Today whilst doing my regular! walk I was left alone with my own thoughts because I had forgotten my IPod . I very quickly went into this beautiful state of meditation without even having to try. It is impossible for me to walk AND have lots of different thoughts bouncing around my head as they normally do. It seems that it is impossible for my brain to multi-task when I am walking. It is lovely to only have to deal with one thought at a time.
The thought that dominated was about my priorities for the coming weeks. Number one of course is my health and improved fitness. Number two is my nonexistent business and the reversal of that state. And number three is the upcoming trip to Germany in October.
Despite a whole month of tooth ache and dentist visits and root canal treatments I think I am doing well on my number one priority. I have joined online weight watchers to keep a record of my food intake and have added a pedometer and some ankle weights to my exercise routine.
I would love to not talk about number two but I have made a promise so I better do more than talking. The next action required is really not that complicated. All I have to do is to add a couple of items to an existing online shop front. I have talked about it for months, I have the items ready made but I am not doing it. Partly because (of course) my items are not good enough in my mind (will they ever be?) and partly I cannot think of another equally good sounding excuse. So I am going to try and try and try again until it is done. And it will be- trust me.
The third priority only requires a tick list of tasks which I have already partly written and started. Nothing too tasking apart from possibly viewing our dream house and having to deal with German estate agents - what is up with these guys? After recent experiences they will not get gold stars for their customer service. All I can say is LOUSY.
In summary - today I walked 11,000 steps, ate well and set up a bit of fun for the weekend. Not bad!
