🏹 Anya's Tuesday Shift Commitment — June 9-16

💡 WIN / LESSONS LEARNED

I will start doing my shift posts on Tuesdays now because it flows with my pregnancy schedule (new week starting Wednesdays).

It has been quite intense 2 weeks and I did not check in or set a new goal last week, but I will just pick up where I left off. I was able to reach my good goal on most days. I finished work around 6-7 pm, shifting it closer to 6 pm. My average bedtime remains 11:40, but I am grateful for days when I get to bed around 10 pm. I did a JournalSpeak session and in addition to it have been doing IFS sessions with my therapist that have been very complimentary. I have been present for most of kick counting these last two weeks and learned quite a lot about my daughter's personality. I have been able to do daily mindset shift ritual. The only thing that I was not able to do is a nesting/play activity.

A: Focus: B: DEFINE IT -> Focus on building mindfullness, presence, and mindset for resting

Systemic shift: Continue prioritizing 9-10 pm bedtime.

Journaling/reflection: Reflect and upgrade my productivity mindset and time management skills focusing on 3 areas I want to prioritize in the next 6 weeks and what I will fail at (inspired by the book "Four Thousand Weeks" by Oliver Burkeman).

Somatic expansion exercise: The STOP skill (https://cogbtherapy.com/mindfulness-meditation-blog/mindfulness-stop-skill).

The nesting activity: Continue working on finishing the time capsule and packing the hospital bag.

Mindset shift: "Rest, unstructured play, and hobbies are high-priority medical and emotional necessities, not a "selfish luxury." I do not owe a utility fee to exist. Taking time to step away from productivity builds the relational battery required to heal my system and nourish my family."

C: GOOD / BETTER / BEST VERSION

GOOD: 6:00 PM Work-Stop and the 10:00 PM bedtime routine + 1 Journal+ Do the STOP skill/mindset shift once a day before I do any activity after having breakfast

BETTER: 5:00 PM Work-Stop and the 9:00 PM bedtime routine + 1 Journal + Do the STOP skill/mindset shift twice a day - at the beginning and end of day + finish nesting activity.

BEST: All of the above + Do the STOP skill/ mindset shift in the beginning, middle, end of day.

ONE SMALL STEP TO MAKE IT EASIER

I will use Micro-Momentum Anchoring: Right after my breakfast STOP skill and mindset ritual, I will drop/label exactly one item into the hospital bag or spend exactly 15 minutes on the time capsule.

Other things I am tracking:

Weight: 1.2 kg in 2 weeks
