Oh the excitement!
Firstly the cold that was starting seems to have made a hasty retreat so I am very happy about this. I am in fact giving myself a pat on the back for doing things to stop it in it’s tracks. Such as getting to bed at a reasonable hour on a Friday night. And actually relaxing, stopping myself from thinking about the exciting things that are happening right now so I can sleep.
In the past it has been full steam ahead, no time for sleep. Exciting things being much more important than all the sensible stuff like food, sleep, exercise and relaxation. But it seems I may have finally learned that burning myself out is bad. And balance is good.
So what exactly are all these exciting things?
Well first on my list is me. I am excited because my confidence is returning, my energy is increasing and my weight is dropping. I am feeling much more ‘Helen’ like than I have for a long time.
Secondly is work. The day job. I am enjoying it and feel motivated and energised. There’s lots of fun stuff happening, and so many projects to do. Lots of deadlines too, but they will all get met. Nothing makes me happier than lots of projects and lots of energy.
Thing number three is writing. My blogging has taken on a life of it’s own. Thanks to Russell T Davies (see yesterdays blog) and Stephen Fry’s blog, my guilt about my novels is making a hasty retreat. I am finally enjoying writing and feeling satisfied by what’s being produced.
Number four is a new entry. And it is about 21 hours old. I had a thunderbolt of inspiration about setting up in business yesterday. It’s under wraps this moment as it’s early days (well ‘day’ in fact) but I think this is the solution to my problem of (a) wanting to work for myself eventually and (b) making the most of my strengths.
Life is good. And I’m enjoying it now. Because things change, tomorrow something awful could happen or generally stuff might not work out. Mostly I’m hoping that I have turned over a new leaf when it comes to myself and am going to be able to continue to look after myself so I can sustain this level of productivity and excitement.
