I set out to finish the editing today — this round at least — before any extra edits come up. I did my best to sort out the ant issue, vacuuming them up as they keep showing at the base of the bed.
I also went through the book as Sarah asked. It’s good to begin reviewing it each day, even while wrapping up the course. Stepping into a new project before the last one fully ends helps me stay steady.
I did an insanity workout — 45 minutes. Tough, but I like earning my breakfast. It tires me, but it’s worth it.
Afterwards, I went to Animals Café to continue working. Had a call with my therapist — not for deep therapy, but more just checking in. She’s known me for a year now, and saw me through the ending of the marriage. She reminded me that I’m here — doing it. That even with my low tolerance for discomfort, I’m still in it. I brought up Steve Jobs. He wasn’t known for being the kindest person, but it’s that same refusal to tolerate mediocrity that pushed him to create. Maybe I share some of that edge — and maybe that edge is what’s pushing this forward.
I started wiring the Kajabi course to the community space so people can feel supported throughout. No clear plan, just following the build as it unfolds.
Rushed home before the power cut, made mung bean muffins. Then headed to my friends’ place at the Hoo Temple for the evening. Shared a simple meal, played my flute, and stayed later than I usually would. It was light. Nourishing. They said I ride a magic carpet.
Meditation before bed. Another day inside the Great Work.
Reflection Questions
🛡 Where did I hold my boundary?
I held my boundary by staying with the build — not rushing the editing, not skipping the book review, and still making space to check in with my therapist. I also honoured myself by taking the evening to be with friends without abandoning the work.
🌱 What energy or intention did I move forward, no matter how small?
The intention to complete. The editing. The reconnection with the book. The Kajabi–community integration. It all moved forward, even quietly.
🌀 What didn’t need fixing?
The ants. The discomfort. The way things are in Sri Lanka. Nothing needed fixing — just navigating.
✨ What surprised me today?
That even after the long day and full workload, I still had energy to be present at the Hoo Temple — to play the flute, to laugh, to share a meal. That felt like grace.
🤲 What did I offer or receive in service today?
I offered presence — to the work, to my therapist, to my friends, and to myself. I received companionship, feedback, and a moment of lightness.
👁 What did I witness within myself or another today?
I witnessed my own discipline taking root — not from force, but from trust. I saw myself choosing to keep going, choosing to stay here, because something greater is unfolding through this path.
