We are now a week into February! How are you feeling about that?

I had hoped I’d be more organized by now…hoped that I’d have a few more communication systems in place…hoped that I’d be a few pounds lighter and a bit stronger.

But I’m proud of myself for continuing to hold on to the intentions I set for myself: perpetuating the positive things that kept me going during the craziness of 2020, and holding an awareness that in every moment I have choice.

Note, I did not say that I am happy with all of the choices I made. There is a reason I have not lost the weight I say I want to lose :) But at least for January, I was much more aware that I held the power to choose what to eat and how much — and I have a new routine for booking time at the gym so it gets built into my weekly calendar. There is a reason I still find myself in back to back meetings with no break for walking once around the track — but at least for January, I owned the fact that I was the one who scheduled the meetings and that I can choose to schedule differently this month.

How are you doing with the intentions you set for yourself? Have you kept them front and center? Are you ready to re-confirm them? Or have you considered new ones? It’s only February… there’s a lot of year ahead.
