In the words of my old boss, ‘We’re going to eat this elephant one bite at a time.’
It was definitely my Monday mantra today in between the madness and mayhem. Some days all you can do is one thing at a time.
My mental room felt like an F2 tornado did a number on it and on the train ride home I decided it wasn’t worth the headache. If ever there was a good time to start making sanity a priority, it’s now.
Today step 1 was putting a time limit on the mental room. The madness doesn’t need to catch the train home at the end of each day. 7 hours is more than enough time to be spinning around like a Whirling Dervish. Work stayed at work and the train ride home was spent on a good book.
Step 2 was making time for the physical room: time to pack a breakfast and lunch for work; time to walk, even if it was only 10 minutes at a time every other hour; time for self-care.
For step 3 I’m going to use that slice of time I spend tossing and turning trying to fall asleep to be still and reflect; a bit like a mini-meditation. I don’t think my brain would hack a significant period of time meditating just yet. Baby steps here!
Time to switch off the devices, hydrate and hit the sack with a good book. Just once in my life I’d like to master the art of zen.
Appreciating the hard work you put into your website and in depth information you offer. It’s nice to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same unwanted rehashed information. Wonderful read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.
