Day 2,902

Growth:

No one steps in the same river twice. It’s no secret that there are a handful of books I’ve read and reread several times. The one I’ve been reading recently is Great by Choice by Jim Collins. This has to be at least the sixth time I’ve read it and I am still learning so much from it! The benefit of additional life experiences have helped more of it sink in at different levels than in the past. Read, reread, and repeat.

Appreciation:

Today I was gifted additional time in the form of a project a teammate had already completed without my knowledge. Funny how quickly the newly discovered time dissipated. I made a lot of progress on another couple of fronts but realized I still have much more to get done. This has helped me see I have been scheduling myself too tightly and need to give myself more slack time and stay more focused on the most critical. What a gift to learn that this way rather than falling disastrously behind! Uncomfortable learning, but in a very positive way.

Presence:

There were a couple of moments today in which I paused, took a deep breath, and reminded myself to focus on what I can control and not what I cannot. Nothing bad or anything, but just moments when I needed a deep breath to bring awareness to my mind so I would focus. Those moments of calm and stillness helped tremendously!

Thanks!!!
