Ta Da! Friday was a listless day. I had to restrain myself from making just a few notes.
Today: already I've completed week 6 of the well-being class on Coursera. Next is four weeks of picking one of her rewirements and keeping at it for a month. Here's the list: - Signature Strengths - using your top character strengths in new ways
- Savoring - taking time to savor the things you enjoy
- Gratitude - (List and/or Letter) - expressing gratitude for the people and things in your life
- Kindness - increasing your acts of kindness
- Social Connection - making connections with strangers and acquaintances along with scheduling time for the people in your life
- Exercise - increasing your physical activity to at least 30 minutes a few times a week
- Sleep - making sure you sleep at least 7 hours a night several times a week
- Meditation - meditating for 5-10 minutes if you are a beginner or increasing your time in meditation if you already meditate regularly
I think I'll roll with gratitude, but I want to sit with this decision a day before committing.

Oh hey! I know which class it is! I've completed it earlier and it was mind opening. It gives me a new perspective and now I'm putting it in practice. I can't say I'm new to meditation but it still has to yet work on me. I set my phone up so I can do 5-6 deep breathes every hour, and a meditation at night before bed. So far so good I guess. Does it help you?
Yeah..I'm taking measly steps everyday, too, both on my well-being and the creative side of my career. It's not easy. I'm naturally an impatient person and everything is testing my grit. I tend to get easily upset, irritated. Anger issues?
Initially I see this thread and wanted to rant a bit. Today's a cloudy rainy day mixed in a bit of thunder. Been staying home so much that I'm grumpy at everybody around me, now no one wants to talk to me. See, still have a long way to go with those meditations...
