3. TODAY’S SELF-OBSERVATION
It's a time for holding my nerve and pursuing my intentions and disciplines in the face of uncertainty. Weight is an issue that is concerning me, not from a health or self-esteem viewpoint - I'm quite happy and healthy in fact - but simply as a matter of professional credibility. I'm not that huge but I have let weight creep back on over the last couple of years, mainly due to being home-based. I have made some tentative first steps, resuming T'ai Chi and Yoga, but I need to do more - working on it!
