Mindful Monday is a tradition where we take a few minutes to reflect on the week gone by and the one ahead.
Feel free to join in the fun by commenting!
So here’s what I’m being mindful about this week…
What Are You Grateful For This Week?
- Having an Unplugged Week-end: Or as Goddess Leonie would call it, having a switched off Sunday. I didn’t turn on my computer at all this week-end and it felt oh so good! Not checking my email took a lot of self-control, but it was also very liberating. And knowing that everyone who emailed me would be fine if I didn’t reply within a few hours was great too.
- My live class more than half full: I’m really grateful at how quickly my live raw food class is filling up. We’ve only got 4 more spots left and I’m so excited to be meeting all the wonderful people who have signed up! Click here to see if one of these spots are for you.
- Playing Card Games and Board Games: On the week-end I played card games and Settlers of Catan with my boyfriend and our friends. I even won a few times! In line with my Virgo-ness I try to “play to win” or at least play to not look like an idiot. But this week-end I really didn’t care if I won or not, and it was really fun. Not to mention that I learned some new Chinese words in the process.
What Are Your Intentions for the Coming Week?
- Setting Time Aside for Writing: I’ve got lots of ideas, as usual, and sitting down to write them out is my next step. These may end up as articles for this blog, as guest posts, or articles for The Cue.
- Reining in my thoughts and picking a name: I’m working on my Next Project and the name keeps escaping me. I tinker with the potential name for a day or two. Then a week goes by and I still haven’t settled it. This week I’m picking a name and making some stuff happen on that project!
- Promoting my Bewitch Your Spouse eCourse: Getting along with a partner who isn’t raw is one of the questions I get asked the most. Usually people bring it up in private, as if there was something wrong with them for not being able to go raw with a reluctant spouse. Trust me when I say it’s a lot more common than you think! I’ve been there and I plan to share my experience and know-how with anyone who needs help with their spouse or partner.
What Do You Leave for the Universe to Figure Out?
Last week I read Jen’s post on Inspired Home Office about delegating to God or the Universe, whichever works for you. I love the concept and decided to give it a try this week on Mindful Monday!
- Finding a Place for my Friend: A good friend of mine has recently relocated to Toronto and is looking for an apartment. She’s been staying at my place for the past week and sleeping on our inflated mattress. :) I’m letting the Universe find and secure her a great place to live!
- Getting images for a Dreamboard: I’m attending Jamie Ridler’s dreamboard circle this Sunday and am letting the Universe bring me the images I need to create it.
- Finishing the Month with Flying Colors: I’m letting the Universe align me with all the right people who need my work in the form of 1 on 1 coaching clients starting in February.
Your Turn!
Let me know what you’re grateful for, and your intentions are, and what you’re delegating to the Universe this week. Leave a comment below!

I like mindful Mondays. It's like the Sabbath. Without the Sabbath, all the days would be like one another. The Sabbath allows differentiation.
I was able to organize my office, although more work is needed. I'm grateful that I got a good start on it.
I'm minding my business and some new people/connections came into my life. I trust and rely that God will continue to bring people to me and me to them.
I gave a demonstration and have more lined up.
I began the process to evict tenants who have not paid rent since August. They promised to leave mid-November, then January 1. So I'll let the courts move them along, since I can't trust their word or deeds. I truly dislike having to flex my landlord muscles. However, I can't pay the mortgage without this rent! If I lose this apartment, then other people will be displaced along with them.
For the coming week, I need to distribute flyers about the demonstrations and promote my business. I also need to meet at least 2 new people each day and tell them about alkaline water.
Personally, I must exercise vigorously at least twice this week. Three times would be ideal.
You're so right! Without a day to pause, every day is the same.
It sounds like you're taking some serious action that needed to be taken. I understand the landlord perspective just as much as the renter's side and I think it's a fair move on your part!
I'm sending you lots of good thoughts & people who need to hear about alkaline water. :)
Nathalie,
I loved how you described board games and card games in your “Virgo-ness”!!! Ha!!! Too fun!
I am grateful for my health, as I think about all the running around I will be doing over the next month, and how being healthy really makes this so much easier.
I intend to take some time just for myself. In fact, I have a day planned this week Thursday, which I'm really looking forward to!
To the universe, I leave that everything will come together as it needs to for a basketball tournament I am running in mid-February. Whew…usually stressful, but this year I'm just trying to go with the flow…
Hi Lance!
Yeah it's pretty funny sometimes what comes up. ;) Way to go on taking time for yourself, you deserve it! And it sounds like your basketball tournament will go smoothly.. I know it. :)
Have an awesome week!
I am grateful for this moment and the time I have with my wife. I am grateful that my faith keeps me going – no matter what.
Aww that's just so beautiful Alex. Thanks for sharing!
