Wellness is a lot of things, not just weight! Even as a "Maintaineer," I have some days that feel like I lived wellness, and some not so much.

My eat-clean plan still works for me, and I know what all I need to do in the areas of rest, hydration, stretching and moving, and things that make my heart sing. I will improve my wellness by focusing on the rhythm of each day, as opposed to always reaching for balance and missing, thus setting myself up for failure in trying to do the impossible: getting everything done on my "to do" list. Specifically, I will only DO what is actually reasonable within what each day brings in order to prioritize BEing. This allows me to make progress, as the recovering perfectionist that I am. I went deep on this one, but it's honestly where I am right now.

I will live well today by setting the tone for the day, month, and year with an upward gaze. I will enjoy extended random relaxed time, doing whatever whenever.

Happy New Years! I will live today by making my seconds count when important and let them free when time needs to flow. I am constantly learning about myself. I am learning what I have to offer myself and others and what I need to do for myself and others. We are on a journey of self-discovery but we need to be listening to the movie (our life) when its on. Its so hard to silence the noise around us sometimes. I am going to keep trying to try. I think that the act of trying is not equal to doing but if I give up trying... perhaps I will never succeed. Here is to another year of trying to try.

I will honor myself today by having no junk food on our 15+ hour drive.

Wellness today will be making the wellness and BEing things a priority by doing them first.

Today I will give quality time to date night with Gary.

Today I will limit the adulting to writing my Compassion children, and allowing unscheduled time for whatever pops up-- in order to prioritize music practice and yoga.

Today I will take down my outside Christmas stuff. May not sound like wellness but usually I have everything down well before the 1st and it is driving me insane knowing it's out there. This is for my mental health. lol

I am adding to my wellness today by making time for yoga and music practice.

More yoga and more music are the BEing ticket today. Random goofing off on a chilly evening goes without saying, except I just said it.
