It’s been a while since I posted. Almost a year. And I feel it. All these unorganised thoughts are going round in my head. I know very well that it would help to write them down, share them with someone, but it takes effort. And I honestly haven’t felt like making effort. Until I realised last night – if I don’t make effort for myself, who will?
I feel like the last few months flew by in a blurr. It feels like a lot happened but at the same time not a lot happened, if you know what I mean. Work was very busy, so I felt tired over the weekend. Every Monday I would say “this week I will sit down and write” but by Friday I just could not face the screen. I kept telling myself that I work hard and should rest because you know, all these well being gurus say that you should be good to yourself and listen to your body. Well, I listened to my body. It wanted bloody chocolate and a lie down on the sofa…… This resulted in abandoned exams (I don’t know if I can be bothered), an abandoned blog and a couple of inches in my waist . None of these things are life threatening, yet the lack of progress certainly made me feel like it. And yes, the “change” played heavily on my mind – am I lazy or is it the hormones????? When it clearly would have been the sugar form the bloody chocolate that my body was screaming for when I listened to it as advised! So things are changing today. 5 things I promise to myself:
- I need to shift my focus. Need to book a holiday. Something to look forward to.
- I bought myself a mountain bike – once a week is a must. So far I did about 60 miles. I really need padded pants 😶
- I will write once a week. Every Friday or Saturday morning. 30 minutes minimum.
- I will take the business one step at the time not think about the next one until I have to – I feel overwhelmed sometimes, which makes me procrastinate. I can’t afford it.
- 3 workouts a week is a minimum.
I am giving myself a week to tick all five. Adios!
