Hello Hive Family,
I hope you’ve all been sleeping well are in generally good health.It’s Wednesday so that means it’s time for my weekly wellness report for the Wednesday Well-being a club.
What is the Wednesday Well-being Club?
According to @shanibeer
The Wednesday Wellbeing Club is for anyone who wants to make some lifestyle changes. It will run every week for fifteen weeks until Wednesday 24 November 2021.I'm aiming to lose 6kg in that time with the intention of improved health benefits and the opportunity to reduce medication. You might have other health goals - being more active, giving up smoking, getting more sleep.Each week, we'll check progress against the Rule of Fives I set out in the launch post. You can write your own post each week, or you can just leave a comment on each week's post about how things are going for you.
My Weekly Targets🎯
My wellness targets cover mental and spiritual, physical, relational and financial wellbeing. More specifically, I’ll be using the Rule of Fives to track the indicators shown in the table which follows.

My Week 4 Well-being Report
| Target Category | Week 4 Action: Wed to Tue | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Reflection | Hive blog, 🙏 | Each time I write in my blog it requires me to do some kind of reflection, so I may actually be spending a lot more time than planned on this goal. 25% improvement needed. |
| Family Relations | 📚 🎣 | Achieved. Again this week a lot of my time with the boys was spent supervising their homework. We also went fishing for the second time. This time at a different location that didn't have an entry fee or any fees for that matter. It felt a bit like we were taking part in the Saturday Savers Club no buy month challenge. |
| Physical Exercise | Walking 🚶♀️ | As I mentioned in a previous report, I looked at the results of my annual medical checkup and realized that I’ve been gaining just over 1kg each year for the last 2 years.This week I got some additional exercise by taking the train to work instead of going by car. I had to walk to the station and walk again from the station to my workplace. Then I did the reverse to get home. That’s just under an hour walk combined to and fro. Achieved. |
| New Category 🥅 | activity | Previous goal Achieved.Last week I wrote that I’d be be replacing my hydration goal with another.I’m doing this because I realized that I’m now in a comfortable place with this goal. As a target it is actually pretty doable so I will replace it with something that is more of a challenge soon. I’m still thinking 🤔 about what the new goal should be. I thought I’d share my thought process so far with you here. (1) I was thinking of setting a dietary goal to reduce my salt intake or (2) an environmental goal to consciously reduce my usage of plastics.An additional trend of thought is leading me towards (3) reserving this space for short term goals that are achievable in a week or two. Let me know what you think I should do in the comments below 💡? |
| Finance | Start 618HP-Now 697HP | +79HP 98% Achieved. I’m am a little behind (-1HP) my target 🎯 but I got some HP from voting and creating content this week.I also have some HBD in saving 8.05HBD and a trickle of Hive. I’m grateful to everyone who voted on my posts in the past four weeks. Thank you very much. |
