Sensual Dom with a slightly sadistic streak

I saw the goal: 90 on your "june fitness journey" post & thought it was a weight goal and was very worried for a second, but that was just your # of stars goal.

Yes, number of stars! Weight is very deliberately not something I want to reward myself over. It’s not the thing that will make me feel stronger or have more energy. That’s what matters.

So, 90 is an average of three stickers a day. I try to get at least three a day with the idea that it requires at least one to be a physical activity goal. Meds are a must-have. Duolingo is an easy check. Physical activity is the tricky one. Some days are busier than others, or busy in different ways. The idea of the three physical activity goals is that I can hopefully do something every day. Either 250 steps an hour (a few minutes of walking) for 9+ hours, a long walk during a conference call, or a quick workout at the end of the day. I often do more, but I at least want to show up for my body somehow each day. After spending 2021 chained to my desk eating m&m’s, I at least owe it that much.

I like the concept of three positive things a day.  Since Dec 2021 I’ve been on a fitness kick - numbers for blood sugar were bad so I hit it hard. 

Dropped 30 pounds, feel super good, though I’m having a tough time losing more.  Still little changes lead to those gains.  Adding mental gains to my daily goal seems like a good idea.

I found this on Reddit.  Having had a family member with mental illness I read this and it made me think it might be helpful to someone out there.

7 Daily Reminders

1. My self worth does not depend on what others think and say about me.

2. My self worth does not depend on how I look or what I weigh.

3. My self worth does not depend on my marks or performance.

4. My self worth does not depend on my number of followers.

5. I am enough just as I am.

6. I can succeed despite a bad day.

7. I am beautiful and valuable – and will treat myself with kindness and respect.

Good Habits to Develop

1. Set yourself some daily goals. Keep them realistic and achievable. That will give direction – so you don’t fritter your time.

2. Read inspirational books and blogs; hang around people who are positive.

3. Stay in touch with what’s happening in the world. We’re not just islands – we are part of one another.

4. Make the effort to stay in touch. Just a ‘like’ on facebook, or a brief text message, conveys to that person that they matter to you.

5. Invest some time in your appearance and health. We’re more confident when we look and feel our best.

6. Pay attention to your priorities. Do what’s most important, and not most urgent, first. (Note: If you never learn to prioritise then everything seems urgent – and that’s what runs your life!)

7. Smile. It makes people feel more positive towards you – and it tends to lift our mood, and enhance our feelings, too.

8. Tidy as you go. It’s easier to work, and you’ll feel a lot less stressed, if you’re working somewhere that’s devoid of clutter. Also, if you tidy as you go then it feels less overwhelming.

9. Include some margin in your life so you don’t feel so stressed, as unexpected things always eat away our time. Expect that to happen – and leave some extra time.

10. Take time for yourself as you need to relax, unwind, recover, and recharge your batteries.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 the little scuff kick at the end, epic.

Things I am tired of today:

1. Money going into mental health awareness campaigns and not into mental health services, as though the problem were solely stigma and never inability to afford treatment.

2. Blaming the opioid crisis on Big Pharma as just an updated version of, “Drug dealers are evil!” without talking about how banning and criminalizing drugs is wrong in the first place, or addiction is hugely correlated with adverse early childhood experiences, especially abuse, neglect, and trauma.
