What Is Your Goal To Achieve For Today?

Not so much a goal but an experience for me today:

Right now walking out the door to enjoy the yard and/or any reasonably simple yard work I might find. I’m likely going to flit about the house afterwards to tackle whatever seems like the next right thing to do. Ideally I’ll also get back to a book I’m listening to / reading.

I do have a goal after all. It’s to loosen, shake or perhaps numb the pain all about my shoulders; upper spine; lower back.
 
I have done well for myself today:

meditated @ 3 am
meditated @ 9 am
laid in sun for 30 min (last 3 days)
showered
completed a household project
making a nice meal now
will meditate @ 1:30 pm
after eating I have a Seahawk preseason NFL game to get lost in..oh yeah!
 
Peace in my decision that for today (this one day) I am not going to wrack my brains trying to figure out my life. Not going to send out resumes. Not going to look for jobs. Not going to work on my website. Absolutely not going to worry and stress about impending horrible things happening to me.

Then I have to figure out if I am not doing the above - lol - what am I going to do.

First day since January I have taken off. No idea why I have such a hard time justifying that to myself.
 
To actively use the self-care tools I have within my reach to enrich the quality of my own life rather than continuing to actively drive myself even more insane trying to figure out how to best help everyone else.

Things become even more complicated and heart-wrenching when you've had to totally and drastically redefine, via repeated painful experiences, what effective and healthy help means in your own world, as it differs greatly from the conditioned definitions of the ones you're trying to help.

The complications never cease, it seems, no matter how well I try to keep up with my own inner workings and such. Must keep looking for the beauty and grace that surrounds. I think I can, I think I can.....
