**AND ANY & ALL THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US~
🍍 This past week pretty much flew by~... I spent part of last week & the Holiday weekend throughout, vacationing up North back in my Home-town... It's been 15 years since I last visited, so it was long overdue.. I enjoyed myself, had a great visit, & a good July 4th Holiday.. It was great seeing family again, all my old stomping grounds, & I also got some really great rest & relaxation while there.. I wasn't completely on track with everything, but simply just enjoyed my time away. However I did focus on basic step goals & mindful activity each day.~
🌴 This past week once back home, I got back to my usual grind, work & schedule of things.. I got back to my workout classes, outdoor time, relaxing in the pool, & continuing to enjoy these Summer days... However, hydration & sleep could've been better~... I still haven't completely got back on track with everything since being back home, but again have just simply focused on the basics & will continue that into the weekend ahead before starting off a new week fresh.. As well jumping back into my personal goals for July...
🌊 This weekend ahead, I have no concrete intentions.. But will continue to focus on basics, & get in some sort of activity for the day early on Saturday... Then jump back into my Zumba class for Sunday.. Saturday I'll attempt to get caught up on errands that need tending to since being back home.. There's also a small Summer festival, & a new Horror Movie out at the Theater, (Which I haven't been to in ages)~.. But that will depend on how the feeling hits... As well squeeze in some simple relaxation, unwinding, & moments of Simplicity before starting the new week ahead.~
HAPPY WEEKEND~
@PoliteOcean
It's not summer time for me without a little bit of hibernation 😂😂😂😂🩵
The first week of July was intense for me, not a heat lover, not my time of year, not able to sleep, so let's say more than a wee bit cranky 😂😂😂😂😀 but trying to make the most out of it 🩷
I know most people dread the winter but I'm the opposite 💛
@Amanda84
Understandable… I know everyone has their “season” that they prefer. And some can’t tolerate the heat like others... (Don’t think I’d prefer a pool in the Winter time though lol 🤪)…
I also find (for me) that it’s easier to “cool-off” than it is to “warm-up” when I’m cold!.. What about you?
Thanks for sharing Amanda! And Enjoy your weekend 🙂
@PoliteOcean
I find it way easier to warm up then cool down 😂😂😂🩵
@Amanda84
Isn’t it so crazy how that works so differently from person to person…
It Takes me forever-(& day), to knock off a cold chill~ 🥶
@PoliteOcean
How has this first full week of July gone for you?
been sick due to the hot weather so kinda not good
WHAT is something that you can do Today to help Simplify your life, Or in What ways could you Simply Observe this day in a Healthy & Simplified way?!
just to allow myself to be not judged everything i do and say but to just let me be me
It's NOT SummerTime for you Without " cold ice tea or ice coffee
What were your "Highlights or Struggles" of the week?... How were you able to work through your Challenges in a Healthy Way?!
this week was the hot weather normally not as hot as it been so has really effected me a lot to cope just been using fans staying inside mostly
@stormieandpaws
Hotter weather can definitely be a problem for those who are unable to tolerate the heat. Not sure where you are located, but I do see some places have a few days coming ahead with a little break in the heat… But hopefully you find yourself starting to feel better soon…
Allowing yourself to “just be you” is a wonderful way to add some simplicity to your day (or life)! Great choice there..~
Iced coffee definitely seems to be a nice summer treat for many who enjoy coffee flavored drinks.. Do you have a favorite flavor?
Using fans (or whatever you can), to keep cool during extreme heat is a great way to take care of yourself during this time of year.. Definitely keep up whatever you find that’s been beneficial to your health & wellbeing.
Thank you for checking in to share your week with us. And continue to let us know how things are going for you.
@PoliteOcean
like any flavor but chocolate is one i like best
☀️ Hey all Welcome to the Weekend~ How has this first full week of July gone for you? The first week has gone well. I actually completed most of the things at work that I needed to get done.....Things at home are status quo.....
🌴 This is our "2ND" Check-in for JULY~... This month already seems to be moving along swiftly~... As
we continue to move through it, WHAT are some specific "SUMMER" Goals,
plans or intentions that you'd like to focus on, achieve, or Simply
enjoy for yourself? Specific goal.....I have an area in the back yard that used to hold a swimming pool. We removed it a number of years ago and made a sitting area with a fire pit....as time went by, we spent less and less time out there so 2 years ago I removed the fire pit, the stone, and all the landscaping around it (replaced with a gas fire pit on the deck that is so much easier to use)....for some reason the spot has never been able to grow good grass....I think it was all the sand and stone in the area...) My goal this summer is to fix that area, if I have to do it one shovel full at a time....
Also, Focus on continuing to live a lifestyle filled with healthy eating, exercise, and movement.
🌊 This weekend on Sunday July 12th, will be "NATIONAL SIMPLICITY DAY"~... This Observance encourages "Taking a Step back & looking at ways to SIMPLIFY Our Lives"~.... It's an opportunity to "Declutter & eliminate the unnecessary burdens that weight us down"... Even taking a few moments to tune into nature, Take a deep breath, Take a few moments alone to unwind etc.., can help us to refocus & find balance in Healthy Ways~.... WHAT is something that you can do Today to help Simplify your life, Or in What ways could you Simply Observe this day in a Healthy & Simplified way?! I didn't know about this National Simplicity Day.....I guess you can say I started early.....today I revamped my online presence and did some house cleaning on social media if you know what I mean.....it was getting too cluttered with things that weren't really important and things showing up in the scrolls that I really don't know how they got there, nor did I want there....I wanted a more simpler experience when I scrolled the apps......and on Sunday the 12th I'll be spending it at the lake.....Picnic lunch, reading, and leisurely floating in my kayak.....
☀️ JUST FOR FUN: "Fill In The Blank"!... It's NOT SummerTime for you Without "______" ?!~ (I'll start: "Without a Pool or the Beach")~ It's not Summer Time for me without spending as much time outside, in the sun, as I can....I have to make up for all the cabin fever of these New England winters.....
🌴 What were your "Highlights or Struggles" of the week?...My highlights were getting a lot done at work that needed to get done.....I go on vacation Thursday so I wanted to be sure I was done with all the compliance paperwork and reports for my area that I will need for the month so I'm not jumping through hoops when I return on the 27th.....I only have one more mandatory report to fill out for the month and I'm hoping to get it done on Tuesday......
One thing I am struggling with continuously is over thinking, ruminating and catastrophising every little thing that crosses my plate.....whether its work or life related, I tend to think the worst and obsess over ways to keep the worst from happening......I've gone through these phases every 6 or 9 months for the last few years and they last a week to a month or so....they go away for a bit but then some situation happens and I'm back at it....Someone once tried redirecting me by telling me "some people would call that critical thinking, and its not a bad thing".....I don't know about that.....I really don't "deal" with these thoughts, I just let them go until the event passes uneventfully and they eventually go away....I don't do it for every situation either....it kinda comes and goes in phases and I don't know why one day I don't care about A,B, or C but the next week I'm in a full blown anxiety attack over it for days or weeks......I know that isn't healthy but I don't really know how to snap myself out of it..... I'm hoping my upcoming vacation will help me snap out of this one....anywhooooooo.....sorry to ramble about that.....
🌊 What is something else that "YOU" want to Talk about, Add, Or Share with us this week?!... We want to hear from YOU~ Thanks again for prompting me to take a look at my self again this week.......I hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead....
@CyclingThroughLife
Hey there Cycling 🚴 ~
It’s great that your first week of the month went well, was productive, no major issues, & remained status quo on the home-front~
I’d love to see that space in your back yard out of my own curiosity to see what you’re working with there! Sounds like you’ve had a number of dealings with it in different additions & subtractions over time to keep it up to your liking for that particular period of your life & those time periods… If you’re having issues getting the grass to grow due to it all, it definitely sounds like you might have to start from scratch (as you say with the shovel), & dig it all up & get planting grass all over again… Our back yard was similar as we went back & forth about a pool or gazebo etc… (As a pain as it can be in opening each year, I decided the pool would get more use?!) So it stayed.. lol..
Also it’s great that you are continuing to focus on that Healthy Lifestyle as a part of your Summer goals & intentions… With all the Summer fun & trying to squeeze in all those summer moments, vacations, holidays etc…, Healthier intentions can be easier to get away from! (Ask me how I know)! Lolol 😂.. But I know you can do it! 👊🏼
I love how you have already tackled some things for yourself ahead of “National Simplicity Day”! Great job to you there!.. I’m all for the Social Media cleanup! (I don’t understand those algorithms either & how random things just show up out of nowhere that you certainly didn’t ask for nor ask to see)?.. Hopefully your clean-up worked.. I’m still having issues with mine… But it sounds like you definitely have an EXCELLENT time planned ahead for this Day itself! (Picnic lunch & floating on the Kayak)! CAN I COME TOO??!! 😃
Despite your struggles of the week it’s great that you are getting your vacation in soon from it all! Are you Heading to the Beach?? Or just some Quiet “Staycation” time?! Either way Enjoy it!
As far as those pesky Catastrophising thoughts, I know how easy it can be for our mind to just take off on us and run with wild thoughts, feelings, & emotions. Whether perfectly valid, or, randomly “created”~ (again ask me how I know)?! … That can definitely be a more challenging & complex matter to completely & totally break free from… I think when we find something that has worked for us in the past during those times, that we may have to again revert back to those things, & attempt to find peace again in using those coping skills & mechanisms (until it eventually fades again). Because usually, (& thankfully), we do find that they will! And that those obsessive thoughts & emotions will subside again. (And you’re definitely NOT rambling), as I totally hear what you are saying… & have experienced it. Not fun… But try to hold on to a moment, skill, or response to those feelings, that has worked for you in the past. And hopefully you will find that “both” your “Simplicity Day plans, as well as your vacation ahead”, helps with these issues as well.
Again, ENJOY yourself. And thank you as always for checking in to share with us. And as well enlightening us with your thought-out responses! Please continue to keep us updated on how things are going…And how your vacation went!
