Day 3,099

Growth:

In re-reading Getting to Yes with Yourself by Willam Ury I can’t help but see some very interesting similarities to Awareness by Anthony de Mello. In both books there’s a focus on utilizing self awareness and observation as a tool for both growth AND creating emotional distance for ourselves from our initial reactions.

Pause, breathe, and be aware of my thoughts and emotions. Don’t change or attempt to fix them, just observe.

Appreciation:

Both of the boys had done pretty big sports days! Dominic got his first rugby starts and scored for the first time in a 7’s match. Gavin did very well in his 4x400m relay and set a new personal best in the pole vault. So rewarding to see and hear about them doing well in things they love!

Presence:

Starting my day with yoga and getting a nice hike in midway through the day was amazing! My mindset was started in a wonderful place and then I had a calm respite from work around the house on the hike. Such chill moments of presence shared with Becky.

Thanks!!!
