Week Note Sixteen - Brain Found!
Better, better, better
After the downtime mentioned in last week's weeknote 15, it was refreshing to return to work and get back into the swings of things at a pace that being set by myself. Paying attention to the first three rules are:
- Am I rushing / jumping / typing too fast?
- Am I understanding the task? Did I 'over read' it?
- Am I okay? Are you processing everything rationally?
The training wheels are still on and no doubt it will continue to stay on for a week or so in order to form the new habits. It has been a lifetime skill to continuously keeping up with everything, it's okay if we are behind a bit of a way because we are paying attention to the upmost situation that we care deeply about.
After all, like the title of this segment. It's all about being better, better, better.

Should we be resolving important issues on our home planet, Earth? The answer is that we cannot hold ourselves back as it will take a bold revolution to move forward.
