272 days. Stay focused.

Slept in until 9a. Woke up thinking about systems and how they work in my life. Went straight to the bookshelf and pulled out 2 books that I enjoy when it comes to systems thinking:

• The Systems Mindset by Sam Carpenter
• Thinking in Systems by Donella H. Meadows

I have these books highlighted and dog-eared. I feel a mini-essay on Systems Thinking is about to happen.

Slept great last night. Full 8 hours.

There’s something new, different, and special about how time is working in my world. I’ve been feeling it on my runs. I felt it on one hour drive I made yesterday. I felt it when I got home last night and decided to clean the kitchen, do some laundry, and make some fresh juice.

I’ve felt it all week with what I’ve been able to get done, without force.

I’m running the systems that I’ve intentionally developed in my life.

My scorecard is lit up in a beautiful way for what I said I wanted to get accomplished last week and what I actually got accomplished. It’s was a powerful and productive week, without force.

That makes time feel… more special.

I write daily because I have healthy identity as a writer.

I’m progressing toward running daily because I have a healthy identity as a runner.

I’m growing with how I treat money because I’m building a healthy identity with how money works in my life.

• money is source of great joy and creativity

I run all things through the filter of LOVE because I have a healthy identity with myself and I am love. It starts with me.

I’m grateful for THIS Sunday. This is when I get to take the time to manage the systems of my life and be sure they are set to run efficiently for the upcoming week. When put together with intention, and corrected over time, systems have the ability to self-correct in a valuable way when challenges, obstacles, and any kind of resistance shows up.

The different minds we have:

• The Peaceful Mind
• The Assumptive Mind
• The Storytelling Mind
• The Creative Mind
  • Flow state

I’m thinking they all fall under either:

• Conscious Mind, or
• Unconscious Mind

I’ll write a mini-essay on the many minds, which is really one mind with many systems called a mindSET. Interesting.

I have found a natural flow with content creation. It’s not forced.

3 miles of interval running today. Not planned. A spontaneous effort to both connect with the Queen, and hold her accountable.
