Learn Something New Every Day - Day 3

Day 3 arrives and I decided to begin creating before I knew what the prompt was - so determined am I not to fall behind - I want to get to the end of September and still be up to date and not rushing to finish or playing catch ups well into October.
Prompt 3: What can you learn from your own two feet?

One step at a time.... stay grounded....

These 2 thoughts immediately came to me when I considered this prompt and the follow up idea of what is your own personal 'moving forward?'

I tend to rush movement wise, doing lots of tasks in a somewhat disjointed fashion, flitting from one to the other..... usually via my feet... I live and work in the same space and so from bedroom to kitchen to office to kitchen to garage to laundry to office to outside back inside - these cycles repeat many many times throughout my normal day....

I have begun a very much beginners exercise regime - it's been almost one week now of exercise biking and treadmilling for 30-40mins each day - not a very lengthy or difficult regime but one that is necessary as I continue to recover from 2 major surgeries - one planned in April earlier this year and another, emergency this time as a complication of the first, in June. Extensive abdominal surgerys so I have very little core strength but am determined to return to some level of fitness in a medically approved manner.... once stronger I can move onto a more demanding exercise program.

I am very interested in reflexology, I do not have attractive feet size 10.5 with a wide fitting to boot (pun intended lol) and I very rarely go barefoot even indoors.

So my thoughts translate into slowing down, one step at a time.... and to stay grounded by not allowing my tendencies to flit everywhere be the undoing of my concentration and completing tasks. And to be sensible and not be too impatient with improving fitness and stamina.

Here is the layout I 90% completed before knowing what the days prompt was -

Funnily enough these pages had many 'steps' to them papers going down first, then paint daubers, then paint via a brush followed by labels and washi tape and more paint, buttons, letters more paint daubers and even after I took these photos I added a few more 'steps' with more washi tape and label stickers.

  1. Creating foundations for pages is something I do too.

    I like the stay grounded - a useful reminder!
