Week 4 Review

BIG THINGS HAPPENING during the week of thanksgiving and my birthday.

THERE WAS A LOT OF FEELINGS. a lot going on regarding my health and my home and my partner and our future.

we went engagement ring shopping and picked one out. this was a big deal for us as getting things coordinated between us has been extremely hard!!!!

the process of making a big purchase together was difficult and not so easy but we made the very best of it and i think we're going to come out of it stronger. we paid for half of the ring and will make payments on the other half. not my preference but at least it will be paid in full before its on my finger. thats my preference.

i did my two work outs during last week as well despite all the things.

that means that in the month of november I did 8 work outs!!!

thats a big deal for me!!!

i think it has really improved my health just in that small change.

im trying to think of progress and not perfection because perfection kills me.

Day 29-30 of 365

monday i was feeling sick all day.i have a cough, very low grade fever and sore throat. tested negative for covid twice so it might just be a flu.

i need to get my flu shot. havent gotten it. jeez.

so now recovering.

Day 30 is tuesday and im starting to feel better. imma hydrate, take vitamins and focus on my productivty journal. i plan on focusing on that journal instead of my SHRMFF DAILY. ill still check in here ongoingly but imma focus on my productivity journal.

Materialism & Gratitude

So for my birthday i was SUPER spoiled in every sense. i spoiled myself by buying myself a beautiful necklace i had my eye on from Mejuri during their 20 percent off sale. Ive never bought myself something that expensive and i love it. Then J and his family went in on buying me that Dyson airwrap for my hair. Its wonderful! I got some beautiful clothing leading up to the thanksgiving. I got a perfume, a small purse, productivity notebook and a book. Seriously, I got everything i could ever want and more. Not to mention, the half of my engagement ring was paid. It was an overly indulgent weekend. prior to this weekend, i was able to pay for a year at my gym upfront for a fraction of the cost 250 instead of 400 for the year. I was able to buy all my make up and face products from sephora on sale for the entirety of 2022. I have all the shoes, clothing, make up, face products, jewelry and STUFF THAT I COULD EVER WANT/NEED. i even did couponing for all the toilettries we need for 2022. seriously we have EVERYTHING we could need.

It was so much materialism. I am aware that there was a lot spent and a lot of wanting and getting. I am in complete gratitude for all of it and i want to carry that in 2022 with a mindset of my frugality, minimalism and TRUE GRATITUDE. to me, true gratitude comes in the form of taking really good care of our things and being conscientious of our purchases and ongoing expenses.

i want 2022 to be a year of ENJOYING what i already have. I want to spend time reading the books i have, writing in notebooks i own, organizing and caring for what i already have. being fully present with it all
