Wheel Work, Week 2

 Jan 8-14, 2018

Health: Dealt with teeth and was physically active, except for Sunday: definitely feel like I did better than some weeks, and while I did not choose the best dietary options, I did make a pretty solid effort. 4/5

Communication: I did more than the minimum, and feel like I left no one in the lurch over the course of the week. It is not on me if my boss cannot read a calendar or hear me when I tell him I will not be in, especially when I know for certain I told him, more than once. I did my part. If written comms are what I need for him, I will start to confirm every conversation in text, just so we both have a written version to refer to. 5/5

Balance: I feel like I stayed fairly focused and balanced this week. I did have a moment of deep imbalance on Saturday night, and I am acknowledging my role in that spasm of misery. I am aware of that pit within, and that I should not make any major decisions when under it’s bleak influence. 4/5

Resources: I have been honest about my situation and about what factors affect it in terms of energy and financial well-being. I feel like I made a distinct effort to not spend frivolously, and to be conscious of the limits of my resources. I did spend on junk food, but also on better choices. I did not make much effort to gain more resources. 3/5

Creativity: I finally began one of the stories that has been burning a hole in my head for months. I also almost finished a crochet project, and blogged every single day. 5/5

Environment: While I did not finish every environmental goal I gave myself, I did make serious and successful efforts to keep my home and my work more livable and workable spaces, and to develop healthier and tidier habits. I do need to more fairly allot time and energy for these tasks, or they will continue to be too little, too late. 4/5

Contribution: A couple of projects paid off this weekend, and I feel that I am being heard in two of my hobby groups. I feel like I am having a positive impact on most of the lives of people I care about. I could invest some creative energy and time into how I can make a bigger and more valuable impact moving forward. 4/5

Legacy: I feel like I got through to a couple of people about things I mentor in, and represented myself fairly there. I feel like I was, for the first time, dressed appropriately for the company I was keeping, and taken more seriously as a result. I need to consider how better to listen and allow other people space to express their stories. I am often arrogant and that is not a part of my legacy I wish to bear. 2/5

Overview:    31/40 : Excellent work! When I put the work in, it pays off. I had one bout with the Later, Dude, and I won, and did not disappoint anyone with that issue. I asked for the help I needed, or rather I gave others the room to offer the help they felt able to, and accepted it graciously when they came through with the offer. This puts me in their debt, which is not a bad place to be. I dealt with some extremes of pain as an adult, and managed to continue my commitment to healthier patterns, and I am proud of myself for the work I have done. The way looks smoother from here, and that is good and mete: I am worth making myself a smoother path through this hard work.
