I've been working with three different journals. For my one little word "Health" journal, I've decided it's complete artistically. I do pull it out each week and review my journaling in it. So far, here's how I've been doing: I started an eating plan (weight watchers), which allows me to track what I'm eating. I've lost my fear of the scale and have managed to lose a few pounds. Most importantly, I've made the mental commitment to return to a healthy way of eating. From a mental health standpoint, I'm doing much better at "letting go" of the children's problems. I'm still there for them, but I'm not internalizing their struggles in the same way. I've also been very mellow about work. I'm drinking water, lots and lots of water, and I'm getting much more sleep and rest. Pretty good! Still to do? All the things about becoming more active and finding a doctor and getting checked out.
For my resolutions journal, I've got an art page in progress about learning photoshop. I'll post it early next week with a class review of Kim Klassen's Skinny Mini Ecourse.
For my "Fifty and Fabulous" intentions journal, I considered lots of different ways in which I was fabulous this month. I finally made the organizational decision to complete the pages in order and use whatever background was first (or next in the journal), rather than trying to find a background that best fit an idea. So, using the first background in my journal, I came up with the page above. The journaling reads, "In January, I was fabulous because I realized, at 50, it's sometimes okay to put myself ahead of my children." The page is fairly simple - I just added some cardstock stickers, a little stamping and the journaling to the background. But I am very happy with!
So, what have you been up to? Regular comments always appreciated, but, if you can, I'd love it if you'd blog about it this weekend and then add your blog post to the Mr. Linky tool below:
