Read more about my December Intentions here.
Scoring:
(+) Did Well
(-) Could have done more
(+/-) Inbetween
(+) Be unoffendable
This intention was really, really beneficial to me. I think I became very paranoid and therefore overly sensitive because of K to the point where I was taking everything personally. It really helped to step back, readjust, and assume the good in everyone. It was a burden off of me. I wasn't wasting energy on the potential conversational misfires or what I was interpreting through them. I definitely want to incorporate this into my life long term.
(-) Read one book all the way through
Oh, I have such good intentions! But horrible follow through, especially when it comes to reading. I used to be able to read a book in its entirety. Welp, not anymore. I start or skip around depending on what sounds interesting. A few books I started reading include You Learn by Living by Eleanor Roosevelt and Unoffendable by Brant Hansen.
(-) Meditate for 5 minutes every day
I didn't meet the 5 minutes every day mark, but I did manage to stop myself regularly and for a moment, remind myself to breathe in, exhale, and to listen to the sounds around me with my eyes closed to ground me. This was helpful, even if minute, and I really do want to continue to be more mindful.
(+) Do something nice for 3 people
I can't remember what all I did, but I know this intention gave me license to do lots of nice things. For my teammates, for our Starbucks team, for our ITS partners--I think I'm forgetting some, but that's okay. I really just had fun spoiling people and letting them know they are special and/or appreciated. And I definitely want to continue to be generous.
(+) Stay off my personal Instagram
I went on my Instagram once- and that was really to enter into a contest. I feel a lot better not looking at it and even when I looked at it afterwards, I immediately felt the same feelings of not feeling like enough come straight back. So I hung up my Instagram hat for now. I am going to post significant pictures to me, like when my friends M and B visited, to remember certain things, but definitely not everything like I once did. At least not for now. It may change one day, but for now I won't worry too much about it.
(-) Find one thing to be grateful for every day
I didn't do this one very well. I tried to be more conscious of gifts and blessings, but couldn't seem to capture it every day.
(+/-) Write something every day
Definitely didn't do this one well! As you can see for the month of December, hehehe.
