Oh my. Okay, housekeeping. I’m improving. I don’t have to love it.
I don’t hate it, but it does bring out the procrastinator of me.
I’m doing pretty well on self love, could tend to self care a bit.
Doing pretty well on staying conscious.
Could tend to remembering to be grateful.
Sending love to all.
I don’t find myself willing to answer this question. I’m weary today and a “to do” list does not appeal to me. Look forward to reading what others have to say.
I need to tend to my overall daily schedule and be more mindful of the hours in a day. I get overwhelmed easily, and I feel like it is just easier not to do anything at all. I have a long to-do list with school starting this week that also needs tending to.
Thank you,
dear Jaycie,
for bringing this up . . .
many of us become overwhelmed.
What often works for me
is to break a task down . . .
Instead of writing ‘clean kitchen’ on my list
I write,
1. ‘scrape and pile up dirty dishes
2. wash dishes
3. dry dishes
4. put dishes away
5. wipe down counter
6. sweep the floor’
. . . baby steps. ♥
I think I know how you feel, Jaycie.
I get very overwhelmed too, and it makes me want to shut down.
For me, it helps to just start with doing a little.
I don’t go into the kitchen to clean it.
I just sort the dirty dishes, then I sit down.
A bit later, I will wash the dishes and then I can stop again.
Often once I start washing, I can keep going until I finish in the kitchen.
For me, starting is the hardest part.
I do better with a very short to-do list.
It also helps me to listen to a podcast while I do a chore.
Sending love, and wishing you well.
A few suggestions, if I may…
Try taking baby steps.
Treat yourself well,
and speak to yourself kindly.

I need to get back to weight training and workouts in the gym ! I miss the gym! It’s been a long summer vacation and I really want to get back to my routine.
I need to tend to my sleep schedule. I go to bed way too late & spend too much time on the internet before I finally turn the lights off.
I get so engaged in reading or listening to interviews that it’s hard for me to turn it off.
I need to make going to sleep earlier a priority.
Like so many things in life I must make it my intention & commit to it. I need to get serious.
Have a blessed Sunday All.

My yard, which needs some weeding and then compost and clover seed in place of the false dandelion and burdock.
My garden, which I think is ready for a bit of potato harvest, and some herbs definitely need to be cut and dried for winter use.
My will and powers of attorney forms, which I promised myself I would finish updating this month.
Preparations for a big trip to the UK with my siblings at the end of September and beginning of October.
And honestly, I’m way overdue on cleaning the refrigerator!
My physical form needs tending. More regular exercise is needed and my actual garden needs tending. These things require carving out time and
time is a precious and limited commodity. But it can be done with planning and intention.
I’d say the Japanese soy sauce I bought to make marinated eggs, and the instant yeast that’s waiting for me to bake some Vietnamese bread (Bánh Mì). I’d better try making them before the new school year starts. I’ll be pretty busy. Happy Sunday, everyone!
I’ve not tended to responding here daily. The other simple task needing tending is fresh produce from farmer’s market that needs to be washed and cooked up! Enjoy this new day🦋☀️
I need to be, at times, more responsible towards my inner child and my eartly responsibilities. I need to tend to my connection with g-d, and balance it. I need to be loyal to my body – though i am getting better at it, BH. and as always, tend to help and aid others.
I have been wanting to tend to my workout routine. I walk every day and do a lot of yoga, but I’ve been wanting some cardio and weights back in my life, and I just don’t have the motivation to do it alone at home like I did when covid forced us to stay home. My husband has a gym membership and invited me to go with him, but I wasn’t feeling it. After starting a new yoga class at a fitness center this past week, I found out they also offer a free membership to their teachers, which was a nice surprise considering the gyms I’ve interviewed with offer zero benefits. This fitness center doesn’t feel like an LA Fitness or Golds Gym. It’s attached to a church, really nice and clean, and filled with a lot of friendly retirees from the neighborhood it’s in. Younger people go there as well, but it’s not filled with a bunch of 20-somethings in tight clothing or muscle-head dudes. Much more my speed, and I don’t have to spend any money! Now to add to my routine 🙂

I need to tend to my mental health. Working with a therapist, I have been opening my life to others and it scares me big time.
Good for you, Christina.
We all need to tend to it.
It’s part of self care.

I felt that way yesterday as well,
dear Carol Ann.
There’s nothing wrong with that. 🙂
When you are weary,
just be very good to yourself,
just as you would be to a loved one.
You are certainly deserving.
Sending love your way, Carol Ann.
Mary, Thank you.

I am working on that too, PKR.
That’s a big one for me.
Thank you! ♥️
PkR! I second that! I need to go to bed earlier too!

I tried baking Bánh Mì once, Ngoc, and I want to try again. I didn’t get the shape quite right but it was delicious!
My Ngoc, those marinated eggs remind me of Kyuramen.
I’ve not tended to responding here daily. The other simple task needing tending is fresh produce from farmer’s market that needs to be washed and cooked up! Enjoy this new day🦋☀️
My body: I need rest. My home: declutter.
I hope you are being extra kind to yourself, Drea.
You have been through so much.
Sending love and care.
Thank you so much Mary. Working on being extra kind, thank you.
You truly deserve it.
I’ve been tending to every area of my life that needs tending. It’s just a matter of continuing to do it even more.
My life will always need physical, emotional, and spiritual tending on a daily basis.
Wishing all a peaceful Sunday.
