Daily Check in

HA! self discipline.  PAH.  am not very good at it! BUT on the other hand - lets be positive.  Let me not say that.  Say, I am getting better at self discipline.

I did get up early today and do yoga.  How self disciplined is that! YES.  (fist pump!)

And - here i am doing my daily check in thing.  YES

Yesterday I went to Kings College and saw some lovely folk who are working really hard on managing their work flow better.  I found a really cool book by Cyril someone in a rather overly attractive stationary store that had lots of planners in it.  Kiki (?) The book was called Work Smarter: Live Better and it appealed  - not only because it had been attractively designed - but also because it is EXACTLY what I do professionally.  SO interesting.  I have never really seen anyone else who does exactly the same thing.  I lie - there is Productivity Ninja - that is similar.  But mine is more about How to Have a GOOD day at work and live better.  And there is a book called How to have a Good Day at work.  or is it just how to have a good day???  Anyways, this one, - its pretty much exactly, though he also gets people to whittle down their ACTUAL filing systems and I only cover that in email.  And in email I am even more brutal than he is.

So its really interesting seeing how he positions himself.  He says his mission is to change lives.  Which is really cool.  As everyone wants to leave the world having made a positive difference in peoples's lives. Well I do.  And this  book is really giving me confidence that I can and do!    So that was good.

I also got really positive feedback from the last Prioritisation group I lead.  And these were very senior people.  I totally and utterly enjoyed it too, as we had a fabulous discussion - touching on very esoteric notions about purpose and human behaviours.  So feeling very proud  To be honest I was already feeling proud about that session.  It was the first time I really went off script.  That is, I saw the forms that they had filled in and decided from that, to do what I thought would work best.  And so getting good feedback meant that I had made a good call.

I am feeling very good because the Wild Art Journaling course I am running starting on Friday is going ahead.  Last Friday it was nearly being cancelled because only 3 people were signed up.  We needed 6 as a minimum.  I nearly went all fatalistic about it, almost giving up.  But I decided to WERK it and really do my best to promote it over the weekend. And reach out to everyone I knew and ask them directly.  And it worked.  We are going ahead on Friday and I am so happy.

I have a new client.  A theatre group where a friend of mine is working.  I am very excited by that too.

On Monday I did a social media course and learned some stuff that is actually quite simple and I am going to put into practice.

Today things are feeling very good.

Things that I can improve on are
Doing Navasana every day - this is on my list and despite it taking less than 60 seconds I am avoiding it.  Come on Moyra!
Scheduling my time  - specifically so that I limit my social media and make it more effective.
Making sure I get to my weekly coaching calls.
Sorting out the back room and floor and garden still needs doing.
Writing to Jane and Richard to thank them for lending us their house in Cornwall.
Sending gifts to my folks.
