I: Doing centering and grounding many times a day when I think of it or when I’m waiting.
Meditation and stretching every day
I feel like I’m getting into more of a habit with it and am willing to get up a little earlier in the mornings to make sure I have enough time to complete both stretching and meditation.
Got to take long walks along the beach every day while in Mexico, and also walked into town
numerous times, about 2 miles.
2: Listened to Chapter 6 of Gratitude Diaries
3: Read color pink, healthy and unhealthy.
This is what my AP read:
HEALTHY PINK:
Puffy pink cloud in the sky = carefree, floating
Little girl in white dress, playing by water = adventure, sense of newness
Unicorn = traveling
In a field, pink flowers in distance, maybe poppies = sweetness, lightness
Candy apple, seeing herself with dad = fun, excitement, youth, childhood
Cotton candy at a fair = fun
Early evening sunset, looking at a field = contentment
Family, little girl = unconditional love, feeling love, feeling safe
knowing she is loved without question
Horse = softness
Pillow = comfort
Pink rose quartz = love
UNHEALTHY PINK:
The word “dirty” = yukky
Mother & father yelling, doors slamming,
scared little girl, confused, feeling invisible = invisible
Little boy, AP’a brother, playing, but with sense of loss = loss
Burnt-looking sunset, smoggy-looking = pollution of atmosphere
Little girl playing w dolls by herself = loneliness, having to fend for herself
Having a BBQ, a holiday weekend = boredom, isolation
Beach on a cloudy day, walking along picking up seashells on the east coast = bored
Injured animal, a white horse lying down, a trickle of blood,
the horse is aborting its baby = sense of loss for the horse
(The unhealthy pink reading was 7 1/2 min. I forgot to check the stopwatch!)
