The beginning of the year has been crazy around here between sciatic pain and a one in a ton of years snow storm, I have been hibernating for the most part and haven't been able to get much done.That being said, I like to celebrate wins, even the small ones. So, I am celebrating the following for January:
I was able to get on some meds that will hopefully help with my sciatic pain
I was able to have a couple of massages (my therapy)
I started taking pilates with a private instructor and I love it
I have a trip planned for a one-on-one coaching session with my business coach
What are some small wins you have been able to accomplish this month?
