Life's Little Victories

It’s definitely a challenge. I have to try hard to stay focused inward and breathe cause the heat is intense and we are doing vinyasa flow so it’s fast paced on top of it. I feel so energized and renewed afterwards though so it’s worth it!

Luv Luv hot 🥵 yoga!! Soooo wonderful!

Hello

Hello

I really need to work on my morning routine. I WFH so it’s so easy to take the extra time tucked cozy in my bed with my pups but I always feel so much better when I get active in the morning. Waiting on it to be light enough in the morning to walk my dogs - we don’t have a real good walking area and I’m always scared of stray dogs lol… It’s almost time though! For now I’ve been doing evening yoga a couple times a week after work. Hot yoga tonight, proud of myself for trying my best lol 🧘🏼‍♀️🥵🔥

I walk my dog first thing. Usually 6-6:30am; rain, snow or shine. I’m grateful for my heated vest for sure! Then I’m clear minded, and can coffee and shower

Yoga first thing - then coffee 🧘‍♀️☕️

@Jasmine! Thanks for the idea.... Do you have a morning routine thats gets you ready to find and accomplish your little victories??

hey, great pic. could you take another and attach it to your Sircles biography so we can recognize your posts better?

This is me enjoying my morning coffee ◇☕️◆ and taking a quiet moment to begin the day with a clear and focused mind. ♤♥︎♤♥︎

Just the five kids. Dang!!! lol. But then what happened. That really sucks. Glad you all could help. That’s awesome

Another victory I have a friend in Nairobi who has 5 children. She lives in the slums and her place was robbed and they took her bedding and food Between my sisters and my kids we gave her enough $$$ to move into a safer place. One with actual running water and a bedroom which is separate from the kitchen. God is good. She is so faithful. I love this amazing woman. She does so much with so little. She has definitely taught me a thing or two

That’s a really good rate as of right now.

I did what shelby said. Got a 5.25 % rate. So good deal

That’s awesome Elizabeth.

Not so little, but we bought a house. I am a multi property owner

Currently in the middle of one at work. So far everything is showing I’m correct and my way is better. But the group I’m up against can just say I’m higher in pay and own you so we do it this way. And that is the only way I will lose. The basic argument is me trying to save money. And prove that the companies they want a lot of us to purchase from are two to three times higher than where I want to purchase from. For the exact same product.

Last night I had the most amazing conversation with my wife! We openly talked about concerns, cares, worries, and future plans! Definitely a victory for us!! When was your last victory conversation with anyone??

I definitely consider it a victory cause I’m almost 42 and was keeping up with my 20 something friend lol 💪🏼

Little victory for today…. Survived my first heated Power Vinyasa class in quite a few years… kicked my butt but I hung in there for the full 75 minutes of non stop movement in 99 degrees 🥵… I should sleep like a baby tonight!

I guess I can call this a little victory... I was able to cook breakfast for my wife with the use of only one hand. it took twice as long to prep. being naturally right handed and it's currently in a cast, trying to do everything left-handed I never realized how much of a challenge that would be LOL

You go Tonia! You got this 💪🏼🤩

Congrats tonia. Keep us posted on your mission. Accountability can be so important

My most recent little victories are I committed to a (4 week) membership at one of my favorite yoga studios (SolFire in midtown). The 4 week commitment will hopefully help me get back into the swing of a regular practice…. I also splurged and ordered a new yoga mat that’s a little better than what I’ve allowed myself to buy in the past. Excited for it to arrive Wednesday so I can enjoy class without using a smelly loaner 🤣🫶🏻🧘🏼‍♀️

Wow that sounds AMAZING George! 🔥

love some toffee, for sure!

Yum

That looks amazing. I would love some of that right now. lol.

Coffee anyone? Belgian Chocolate Toffee with foam and shaved chocolate to start the day.

Yummy 😋

caldo de albondigas, my first attempt. it smells fantastic!

Luv Luv the local places!

Just finished my morning coffee. Perhaps a picture tomorrow. Both those establishments have their pros and cons. Mostly pros if they are fine sponsors of Sircles and I have an occasional beverage from both of them, but I find my local coffee house in several of towns I've called home beat them both.

I am over starbucks. They barely have any sugar-free options and the coffee is bland to me Dutch bro protein coffee rules!

Starbucks is usuallya iced upside down caramel macchiato

I’ve had the same Dutch order for 11 years 😆😆 try my flavors if you like rebels!!

Hmmm depends on what I’m feeling that day!! Personally I think Dutch Bros coffee is absolutely awful so I only get their rebels from there lol. If I want coffee, starbs is the must! Starbucks: Tall Hot Peppermint Mocha. Dutch Bros: Medium Iced Peach Pomegranate Rebel! 🤤

Dutch bros no real go to, I like a lot of there drinks. Starbucks always the caramel ribbon crunch.

Do you have a go to at Dutch Bros or Starbucks? Large almond green tea @ Dutch Bros for me.

I have never had a Facebook account, so giving it up was easy 😂

I only check fb now for business reasons. Its wearing on me. I get no joy from it Unlike sircles. I feel like i have real connections here at times.

I did the same back in 2020. Only had FB for two years and decided to do the same. Forgot all about it and deleted my account. Best thing I ever did. Good luck to you. Now you can focus on Sircles more. Hahaha

I am fasting from FB until 01Feb2026 which is when the fast ends. Its been difficult at times but I've managed so far and I am at the point were I don't really miss it. Hunt the good stuff LLVers.

I got tapped to train my 3rd class so far at my work this week!

I am wrapping up another multi day fast. Ends tomorrow I connected with a student on my caseload

What was your little victory this week???

I made the mistake of letting an event define me instead of realizing it helped make me who I am as a person.

I made a mistake by not speaking up when I should have and by carrying emotions in silence. It weighed on me longer than it needed to. When I finally faced it, allowed myself to feel it, and took responsibility for my part, something shifted. I learned that growth isn’t about being perfect it’s about being honest with yourself and choosing healing over pride. That realization turned my mistake into a quiet victory!

she cheated so I bought my freedom. WIN WIN

Divorce

For today's question... How have you turned a mistake into a little victory???

Today's victory.... I did something, and thats better than nothing!!!! I forgot my phone when I left the house at 330am. Got 8 miles away to the gym and realized my mistake. Instead of going home amd back to bed for an extra 45 minutes of sleep, I went home, got my phone, and back to the gym, if only for a 30 minute cardio session...

You got this!!

First night of college done 14 weeks to go

give us a heads up so I can send a donation again. I really enjoyed supporting your project that was really satisfying. you're doing a great thing my friend keep it up

Oh ok. Sweet. The next time my daughter updates her clothes to the new month. I’ll save all her old/last months clothes so I can give them to you when you’re here.

For now 😉 I'll be manifesting that we'll be in Carson City soon

Oh dang. Opposite side of the country.

I'm in North Carolina. We're going to have a food pantry at our next swap and share. We did that in November and it went really well! I was so happy with all of the food we got. Lots of formula too! That was my number one hope.

@Shawntelle.. are you doing another food drive soon?

Are you or your non profit near Carson? I might have clothes here soon that I will need to donate.

It's an event where people donate outsized kids clothes, toys, small furniture, maternity and postpartum items, and then everyone shops the donated items for free. There are no income requirements, no requirement to donate anything to receive things for free, and you can take as much as you want. The entire event is free.

Kids swap? So does that mean you take mine and I take yours? Especially when mine wants to spend money. Well at least the one loves spending money. Hahahaha.

That’s awesome.
