Mindful Monday : Tackle One Task At A Time | IAAC Year 2

avatar

I must admit that a lot has changed over the past two years. I used to rush from one task to another. I was even once tagged as an energizer bunny that just kept on going. True enough I pushed myself to the limit most times, until we lost Mom. I no longer have the extra energy to keep pushing. I'm finally learning to slow down, something Mom had been telling me. Plus, I'm also not as strong esp when osteoarthritis set in. Ugh! Luckily, I have quite a high tolerance for pain. Still, I need to tackle one task at a time and factor in rest in between tasks. If I don't, I won't last long and finish my daily chores. Then, I'd be more frustrated 'coz I wouldn't feel productive. 😂🤣 most times I just try to laugh it off. I prefer that to crying out in frustration. I try to take it one day at a time.



I've been waiting to book a collection by Humble Sustainability, an organization that helps declutter homes and offices. It aims to collect items that folks no longer use. These items are then reused, recycled or upcycled. I am so glad that I learned about them. We have been packing Mom's stuff as well as stuff we no longer need or use. I received notice that I could be booked for October 30th pickup schedule. I'm awaiting confirmation as of the moment. But I need to rush packing more items to give away. I welcome the chance to have more free space in the flat.

It's another rainy Monday as a tropical depression entered the country. I'm glad to be working from home. Plus, my plants are happy whenever it rains. It also saves me gardening time and I could prep dinner earlier. Can you guess what's for dinner? 🤓🤓 if you guessed fish fillet, you are correct!

It's getting late. I need to turn in now, as there's day work in the morning. Here's a feel good cat photo.



I spy three kitties lounging near my work desk : Bon, Kuai, Nian. 😸😸 that's the cane I use these days when I walk around. It helps me walk faster. You know what's ironic? I bought that for Mom, but she didn't like using it. Turned out I'm the one using it now. 😂🤣 joke's on me after all. #suchislife oh well...

I am happy that you have a cane you can use on hand we you need it. It is no fun having to use a cane or walker to get around. If it helps you get from place to place without hurting yourself then it is good. Your cats look great and very happy. Take care of yourself. It is not such a bad thing to slow down as we get older.

Alas slowing down seems to be my best option. And yes, I use the cane as it helps a lot to lessen the pain when I walk around. It's a bit slow as I could only use one hand esp when I'm doing gardening.

I'm happy the cats are happy.. They're all growing, so is their appetite.😹😹

We have done alot of downsizing recently. Finally finished the move to live here with my Dad in the house where I grew up. I have been finding it easier to part with things that I haven't used in ages. The donation center here in town made a serious haul already. Yes, it is important to slow down, chill out and relax and not just rush from one thing to the next. Although I have to admit that last week I had gotten really impatient and wanted to just get the move done already. It took a long time. But now it is done and I can slow down and settle in to work online. Take Care of you!

So good to hear you've settled in. I can imagine how tough moving could get. Decluttering, however, has its perks. It sparks joy in me to see wide open spaces in the flat. Plus, it's easier to clean. 😉👍🏼

Take care too!

Thank you, Rosyel! Those are definitely some big perks from decluttering. My husband and I have a different opinion from my Dad. He likes alot of decorating all around him. So, we are working on compromising. Other than that it's going pretty well living at home again. LOL Have a great weekend!
