🎄 This past week went well, in the way of continuing to keep up with and stay on track in the goals that I have created for myself for this last quarter of the year. There were a few things that tried to get the best of me and knock me off track, but I'm so glad that I didn't allow any of that negativity in to do so. ..... I wanted to be on a Healthier track "before" the Holiday season kicked in, and I managed to get back to that.... I stayed on track with everything this week & Kept up with continued Meal-plans and Tracking, Workouts & Activity, My Water could've gone a little better, and my sleep goals got slighty off track this week so I'm going to continue to work on that and prep better for that for the coming week ahead.

🎁 I am about 95% DONE with my Holiday shopping and thrilled... I have a few more odds and ends to get here and there, but mostly the major things are done. The weather hasn't been the best here this week with alot of Rainy days. Which is typical for our Winter here this time of year. Not looking forwards to this, as I am a Sunshine Gal...(Perhaps that should have been my name here?)!.. But this week I did however manage to continue with all my AQUA Classes, ZUMBA, And was able to get One walk in with the Furbaby when we got a Quick break in the weather and a warmer day!...

⛄️ This weekend we are supposed to get a "Small break" from the Rain on Saturday, which is just the perfect amount of time to get out and about , hit up a few Local Holiday Festivals, and do a little shopping, and a few other errands.....And perhaps catch some Christmas Light Shows within the coming week ahead.

What things were you able to accomplish so far?


What was the best thing you were able to do for yourself?
Buy picks for my guitar after breaking mine then tuned it and learned a few new songs.

What were you able to do for someone else?
I mind my own business, work on my self every day, donate to charity and send loving kindness to everyone.

🎁 With so much Holiday Hustle and Bustle, What is ONE "Healthy" thing that you could take the time to do for "yourself" today?

I'm watching a movie now and also instead of going out 'into the fray' I stayed home, had a chat with my counsellor, baked cookies, threw out the trash and tidied.

🎅What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" this week?... How were you able to work through your challenges?!

Highlights - putting up lights, being cozy and housed, having candles lit, bike rides, grocery shopping, learning about assertiveness, practicing more joy and embracing joy, dance workout, seeing the self care and work on myself start feeling less weird and wrong and more natural and fun. Doing well.

Struggles - Being hard on myself.

Hey Dallady~

How cool that you were able to learn a few new songs after getting some new guitar picks. Any songs that we might know?

Sounds like you have a nice grasp on helping others especially through donating to charity and spreading love and kindness. Keep up the great work you are doing. And also awesome job to you on continuing to work on yourself daily. Taking time to watch movies, chatting with your counsellor, baking and tidying up are all "excellent" ways to take care of ourselves.

Despite your struggle of feeling like you are "Being to hard on yourself", its really great that you have so many "Positives" to help counteract that. That is quite the list of amazing positives that you have there with "putting up lights, getting cozy, lighting candles, bike rides, shopping, practicing joy, dancing, selfcare......etc.. etc...! Like Wow! SOOOO MANY great Highlights!! ALL Amazing and Awesome!
Thank you for checking in this week and sharing such a wonderful post with everyone. And for letting us know how things are continuing to go for you!

Hi, Ocean,

1.🎄 How has everyone been doing this week? I've been sick with a cold.

🎅 How was the First FULL Week of December for you?!....What things were you able to accomplish so far? What was the Best thing that you managed to do for yourself?.... What were you able to do for someone else?

The first full week was me dealing with being sick with a cold and then being late to work on Friday.
Accomplish? I went to work 2 days. I did the laundry at a new laundry mat. I also went to two different grocery stores after work on the days I made it to work. That was a lot.
Do for myself? I stayed in bed basically from Friday night when I first got sick, through Wednesday afternoon, on my last day off before returning to work. I think it helped shorten how long I had the cold's worst symptoms.
Do for someone else? I helped people at work as much as I could.

🎁 With so much Holiday Hustle and Bustle, What is ONE "Healthy" thing that you could take the time to do for "yourself" today?
I plan to wash my hair and put a color mask on it. :)

⛄️ JUST FOR FUN: What is Your Most Favorite "Holiday MOVIE"?!.... "

I don't have one. There are too many to like.

🎅What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" this week?... How were you able to work through your challenges?!

Being sick during my second week at my new job was a challenge. I talked to my boss on the weekend before to let her know I was sick. She told me to stay home Monday. Since I work with children and food, it isn't good for me to be there with a cold. I also talked to her every day after, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I let her know how I was feeling and if I thought I should stay home the next day. She'd give me her input and then we'd go from there. So, while it was uncomfortable to talk to my new boss every day about needing to be off again the next day, I did it because I knew it was the right thing to do.

Hey there Tree~

Hopefully the week ahead will find that you are feeling better much sooner!

Its great that despite not feeling your best that you were able to get some chores and errands done for yourself such as laundry, and getting the groceries. I'm sure it must've been a challenge. But its great that you were able to also just relax and stay in bed when you knew that your overall wellbeing needed it. And to allow time for yourself to heal up. ...How nice of you though that through it all that you managed to still find some time to help others at work and do what you were able to do.


How cool that you are planning to treat your hair. Its always nice to pamper ourselves in some way and treat ourselves physically.
Despite all your challenges over the course of the week, its great that you have a Boss that was willing to work with your through it all. That is definitely helpful and beneficial to have a good boss like that who understands. And good job on knowing that you needed to take it easy, AS WELL as 'Protecting Others" too! I'm all for that!

Thank you for sharing your week with us. Please keep us up to date on how things are continuing to go for you!

🎄 How has everyone been doing this week? - One of the previous check in posts mentioned "preparing/getting organized early". I've been getting stricter on myself with this and it's made my life much easier and eased my anxiety

🎅 How was the First FULL Week of December for you?!....What things were you able to accomplish so far? What was the Best thing that you managed to do for yourself?.... What were you able to do for someone else? - I learned to stop telling myself that I can't do things, most of my anxiety and hesitation to step into creative/leadership positions both here and offsite comes from my own self doubt and self talk. I'm becoming way more self aware

🎁 With so much Holiday Hustle and Bustle, What is ONE "Healthy" thing that you could take the time to do for "yourself" today? - I want to make sure that I spend at least one whole day drinking water, while also cutting down on the snacks in between meals if they aren't fruits or smoothies. It's also getting pretty cold here in the U.S. on the east coast however I'm still making time to spend some time outside or by a window inhaling as much fresh air as possible. Air from the outside revitalizes me

⛄️ JUST FOR FUN: What is Your Most Favorite "Holiday MOVIE"?!.... " - "Perfect Holiday" with Gabrielle Union and Morris Chestnut ☺️

🎄Enjoy MORE Healthy Living Holiday Icebreakers "HERE"! .... - I really enjoyed this post :D

@SirenOfSerenity

Hey there Siren!.... That is so awesome for you that you decided to take action on your goals in getting prepared and organized. And that you are finding the benefits of it for yourself. And that its making things easier for you and lessoning your anxiety. Thats a HUGE Positive!

Great job to you on taking charge of your thoughts regarding self-doubts and anxieties that you were feeling. And learning to lean into becoming more aware of yourself. Keep up the great work with that!

How cool... I'm on the "East Coast" too, and you're right it is certainly getting colder...And I applaud you on being able to continue to enjoy the whether, outdoors and fresh air whenever and however you can squeeze that in! We need that for sure. And its so great that you are continuing to create and make some healthier goals for yourself regarding hydration, and cutting back where needed to make more room for healthier options!.. You are doing Amazing!

I saw that movie too (Perfect Holiday).... It was awhile ago, and a pretty good movie... but I mean honestly, Anything with "Morris Chestnut" is worth the watch! lolol 😛... I may have to make some time for and pull that one up again!

I'm so glad you enjoyed the "Holiday Icebreaker Post"... Icebreakers are always fun and a great way to get to know others. Thank you for taking part, and for checking in and sharing with us this week! Continue to keep up the great work you are doing with your goals and here in the Subcom. And please keep us up to date on how things are going!

@PoliteOcean Here’s how the past week went. I was consistent with my devotional time. I finished the book of Jeremiah and started to study the book of John. Sunday I watched church for 90 minutes. Sunday afternoon I went for a walk through my neighborhood. Monday my new batch of supplements arrived. I continued with my studies of art history, philosophy of art, and reading poetry. Wednesday I went to the dermatologist. I don’t have any serious conditions, my issues are mostly superficial. Thursday morning the electricity went out for 45 minutes. Later Thursday night, the electricity went out again. I decided I needed to buy a flashlight from Amazon in case it happens again. The internet has been a tremendous blessing over the past 17 years. I don’t know how disabled people survived before the internet. Tunde took me for a walk 4 times this week. I always think of feces whenever I see Stuart, even when he doesn’t smell bad. Alan has been gone for two weeks, and Dennis has been gone for 8 weeks. For this upcoming week, I have a chiropractic appointment on Friday. I’m also going to return my back up hard drive. I still need to buy a back up drive, but maybe I should go to a real computer store instead of buying it over the internet. I’ve been working on a 7 day prayer calendar, and so far it’s 15 pages long with a couple of addendums. I’m going to try to print it out on Wednesday when I go to the library. Sifa, Alan and Nia all have terrible taste in clothes. It hurts my eyes.

Hey Regmo~ .....Good job at being able to continue to stay consistent with your devotional time and All your studies.., And good for you for being able to get your book of Jeremiah completed and starting a new study of John. Thats great that you were able to get in a good bit of Church time. I used to devote myself to getting it in first thing before starting my day, but have slipped on that. I find that it puts me in a good head space by doing it before anything else, and need to get back into that... 90 minutes is really good. Its also great that you were able to get out and about for your walks this week, and also that your supplements came. I still haven't ordered mine yet. I'm sure thats great news for you from your Dermatologist and Thats now one less concern for you going forwards. As far as the electricity going out, I think its a good idea to have a flashlight as a back up plan. Or at least some candles or something, either way they are both pretty cheap. Also I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to visit with a real computer store for your back-up drive. At least weight your options between the two. Thats great that you have also decided to work on your prayer calendar. Hopefully you will find the benefits of it that you are seeking in your prayer time. Keep us updated on how that goes for you. Thanks for sharing with us this week and continuing to let us know how things are going.
