Unstoppable...
After waking up this morning feeling rushed and aggravated, I stopped and did my sitting/breathing for a little while, then did some exercise and had my breakfast. I ate twice the protein I usually have. I’ve been feeling run-down and off balance, so I need to just “anchor” myself with some good protein.
I need to keep my physical strength up. When I don’t keep my physical strength and endurance up, it affects my mentality, and also my mood, and that’s not good.
This week has been very challenging. I have barely had time to write anything, let alone stop and think. It just feels like things have gone into a tailspin. We’re trying to adjust to the different work configuration at the office – it has changed dramatically, and people are really pressed to figure out how to do all the work we had trouble finishing before, under these new and even more challenging conditions.
It’s almost like the parent company wants us all to quit. Bad economy or no, I work with a lot of really competent folks who would probably have NO problem finding work elsewhere. And we’d probably make more money, as well.
Still and all, the day is waiting. I’ve got a lot of stuff to get done, and the day won’t last forever. The main thing is to find some peace within myself and not let myself get thrown off by the changes. There will always be changes… even the smallest of details, if I get riled enough about it, can result in lots of stress, lots of anxiety, lots of stuff to work through later.
And I just don’t have that kind of time. I’ve got things to do, places to go, things to accomplish.
So, staying steady and calm in the midst of it all needs to be my main focus, so that I have access to the full range of thought and adaptability that I have available to me.
When I’m stressed and I let it all get the better of me, that’s when I start having fewer options, and at this point in my life, why do that to myself?
