📅 Daily Check-in - October 8, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Today was a long day. It was excruiating travelling on the roads only 2.5 weeks post major surgery so I need to be kind to myself. I had a really good review from the surgeon and a lot of the pieces of the puzzle over the last two weeks were finally put in to perspective. We have possible explanations for everything that didn't go to plan these past two weeks and more importantly, we have a path forward. Roll on November when I hit the 2 month mark. In theory I can go back to work then - hmmm i won't tell if you don't - I've been working anyway! Actually I don't think that would surprise the surgeon - that's why he put me in a horrible brace - it's like a punishment from the medieval times - a torture device. If I don't do as I'm told, it'll come back to bite me! I'm glad today is over, it's put to bed some lingering theories and now I can just rest." 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 6/10 ⚡ Energy: 5/10 🎯 Focus: 6/10 😌 Calmness: 6/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 5/10 🔥 Motivation: 6/10 ⭐ Average: 5.7/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: ☀️ Morning Sunlight 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol 🥩 Hit Protein Goal 🍳 Home Cooked Meal 📋 Planned Day 🍽️ No Phone at Dinner 👂 Active Listening

Daily Check-in - 2026-10-07 Reflection I love Wednesdays...Art time ❤️ Definitely gives me more energy for the rest of the day. I love the way JT put it too... What stands out to me is how you put it: art doesn't use up your energy, it gives you energy "for the rest of the day." A lot of people with ADHD brains treat creative time as the reward they get once the real work is done. You've just shown it works the other way round for you. It's fuel.🤩 Activities 🚿 Cold Shower, 🛏️ Good Sleep, 🌙 Early Bedtime, ☀️ Morning Sunlight, 🚶 Walk, 🥗 Healthy Eating, ☕ No Late Caffeine, 💊 Took Supplements, 🥦 Ate Vegetables, 🍳 Home Cooked Meal, 🧘‍♂️ Meditation, 🙏 Prayer, 📝 Journaling, 🎯 Deep Work, 📧 Inbox Zero, 📋 Planned Day, 🌅 Focused Morning, ⏱️ Time Blocking, 🎓 Online Course, 🎨 Creative Work, 👥 Quality Time, 🫙 2Lt Water, 🥗 Healthy snack Scores 😊 Happiness: 9/10 ⚡ Energy: 8/10 🎯 Focus: 8/10 😌 Calmness: 9/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 9/10 🔥 Motivation: 9/10

📅 Daily Check-in - October 7, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Yesterday was busy but good. Took my grandson to his counseling appointment which went well. It seems to be helping him, plus he got to go to Boy Scouts last week and this week after not having been since April. He spent some time with us at our place and then I watched him and his brothers and sisters at their house for about an hour or so until my son got home and got situated for the evening. I came home and we had leftovers from the wonderful meal from the awesome Italian restaurant from the night before. I had some filet mignon and an excellent sweet potato casserole and some asparagus. Afterwards, I spent some time on an online art business course and also some time with my husband and younger son (and our pup too, of course! He's almost always sitting on me or next to me!). Today, I have an appointment this morning and will be picking up groceries and then coming home and doing some sketching/painting and working on my art business class. I should probably get those certifications done for Medicare, too. My heart so is not in that anymore. But I'm so happy that I've found something that does speak to me and makes me happy. Didn't do my breathwork yet this morning. Was going to do it before breakfast, but I'm still a bit stuffy and it's hard to take deep breaths in through the nose. LOL I still want to do what I can with that. If there are any suggestions when dealing with a stuffy nose and doing breathwork, please share!" 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 8/10 ⚡ Energy: 8/10 🎯 Focus: 8/10 😌 Calmness: 8/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 6/10 🔥 Motivation: 8/10 ⭐ Average: 7.7/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol ☕ No Late Caffeine 🥦 Ate Vegetables 🙏 Prayer 🛋️ Therapy Session 🎓 Online Course 👥 Quality Time 🤝 Helped Someone 👂 Active Listening

💭 Reflection: Tuesdays check-in: a mixed bag 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀: Started a new body-doubling rhythm with my swimming buddy Cherie (whom I met from my weekend getaway in Welliewood NZ) - and it was genuinely awesome. I also had my neighbour's young lad helping in the yard for a bit of pocket money. Two birds, one stone. 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝘁: The late-afternoon drink. Work stress is high, there are too many balls in the air, and it's bleeding into my sleep and my calm. My mission for the next two days is getting a few of those balls down on the ground. 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁: This week I've been noticing when I take on more than I can carry - for other people. I'm giving myself permission to protect my energy for my own path, and I've had some honest, kind conversations about that - some of it in my work life and some in my personal life - I guess that is learning takign charge of that People Pleaser Mask 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴: "I'm learning that my boundary-setting isn't selfish—it's essential. Dropping the People Pleaser Mask lets me stop overextending just to avoid discomfort or conflict, so I can finally clear the mental space I need for my own priorities." 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹: Some solid wins, some tough bits, and a few important resets. 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 7/10 ⚡ Energy: 5/10 🎯 Focus: 5/10 😌 Calmness: 4/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 4/10 🔥 Motivation: 5/10 ⭐ Average: 5/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 🌙 Early Bedtime ☀️ Morning Sunlight 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🌿 Grounding 🚶 Walk 🏊 Swimming ☕ No Late Caffeine 🥦 Ate Vegetables ✨ Positive Mindset 🎯 Deep Work 📋 Planned Day 🌅 Focused Morning 🌄 No Screentime in Morning ⏱️ Time Blocking 🧠 Learning 🎨 Creative Work 🤝 Helped Someone 📞 Called Friend/Family 🍽️ No Phone at Dinner 👂 Active Listening 🌈 Creative Dopamine 👯💞 Connection - Tribe/BDub Buddies ☕ Coffee Cutoff by Midday 📵 Phone out of Bedroom 🐦‍ Flame - Community 🐕 Jaz Time 🦓🦓 Rock- Health/Wellbeing 🌷🌻 Gardening - Makeover

Daily Check-in - 2026-10-05 Reflection What a wonderful weekend...just what I needed. Time outside, time for connection with old and new friends, time with my hubby, time with family, time for myself. And...the cherry on top was not only selling a painting at the Art Exhibition but also winning the People's Choice award I was so excited and chuffed 🤩 Activities 🚿 Cold Shower, 🛏️ Good Sleep, 🌙 Early Bedtime, ☀️ Morning Sunlight, 🚶 Walk, 🥗 Healthy Eating, ☕ No Late Caffeine, 💊 Took Supplements, 🥦 Ate Vegetables, 🍳 Home Cooked Meal, 🧘‍♂️ Meditation, 🙏 Prayer, 😌 Low Stress Day, ✨ Positive Mindset, 📧 Inbox Zero, 🌄 No Screentime in Morning, 📅 No Meetings, 🎓 Online Course, 🎨 Creative Work, 👥 Quality Time, 📞 Called Friend/Family, ❤️ Date Night, 🎉 Social Event, 🫙 2Lt Water, 🥗 Healthy snack Scores 😊 Happiness: 10/10 ⚡ Energy: 9/10 🎯 Focus: 8/10 😌 Calmness: 10/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 9/10 🔥 Motivation: 9/10
