4 days without spending any money!3

Body: walked over 14.2K steps in my house LOL
Social: reconnected with old friends & made some new ones...shared a meal...and spent an hour with one who came to my house for first time, really nice conversation, lovely lady. I had so much fun- must get together with others much more often!
Mind: went to a Meet-up that stretched my mind!
Creativity: Actually Made Some Art (as opposed to decluttering/reorganizing my art materials) Yay!! Will work on them more tomorrow!
Productivity: Gave away two bags of art supplies, gifted a duplicate book I had to someone who loved it.
cleared some horizontal surfaces & incorporated some supplies I found in another room into my art room.
Soul: very grateful all day long for my health & for my commitment to eat well, exercise, and de-stress. I am committed.

@skram01, thank you. I'm looking forward to it!
I haven't been doing great in the self-care arena, but bit by bit I'm chipping away at the mountain of things on which I've procrastinated. I made a car service appointment (car has to be inspected this month and needs a little work before that), and I have a plumber coming this morning to fix an issue in my laundry room. Other little things have been accomplished as well.
For those into bullet journaling, crafting, and the like, I'm loving Jordan Clark's YouTube videos. So beautiful and inspiring!2 -

@SaraKim17 I think you’re doing great! Having a safe car & working plumbing IS Self-Care!!!
Thanks for Jordan Clark tip! I’ll check it out!2 -

I agree with @MadisonMolly2017 that having your house and car work properly is such a relief. Husband just redid my brakes and rotated my tires and it feels amazing!
I watched a couple of her videos this morning and now I feel like money doesn't even come close to living up to that!2 -

@MadisonMolly2017 , @skram01, thank you. I'm so happy with the new plumber I tried! Today has been a good, productive day.
@skram01, I'm so glad you liked the Jordan Clark videos. I'm old enough to be her mother, but I love her sensibility and creative talent. She inspired me to start letter writing again, and I want to try a few of her simple craft ideas. 💖0 -
For some reason, I'm not seeing the edit option on my previous post.
I was a little concerned about monopolizing this thread with my bullet journal/craft comments, so I created a discussion (Bullet Journaling, Crafting, Etc.) on the Chit Chat board. Feel free to join me there. 2 -
Today's Self Care
- Body: Stationary Bike (I managed more than 5 minutes; I did 11.)
- Mind: Happy with my work accomplishments (working at home today)
- Spirit: Devotional reading, enjoying the beauty of the snow (5" so far, I think)

@SaraKim17 I can't wait to see what that thread holds!!
Today I stayed after class to review things that are going to be on the test. I've finally decided to take the test so fingers crossed that I make yellow belt.2 -
Made a new self-care goal of taking at least one warm bath per week. A delightfully scented soak is super soothing to me. Checked the first one off my list last night, in fact.

I have a bubble bath every morning. I boastfully sometimes think it's one reason I'm so Zen.
My practical side knows I prefer it to a shower because I've done my back in too many times shaving my legs in the shower. 3 -
@Orphia this is a great goal! To not spend money for four days. I did spend no money for a 24 hour period this week. It felt good.
Self care weekend begins for me: Will go to the doctor for a checkup. I’ll scrapbook this weekend with friends. I have a candle lit while I type. I made it through a week with three nights of busyness and meetings til 9:00 p.m.
Mind: I started with a morning meditation with Deepak Chopra on youtube.
Body: exercise each day and eating wholesome foods (Whole 30 diet)
Soul: Will journal this weekend. I am typing out some memories of my drinking days to remind myself just how much time I missed, how ridiculous I acted, how awful I felt, and how brutal my hangovers really were. Writing these down on paper allows me to forgive myself and move on.5 -
Creativity: Making art each morning! First thing!
Body: Walking > 10K steps a day around my house. More veggies!
Soul: Clearing out almost of all clothes that are too big now... committing to this lifetime journey. Letting go of past; embracing future. Wrote 3 pages in a Journal - quite pleasant- first time in a very long time. Considering doing this on a regular basis.
Productivity: Final push on declutter/reorg/beautification of my Art Studio. Verrry exciting to be at the Finish Line!2 -
Body: exercised on treadmill and lifted weights. Also, I bought some bath salts scented lavender.
Mind: I’m in a hotel this weekend in my own room. I have not turned TV on once, no music and just chilling.
Soul: Scrapbooking my pictures this weekend. Throwing away pictures not needed which is cleansing. No need to keep twenty pictures of an event just keep the four great ones.3 -
Today my self care was having 560 calories worth of Mike and Ike's as lunch. Maybe husband and I went on a movie date and saw the Crimes of Grindlewald. Weather wise it's pretty nice here so I'm looking forward to taking the dog for her evening walk. Yesterday I got to practice with the person who is going to be my partner for my krav test. It helped out my mind at ease because we work well together.4
