Monday Mark – 36.5 & 37.0


36.5 – For Last Week’s MM:

Every decision you make shapes who you have to live with tomorrow. Make sure you’re creating a person you like being with.

You’re going to be in a relationship with yourself for your entire life. So you should probably learn how to make it a good one.

Do you like spending time with yourself?

What’s one decision you can make today that will improve that relationship?

Do one thing today that the person you want to be tomorrow would be proud of. Reply and tell me what it was.

This one was really easy for me, because this is how I already move through my life. I’m not perfect, by any means, so I do my best to be the best version of myself. I consider other people’s feelings alongside my own and treat others how they want to be treated. I suppose I could treat myself better, but the struggle of merely existing is really difficult. All the same, maybe I could drink more water?!


37.0 – The Subtle Art of Giving Up

Two things for you to think about

“The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things.” – Rainer Maria Rilke

Underrated life skill: knowing when to give up.

Reflect: Then consider sharing this thought with others.


Two things for you to ask yourself

What are you still holding onto that you already know isn’t working?

What happens if you give it up?

Recommended: Use these as journaling prompts for the week.


One thing for you to try this week

Let go of one thing you’ve been refusing to give up on. Reply and tell me what that feels like.

Remember: Small changes lead to lasting breakthroughs.


As for how I’m doing… I’m preparing to go in for an overnight sleep study thing. I did the at-home test and the results were not great. Moderate obstructive sleep apnea. It was an entire clusterf*ck getting this appointment arranged between my doctor and the sleep center, but SURPRISE CALL TODAY and I’m filling an empty spot tonight. I know I have to do CPAP titration, but I thought that would just be some regular type of appointment. Guess not haha. Thankfully, The Boyfriend can drop me off and Mom can pick me up at the ass-crack of dawn tomorrow (630a).
