Ignatian Examen — Friday, January 16

1. Gratitude  
I give thanks for the joy and accomplishment I felt today. For the simple pleasures of a healthy chickpea hamburger, the care of the manicurist and pedologist, and the satisfaction of buying props that will support my Pilates practice.  

2. Presence  
I notice how fully I lived in the moment—enjoying the contract, savoring lunch, and carrying out the plans I set. My body and spirit felt aligned.  

3. Review  
I see the choices I made: completing what I intended, skipping the IFS meetings, yet showing up for the TYI class. Each decision reflects my priorities and energy for the day.  

4. Growth  
I recognize that even when I let go of one commitment, I honored another. This balance is part of my growth—learning to discern where my presence is most needed.  

5. Hope  
I carry forward the joy of accomplishment, the nourishment of healthy food, and the care I received. Tomorrow, I hope to continue honoring my body, my commitments, and my connections with gratitude and courage.
