📅 Daily Check-in - March 20, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Working on worksheets and commitment letter - pretty amazing process. I'm still having technical issues in that this check in is dated for yesterday and I'll title it differently when I post it. One small win - one of my subtractions is to defer my neurographica drawing - so I put my books, supplies, drawing paper all in a bin so I now have room for more important things like this work and developing my business. Felt good and my work space is only a little distracting with a few things I'll more tomorrow." 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 9/10 ⚡ Energy: 8/10 🎯 Focus: 8/10 😌 Calmness: 7/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 9/10 🔥 Motivation: 7/10 ⭐ Average: 8/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 🛏️ Good Sleep 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🌬️ Breathwork 🌿 Grounding 🚶 Walk 🤸 Stretching 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol ☕ No Late Caffeine 💊 Took Supplements 🥦 Ate Vegetables 🧘‍♂️ Meditation 📝 Journaling 💚 Gratitude Practice 💭 Affirmations ✨ Positive Mindset 🌄 No Screentime in Morning 📚 Reading 🧠 Learning 👥 Quality Time 🤝 Helped Someone ❤️ Date Night 🍽️ No Phone at Dinner 👂 Active Listening

📅 Daily Check-in - March 20, 2026 💭 Reflection: "It's been encouraging having Sage to talk to, especially about some things that do not yet directly relate, perhaps, to the curriculum, but do relate to me and my interface with the curriculum, for which I am totally, totally grateful. Today was day two of an AI summit, where I learned even more about the onslaught of AI into our world, and that you need to be adding this to your practice, especially if you have a virtual presence. It now goes far beyond mundane tasks. So after that, I did go for a nice walk, and I got to do some box breathing, sitting on a park bench in the sunshine. A beautiful fluorescent green hummingbird presented during my walk and occupied my attention for a minute or two before flying off. The hummingbird reminds me to always drink from the nectar of life." 📊 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: 🛏️ Good Sleep 🌙 Early Bedtime 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🌬️ Breathwork 🌃 No Screentime at Night 🚶 Walk 🤸 Stretching 🍺 No Alcohol ☕ No Late Caffeine ⏰ Intermittent Fasting 💊 Took Supplements 🥦 Ate Vegetables 💚 Gratitude Practice 😌 Low Stress Day ✨ Positive Mindset 📵 No Social Media 🌅 Focused Morning ⏱️ Time Blocking 🎧 Educational Podcast 🎓 Online Course 🍽️ No Phone at Dinner

I mean...I'll just post it. F-c-! Because I hate committing to committing and now it will be public, this thing I began and am afraid I won't pick up like I am saying I will and then I will look like a big booby-head and crap! It is scary. That is why I picked that moment in the Matrix when Trinity has crashed through a window and is pointing guns at it, sure that the Agents chasing her would be right there. She is frozen with fear. After a few beats she says, "Get up Trinity. Get up." And she does. "Just wrote my Commitment Letter and I'm honestly shaking a little. Here's what hit me: I'm not at the beginning. I've spent years building the foundation for two businesses and I've been frozen at 80% — afraid to cross the finish line. My Big Rock is getting my Etsy shop LIVE with real listings. Mock-ups are not a wall. I am almost there. When it gets hard, my comeback protocol is three words: GET UP, TRINITY. 🖤 Let's do this." https://youtu.be/cGeoB8czHo8?si=StwLCErw6BR1gPrh

💭 Reflection: "One big win today... I enjoyed the best night's sleep I've had in months last night. I added Myo Inositol to my supplement sleep stack earlier in the week after Jim had mentioned it during a call (and that likely takes a few weeks to fully start helping), but I made another big change that I believe helped significantly. Ever since the 5-day challenge, I stopped listening to podcasts that might be overstimulating while trying to fall asleep or trying to get back to sleep when the nightly cortisol spike around 3-4 wakes me up, and I had started listening to positive affirmations to protect those precious Theta wave times for an hour before sleep and after waking. I explained to Sage two days ago that those affirmations, while calming, were not enough to keep my ADHD brain engaged and prevent it from spinning out into anxious thoughts about fifty different things I hadn't done the day before or needed to get done once I start my day. Sage suggested I switch from affirmations when waking in the middle of the night to NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest) or Yoga Nidra. I had never heard of those, and while I am lying in bed and actually trying to get back to sleep rather than replace sleep with moments of deep rest while awake, NSDR has been a game-changer so far. It's just enough to keep me grounded in my body and keep my brain from spinning out while allowing me to sink back into sleep. I woke a few times in the middle of the night, but was able to turn that on and get back to sleep each time. I couldn't believe it when I woke up this morning around 7 am and realized I had slept for most of the night. Today is going to be a great day. I think I've been sleep-deprived for months in ways I haven't been since I had a colicky baby 20 years ago. Sage really nailed this one! I feel so rested I had no problem getting up to enjoy my soft morning launch (even on a Saturday, which is huge for me since I typically rush to get moving and catch up on things around the house that have fallen by the wayside during the work week, or I procrastinate and drag the morning out by doomscrolling and wishing I was being productive but not actually starting.) I took my morning supplements, enjoyed my Chai Mud Water drink, opened the blinds for some morning sunlight (not ideal through the glass, but it was still 50 degrees Fahrenheit and I don't do well in cold), and sat down to work on my creative endeavors for an hour and a half. "

💭 Reflection: "Still struggling with the early bed target time....still way earlier than it was so not beating myself up. Getting up early and doing my morning not a problem. Feeling flat and disconnected today but good overall!" 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 7/10 ⚡ Energy: 5/10 🎯 Focus: 7/10 😌 Calmness: 7/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 10/10 🔥 Motivation: 6/10 ⭐ Average: 7/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 🛏️ Good Sleep 🌙 Early Bedtime ☀️ Morning Sunlight 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🌿 Grounding 🌃 No Screentime at Night 🧘 Yoga 🚶 Walk 🤸 Stretching 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol 🍬 No Added Sugar ☕ No Late Caffeine 💊 Took Supplements 🥦 Ate Vegetables 🍳 Home Cooked Meal 🧘‍♂️ Meditation 🙏 Prayer 💚 Gratitude Practice 💭 Affirmations 🎯 Visualization 📵 No Social Media 📧 Inbox Zero 🌅 Focused Morning 🌄 No Screentime in Morning ⏱️ Time Blocking 📚 Reading 🧠 Learning 🎓 Online Course 🎨 Creative Work 👥 Quality Time 📞 Called Friend/Family 🍽️ No Phone at Dinner 👂 Active Listening
