Getting overwhelmed by all new plans

This is such an embarrassing blog post but actually my blog post is the best tool for my memory. So here I am. Withstanding all the time, changes and seasons. Lots is going on and I am going home tomorrow. Going home can actually make things even more overwhelming and a slightly different setting can actually be a chance to take stock of everything that is going on.

New journals 

• I got a new journal with stars on it for Christmas and I am gonna use it for tracking my meditation practice - I just finished my old one today. I also do use other journals here and there when I run out of the fancy ones
• I got a new navy blue moleskine planner for work - I will put in my appointments and things as well as an overview of each week
• I naughtily caved and ordered a moon planner - I will use it to track the seasons and the changes of the moon and to write down an overview of my meditation practice and/or this Tibetan healing video that I watch sometimes
• I got a brown journal for Christmas and I am using it to track my January plans - some special teas and hot chocolates I am pacing to help support me through a tight month (like the rest of us), the amazing new tv coming out in January, my meditation practice, my dance classes (God I feel like a lucky girl, I feel like the luckiest girl to be alive with all of this meditation and dance that I get to do!), as well as some healing activities and treats that I have planned for January like the hairdresser, a couple of massages and some healing modalities that I am wrapping up externally
• This is not a notebook but I am also excited for all the tv coming out in January as mentioned above - beast games, traitors, the apprentice, the celebrity apprentice - it is almost too exciting - I don’t watch much tv and I only watch it if I really love it - both of my favourite series dropping in one month is almost too exciting for me to handle
• I also got a new purple journal as a cheeky extra Christmas treat and I will use that to track my new course that I am doing in March. I got a scholarship and I will pay for it next month. It is a meditation style course that is part of a Buddhist centre in Colorado. That is really exciting. I am looking forward to starting that when it comes around 

I have to check my buses to the station tomorrow

I have some new years plans and early new years dance plans and as usual I think I have overdone everything 

As January will be a tight month I have to do lots of cooking and food prep and make sure I have enough food to take to work etc - the temptation to work from home a bit is also there for various reasons I can’t quite describe but unless I am very tired or ill then working from home can take its toll on my mental health

I think January is always tough for everyone but here’s hoping I can make it a lovely and productive month
