    @Orphia I started the Handstand challenge. I'm pretty sure they are being untruthful when they say anyone can achieve sufficient strength within 28 days - I do military presses all the time and no way are my arms strong enough to hold 150 lbs over my head, inverted. But nevertheless I'm gonna try it. I have so many bookshelves that it was hard to find a wall, but I did the plank and walk your feet up thing, as instructed. Will let everyone know how it goes.

    Breakfast outside with DH & then a 77min hike together! Gorgeous trees.
    Watched a delightful movie & relaxed after a nap :)

    Yesterday I spent 20 minutes listening to Pema Chodron's Getting Unstuck talk - while sitting on my meditation bench.

    Came back from acupuncture; he put the needles all over my sinus and ear area and I felt my ears unclog and can breath much better this evening. I worked out at the gym. I cooked breakfast for the kids. Just making some progress doing things around the house but still feel mindful and relaxed.

    Yesterday deep cleaned the living room in preparation for the new sofa. Rediscovered all the cat toys which have been under the sofa since forever.

    Still doing the handstand challenge thing. Wall planking for 60 seconds at a time is making my shoulders feel like someone punched me in the arm muscle! I need to find a way to get more room next to the wall, I don't really have enough space to practice the pivoting bit. Whether or not this helps me achieve a handstand, it's going to improve my arm strength.

    Finally pulled up my big girl panties and got on the elliptical for ten minutes. I knew I'd enjoy it when I finally worked myself up to actually start.

    Yesterday I spent over 2 hours outside on the patio - ate lunch there, and hung out with my daughter when she came home from school. Went for a 30 min walk and listened to Getting Unstuck for more self understanding.

    Did some clearing of the mind about stuff I got upset about at work. Still bothered this morning but I was able to get to sleep instead of ruminating on it

    I like to think about the quote: There are over 7 billion people on earth and you're going to let 1 person ruin your day?
    I am not minimizing what happened to you at work, but I try to do some self talk and remind myself that I've been through this before and worse and survived. Sending you a big hug.

    I really have to look for getting unstuck. Is it on youtube?

    @JulieAL1969 I don't know if it's available in its entirety on youtube. I have it on audible.
