What's in a name?

According to my Apple dictionary, admittedly not a definitive source, a ‘consideration’ is a thought, reflection, meditation, concern, rumination etc. I would like this blog to do those things. I’m hoping I can keep the posts positive because, as someone once reminded me, it is important to practise the habits of mind that you value and want to foster. For me those are: positivity, curiosity, openness and self-reflection (hence, a blog is a good forum).


Also, I’m calling them 'small' because I would like to try to get into the habit of blogging briefly but often. That way I can reflect on everyday occurrences and make this form of writing and thinking a habit, hopefully.

Self-administered Yoga (24/100)

Tonight at dinner I was feeling weighed down and unsatisfied with weekend lethargy. It felt like I'd wasted the whole day, which was not really true, but that's the attitude my mind had adopted. I did some good critiquing and writing this morning; I had lunch with a friend; but then I came home and read and napped on the couch by the fire.
I don't know to what degree my lethargy was caused by being tired and needing recuperation or whether it was a symptom of not doing anything active. Therefore, after dinner, before we watch a movie, I took myself into the bedroom and did some yoga. I feel more awake now and like I've done something worthwhile. I even accomplished something that I wasn't sure I could do: the plank for two minutes. My friend had been on a two-minute plank challenge a while ago and I always wondered how long I could last. She started at just under a minute and got to almost two minutes of holding the position before the month-long challenge ended. She seems like a fairly strong, fit person so I figured I wouldn't be able to match her starting time, let alone get to two minutes. But I did! I might try to add that to my daily routine like my friend did and see how long I can stretch the time to.
