I have been working on being present. I mentioned yesterday that today would be a busy day but I was able to get outside today for a quick break. I love this time of year on our campus. Our grounds crew does a remarkable job with the gardens, and I took time to admire the flowers during a walk. Before we know it, the snow will be falling again. Enjoying this time where I can feel the sun on my arms and face, and all the colors around campus. Truly being present on my walk.

❤️ Did I keep my promise today? For mindfulness today I went for an hour massage. Fully embraced being present in the moment. 🌱 What's one win? Tuesday is a work from home day for me. I had several zoom meetings but didn’t need to be on camera the whole time so used periods when I was off camera to stand and get some light movement in at my desk. ➡️ What's tomorrow's next step? Tomorrow is a busy day, however already planning time between meetings and projects to step away from my desk. As long as it’s not raining outside, I’ll plan to grab my ear buds and do a mindful walk for 5-10 minutes when possible.

As we start our 3 week reset, and I listened to the Daily Jay on the Calm app this evening, the message could not have been more on point!!! #mindfulness

Hello all! I’m Pam. I live in ND with my husband and 2 teenage sons. I am the Director of Admissions at the University of ND School of Law. I chose to join the Reclaim Your Routine group because summer is almost over, and I want to get back on track for the school year. My September and October are our busiest time of year in admissions (for reference I travel a lot during these 2 months - currently have 5 flights, 12 hotel reservations and will be at 15 law fairs just in September and October). These 3 weeks will allow me to refocus before my first trip. I’ve been a little more relaxed this summer so looking for support from this group. And also can’t wait to see what others are choosing for their intentions that may inspire me. I have my doctorate and focused my dissertation on the importance of students taking care of all dimensions of wellbeing during school to build habits that will allow them to transition to the “real world” more successfully post-graduation, so i hope I can be a good resource for fellow community members with ideas that may be able to help them. What is ONE intentional habit I am working to build over the next 3 weeks? Mindfulness - be mindful with my environment (technology distractions, food, who I surround myself with ) and be purposeful by practicing daily meditation. Picture: just got back from vacation this past week where I spend 2 weeks at the lake in New Hampshire! This is the first time since 2017 that I felt confident to wear a bikini again.

Committing to posting so here’s day one of reclaim your routine! I’m Rachel, I live right outside of Boston. Former high school teacher, now working as a learning specialist and manager for an online tutoring company. I work from home which is both a blessing and a curse! I have a 6 year old daughter who’s starting first grade soon, a wonderful hubby and a 12 year old rescue pup. I know we’re only supposed to have one goal but I have two! One goal for August was to get 10k steps every day (so far so good!) and for this challenge I am challenging myself to not hit snooze. It’s so hard for me to actually get out of bed in the morning and I need to get better at it for when our school year routine starts. Looking forward to cheering you all on over the next few weeks!
