Day 56 (End of month review, 28/2/22)

I. Feel. So. Recharged.

Literally a weekend away from general life has been exactly what I needed. Not too much happened today on holiday,

We went for a breakfast and got pancakes and waffles… which were incredible. A side note, asking for ice cream in my pancakes I didn’t think I’d get a cornetto in them 😍😍

The drive home was smooth. And I got a lot of loosening off done after the travel, before swimming, and it went really well, the stress and focus I was putting in, was in the wrong place and now it’s easier to see!

Gym was good then a swim England meeting finished off the day. Still so so relaxed. Phone off before 10, I’ll do my full monthly review tomorrow, for now! It’s bedtime! 😁

Update from last night:

Forest app.

As I started with my New Years resolutions on the 3rd Jan, I've actually done about 28 days per month of forest app, so it's quite close to be able to compare.

This month, I have planted 263 trees (killing 6 :( ), equating to 134hrs 57mins of tree planting. This is very slightly less than last month, and I can understand why.

I have been slightly more up & down this month with my emotions, and when I'm struggling, I tend to rely on my phone more. However, this is still only slightly less time planting than last month and this is roughly 4hr 49mins per day.

I have accrued 3705 coins this month, so I have easily hit my coin target of 2500 to plant another real life tree, so 2nd month of my New Years resolution is complete. That also means I have 1200 coins to spend on a new tree in game (it's sad how into this I get but it helps my focus :'D).

Screen time

This is where I'm staying pretty solid, but the first week in Feb was a rough one, and the first week I averaged above 6hrs screen time. After giving myself a talking to after this I'm happy to say it was just a blip, and I have stayed solid between 5&6hrs. I want to get it lower, but also some days I have needed to use my phone to help with my business etc.

All in all, I feel more in touch with reality slowly (:'D ), but still, I'm human and I'm still taking time where I'm staying at the same time, but I also look at what I have accomplished from the month.

I have started and launched a business, that I am proud of. I am learning to be more patient with myself, learning more about my swimming, and learning that taking a break is sometimes the healthiest thing you can do.

More to come in terms of photos when I have more time, hopefully! But we're getting there :D
