Good morning, everyone!!!
Why is it the easiest things in life are the ones least beneficial to us? And the hardest things in life give us the greatest feelings of accomplishment?
I'm noticing small changes each day as I push forward with my goals. However, the last few days it took everything I had to push the mark forward and just keep moving.
I've recently come off of a high energy, just do it, don't think about it, time. It wears you out both physically and mentally. I know from past experience that I have to reenergize and then begin pushing forward, pushing the mark until I'm back on track.
During these high energy moments in life I tell myself, "Soon you'll have time for this or that." Then it comes around and I'm just worn out from pushing the mark for so long. I have to take a few moments to remember what it's like to be 'normal' again, LOL.
Now things are starting to slow down again for a few moments. I take that time to breathe, but there is so much catching up from that busy time, that it is almost overwhelming at times. So, I find myself procrastinating more than I should. Putting things off instead of pushing the mark forward.
Then out of the blue I give myself a pep talk. Tell myself it isn't doing itself, so get your butt out of the chair and get busy.
Thankfully, I'm starting to see progress. Which is not only energizing but also exhausting. Since it was a beautiful day yesterday evening, I did manage to just sit and be still for a few moments out on my back porch, on my porch swing, and meditate for a minute. This seemed to help some. I was able to get more checked off my list of things to do, even though there is still so much to do on that blasted list, I still feel accomplished :) As long as progress is being made and things are moving forward, I choose to be happy with the accomplishments.
I am one person and can only do so much in the hours provided, such as work, then work at home. Sleep is an important factor when you get to be my age, so the waking up early and the going to bed earlier than I used to, is something I have to get used to. Mornings have always been my best cleaning time, so when I work the day job in the mornings, I have to get used to afternoons being my best cleaning time, LOL. Late nights used to be my best writing time. So now early evenings have got to be my best writing time LOL. Yeah, it's hard to change things around when you've spent years making it happen another way.
The important thing is I am slowly making it happen. I'm pushing things forward and one day it will just become habit.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
