Five qualities I'm proud of having

Expressive writing - that is, freely writing about a topic or issue, and exploring your thoughts, feeling and experiences around it - is scientifically proven to increase optimism and build resilience.

So today's prompt is, to write about 5 qualities that you are proud of having.  These should be things that are the same no mater what your weight or size.

Five qualities that I'm proud of, are

  1. My ability to servant lead. I'm an effective leader but only for people who want to be led.
  2. My ability to understand complex problems or concepts and explain them at the right level for the audience
  3. My relentless desire to enable other people do the things that they want to.
  4. My change promotion. I want to make things better and make a plan for that.
  5. I'm not the most organised or 'got it together' person, but I'm really good at getting things done through a fog of chaos that would overwhelm other people.  I can see the problem domain through the fog and do the things that must be done.

soul food list

#SoulFoodList When I need love, affection, or adoration, I get this from: Helping other people and seeing them shine When I need attention or to feel special, I like: Being told I've done a great job. When I need peace or serenity, I'm in my happy place: drifting off to sleep on the porch of a hiking hut in the wilderness, listening to the dusk bird call or a babbling stream. When I need happiness or excitement, I get off on: Smashing out a PB deadlift or an impossible hiking day When I need thrill, adventure, pleasure, I like: driving fast but in control (and legally!) on a twisty road. When I need any or all the feels (or a good cry), I can: Listen to dire straits or the eurovision fire saga soundtrack. But I don't so much do feels.

Ritalin day one

I kinda like this Ritalin stuff. Toby says I got the fast release, not the slow release version because my doctor thinks I'm a responsible adult. Immediate release is 3-4 hrs and slow release is 8-12.  It feels like when I stop thinking, there is no monologue that keeps distracting me from stuff. Also I feel like I can feel the coffee hitting me harder. But it's hard to tell given I've just got back from Singapore - I feel refreshed and reset anyway, plus I've just changed 5 time zones. I don't need my europop or prog house mix in my head to focus I feel like the energiser bunny. I'm walking really fast. I feel a bit jittery. And I start a task and just ... do the task. I managed to have just one lunch at TJ Katsu, and just leave when I finished eating. So there's that! (Normally I stay on my phone, and then order a second lunch primarily to avoid work and stay on my phone for longer).  The day has passed in a blur! I don't know if I was more productive,...

a kilo up

Back from 87.9kg to 89kg in two days. I got this. I know what's happening and I can trust the process. In a fairly good mood this morning. I've got urgent dramatic tasks to do this morning so that should keep me focussed. I've got a couple of life admin things to knock off at lunch time. And the weekend will be busy! Keep focussed, keep productive.
