Day 28: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

Today I woke up a little late, my mind foggy, and my sinuses wobbly. I have a slight cold, which sucks.  I finished my meditation in thirty minutes. I concentrated on getting editing done. I also thought a bit about writing because I need to get into the habit of editing AND writing every writing office day, and that has been one of my downfalls. I usually focus on one or the other for the day. Not both. It’s something I’ll be working on in 2018. Being able to manage both in a day’s time will...

Day 27: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

It was another busy day at the office and I knew it would be, so I started my morning with a meditation focusing on all the things I needed to get done today. It didn’t help that yesterday my carpel tunnel was acting up so I put on my braces last night. Wore them most of the morning, too. Can’t wear them to do certain things. Typing is exceedingly difficult with the braces on. But the braces help ease the pain and help the flare-ups go down.

So I did get a lot done. I’m pleased with that. I d...

Day 26: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

Today I spent my thirty minutes of morning meditation concentrating on getting my massive payroll done. I imagined, in painful detail, doing the payroll. What a way to start the morning. LOL I did relatively well, all things considered (with a lot of help from co-workers). I stopped taking calls from customers at 10am when it became clear if I kept taking the calls I’d get nothing else done.

I managed to finish the payroll and get out of the office by a quarter after six. Got home and got wit...

Day 25: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

This morning I did my thirty-minute meditation with the theme – Relax. The hope was to have an easy going day despite cooking xmas dinner for my parents. I made it easy so it was really about warming up the ham, doing yams in the crockpot, and a quick fresh green bean casserole. Very simple and fun.

Everyone ate a lot and I had a fun time hanging out with my parents. So I would say, mission accomplished. I still have some cleanup to do, but I wanted to get my winners for my Holiday Giveaway c...

Day 24: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

I spent thirty minutes this morning concentrating on finishing up some formatting and enjoying the rest of my day after that.

Then I went and made the traditional xmas eve cinnamon rolls for breakfast and had some coffee. I had a meeting for the podcast at noon, then the coffee maker died. Luckily we keep a spare drip maker in the basement. Then this afternoon my brother-in-law stopped by to pick up gifts for my sister’s family. They’re all sick this weekend with colds and the flu, unfortunat...

Day 23: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

I did my thirty minutes of meditation this morning – mostly focusing on getting the house ready for my parents’ on the 25th.  It was a busy day today. I spent the afternoon at my brother’s for our annual holiday gift exchange, then we came home and cleaned up. We didn’t finish until after 11PM.  The sad truth is M and I are both creatives and while we keep the kitchen and bathrooms relatively clean, the rest of the house sometimes faces neglect a month at a time. So when we clean, it’s a 4-6...

Day 22: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

I did my 30 minute meditation this morning but my heart wasn’t really into it because I knew ahead of time today wasn’t about productivity. Not really.  Did get enough done at the office that I was satisfied with the work I did. I probably could have done more.

Today was a hard day because I wanted to do creative things and wrap yule gifts. You know how it goes. The grind of the p/t day job looms.  Then I had beer with some co-workers, and then M and I went to our friends’ house for a little...

Day 21: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

Woo! What a fantastic day! I’m feeling energized and excited. Tonight’s before bed meditation will be to help me wind down so I can sleep. LOL

I started out the morning by doing my thirty-minute meditation and was thrilled when, by the end of the meditation, I felt ready to get to work. Could it be that with Mercury Retrograde winding down I’m finally seeing the full effects of this model configuration? I’m looking forward to seeing more…

Today’s Results: I actually finished Daemonic Prosperi...

Day 20: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

Did my 30 minutes mediation this morning and then rushed to work. I concentrated on getting the office squared away and going grocery shopping tonight. These are the things that have to be done that, if I were single, I’d just say screw the groceries and go with an empty refrigerator until I could be bothered to shop. LOL  My husband is probably good for me because he keeps me grounded and reminds me that we still have to clean the house and eat once in awhile.   Back when I was single, I’d c...
