Just finished my first section of Week 1 and realized something I've been missing for 60 years: the exhaustion that hits me when I try to work isn't laziness. It spikes on the exact days I'm bracing for conflict. The eggshells I walked on as a kid are still running my nervous system. Naming it changes everything.

📅 Daily Check-in - July 10, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Following our live Q&A this morning, I thought I would do a check in at the beginning of the day to set my intention and then reflect on it at the end of the day. Today is Matariki and as such, it's a stat holiday. I'm going to use my time to bond with my youngest son (not that we don't have a bond because we do - a strong one) and we're going to set up a 200L fish tank (in theory!). It will need to stand for a few days before we introduce our fish into it. I also want to use snail rid on the plants in a separate container before introducing them to the tank. Alongside that, I have my nephew coming to look at the chook house and figure out how to weather proof it better - it's a large outdoor area but the cold southerly winds rip through it and if it's raining - the wind takes it through the whole area leaving their food drenched. And then very late tonight, we will travel down to Auckland Airport (approx 3 hours) to pick up my injured son who arrives at 9:50pm. So we won't get home again until the early hours of the morning but it will be wonderful to have us all back together again. So those are the intentions for today and I will reflect when I get home on the successes for the day. I'm determined to have a day where I won't let it be sabotaged by others." 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 7/10 ⚡ Energy: 7/10 🎯 Focus: 7/10 😌 Calmness: 7/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 6/10 🔥 Motivation: 7/10 ⭐ Average: 6.8/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol ☕ No Late Caffeine 🥩 Hit Protein Goal ✨ Positive Mindset 🧠 Learning 🎸 Skill Practice
