Reverb 13 Checkin

---

It’s been six months since Reverb13 finished. You likely made some promises to yourself through your blog entries and it’s time to check in and acknowledge your accomplishments, hold yourself accountable, or change direction so that 2014 is an amazing year. Look back at your Reverb13 entries and think about these questions. Reflect with words, images, or whatever works for you! 1. Choices: If you chose one, how are you honoring your word for 2014… or do you want to change it (feel free to pick a new word now!)?

I chose a new word..perseverance
2. Habits: How are you managing your habits? Are you still battling addictions, eliminating the negativity and turning-off auto-pilot? Have you added any new good habits?

I have not eliminated any bad habits the first half of 2014. In fact, my diet and drinking were worse with the stress level. Now that Alice is home, the husband's health is better, I am feeling far less stressed. I am back to eating much better and am actually trying to stick to Weight Watchers! 3. Priorities: Describe a single moment where you practiced self-compassion over the last six months. What did you do and why?

I really hate the term self-compassion. Let me reframe it in terms I get: Describe a single moment where you did not beat yourself up over something?
This is a toughie. I guess probably where I bailed on some runs in June because I just didn't feel like doing them. I had no races/goals on the calendar, and just wanted to go home rather than run. 4. Living: Show us your best memory to date. How can you make more of them just like that this year?
Best memory of 2014? I think it would have to be just arriving in Silverton, walking down the street with Gombu. I looked up at the mountains and just sighed. So happy to be back there. He understood, too.
5. Dreaming: If we could grant you one wish that would ultimately make 2014 your best year ever, what would it be?

Alice's foot would be completely healed up, and she would be romping and stomping all over the Estate.
