    Hello my fellow goal setters! Sorry to be late to the party. I forgot to bookmark this thread and... well, eight days have now gone by!

    ♥️ How can you create habits around moving your body that show it you care & appreciate all that you can do? My February plans have been thrown out the window: Monday night I blew out my right knee again. Hello, crutches and brace. Goodbye, karate and skiing. New plan: do whatever the physiotherapist says.

    ♥️ What habits might help you feed your body in a more loving & caring way? I have set three alarms, morning-afternoon-evening, to integrate some content I've been studying, to review my intention, and to meditate, respectively. I like how caring about my thoughts is a way to care about my body. After all, mind and body are not separate; the brain is an organ, too.

    ♥️ How can you prepare for sleep in a way that your body will appreciate? The meditation helps. I also have these amber glasses I got from Amazon. I wear them for an hour or so before bed. I look like a bug (LOL), but it really mutes everything and puts me in the mood to sleep.

    ♥️ Is there a habit you could create to appreciate yourself more? The alarm to review my intention is a good new habit. I've also recently signed up for a free 7-day "Stop Holding Yourself Back" challenge in my meditation app. It starts in a week.

    My goals are finally turning to real habits especially my meditation I look forward to starting my day this way followed by a coffee or two. I find if I can’t accomplish this in the morning my day is out of sorts when this happens I do one before I fall asleep.
    Glad to see everyone working to stay focused.

    February I will …..
    Right This Minute
    I am working on being more proactive, using Right This Minute as a spur to encourage me to resist procrastination.
    I’ve been trying it out, and it certainly creates great positive feelings to be able to get started on a task. And once I start, I find that I usually complete the task.
    David at Raptitude advocates writing on a few post-it notes and sticking them around the place to remind you.
    HOW?
    After I see one of my RTM post-its …..
    I will find 1 small task that can I do RIGHT THIS MINUTE and DO it > 5 times a day.
    Reward: I HAVE THE POWER

    After I have breakfast,
    I will take a walk outside just for myself to ponder. I will start by doing this two times per week.

    Before getting out of bed in the morning, I will do 5-10 mins of my lower leg physical therapy or my upper body workout.

    Hi! New to the group, but not so new to the MyFitnesaPal. So, I need active friends on here.

    •After I fix my Nannylunch, I’ll take a walk around the neighborhood.
    •Every night after getting Nanny in bed, I’ll check the pre-planned meal plan set up for me and set aside the ingredients.
    •After finishing my nightly check-ins, drink a cup of relaxation tea.
    •While drinking my nightly tea, do a quick journal entry.

    I show myself kindness and compassion through journaling and meditation. Years of therapy at
    work.

    I use Notion as a habit tracker.

    These are wonderful habits to focus on @KacyCarpe! And I’m sorry to hear about your knee but good plan to do whatever the physio suggests!

    I love @MadisonMolly2017 ’s theme for us this month. Self care and self love are foundational to everything we do and what we want to accomplish. We are all magnificent people deserving of love, kindness, respect, and fulfillment. Thank you Maddie for encouraging us to focus on ourselves this month!

    My self care focus this month is to amp up a bit more JOY into my life everyday. Sometimes I get so focused on what I need to accomplish each day, that doing joyful things gets sidelined. Not this month!

    Among my joyful pursuits this month:
    • Weekend cooking segments with my daughter who lives 2000 miles away. We pick a recipe and then spend an evening each making it while we chat on the phone. Last night we made vegetarian shepherds pie.
    • Extra long guitar sessions. I just love playing!
    • Caught up with a friend I hadn’t spoken to in awhile. Made me so happy!

    Here’s my updated tracker Looking forward to more joyful moments each day!

    I'm running about 2 weeks behind time.
    Dec. I focused on an earlier bedtime (10).
    Jan's focus was returning to a minimum of 8 x 8oz water.
    Starting today, the 13th, I have to kick it up to adding (i) keeping track of points (WW), and (ii) do at least 15 min deliberate exercise /day (can incl stretching).
    Wt today was 167.4.
