Journal Prompt #1

 How am I feeling today? 

This is my first journal prompt question.  I attempted to answer this question earlier when I was at work.  Bad idea!  Work is probably not the place to try to add a blog post, especially when my feelings about where I work started to creep into my post and pretty soon all I was typing was Negative Nelly comments.  

I am trying to figure out how to answer the question of how I feel today.  Honesty is the best medicine.  Physically I am tired and sort of sleepy. Physically I am disgusted with myself, with how I look. I've felt that way for quite a while. What can I do about it? A lot....but I struggle with being disciplined.  I know it takes a while to create a habit, and I will start and try but then it's easier for me to give in and I get lazy and basically tell myself it's ok to fall off the wagon because I can hop back on at any time. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't.  But, if I don't, how am I going to start working on the things that I should be doing to help myself get to a better, healthier place?  Maybe this is a good place to start. I can log my progress. 

How do I feel emotionally? I feel pretty sound. I feel content.  Is it a good idea to ask a woman that when she's PMS'ing? lol

How do I feel mentally?  My mind is in constant motion. I am constantly thinking, whether it's what I need to do, what I forgot to do, prepping for something coming up, making mental lists and adding to my mental calendar.  I don't know if I ever feel mentally relaxed, my mind doesn't stop.  I think my mind still goes when I'm sleeping.  Sometimes I over-think, and that gets me into trouble. 

Did anything exciting happen in my day? We just brought home 6 new hens this evening. This means more eggs to sell!!  

What am I reading right now? I'm reading a series called "Crave" by Tracy Wolff.  It's paranormal/fantasy. I love books with werewolves, vampires, fairies, etc... This falls right up my alley. I'm in the middle of the third book right now.  If you enjoy paranormal, I recommend it!

What am I watching? Right now I am watching Schitts Creek on Hulu. I really like Daniel Levy.  

Tell me...are you reading anything exciting right now?  Did anything exciting happen today?  What are you watching?

Until next time....

Journal Prompt #3

 What do I wish I felt more of today? I'm not sure how to answer this today. I have had a very productive day today. We are having a family gathering here at our house tomorrow for the October birthdays and I have been cleaning and prepping. We finally got our pool ready for winter too. I also hopped on my treadmill for 25 minutes this afternoon and that felt good! It's been a while. I don't exercise very much these days and I can tell in how my body feels and how it responded to walking for 25 minutes.  I have to start somewhere right? I have been listening to 2 new podcasts and they are very motivating. They are women encouraging women but also sharing their thoughts and feelings when they are struggling.  This is refreshing to hear. Not that I want people to struggle but knowing that I'm not the only one having a rough day or feeling down or feeling overwhelmed, be willing to talk about it and vent it out and then move on. They don't have a perfect life and neith...

Journal Prompt #5

 What character traits do I admire the most in others? This is my journal question for today. This one doesn't take much thought because I can tell you right away what really grabs me. When someone is 100% themselves, when they are real. What I mean is, they don't put on a show in front of people to make themselves look like someone else. When they act the same around you alone as they do around 100 people.  Yeah, everyone has their days and at times they may not be themselves, and some people don't want to be social and be around people, but they are still them. Unfortunately, I am friends with people that put on a show in front of groups of people to make themselves appear to be they are loving, super friendly, family oriented and affectionate. These people are not really these people. I know the true behavior of these people and how they act behind the scenes.  How do people pull it off? I would eventually screw up and show my true colors. I'm not good at hiding thin...
