You would think at my age that I would know better. But I never seem to learn until my body says
STOP.
It has been an exciting, busy week fast on the heels of a
successful writers’ retreat. I mention the retreat because that was the start
of my fast lane dash. When you work
over the weekend, you lose that chance to catch your breath, to restore your
energies so come Monday you are roaring to go.
Not me. Now I don’t
want to turn this blog into a whiny post, especially since I am a big girl, and
I am doing this to myself.
I get excited
about stuff, say yes, without checking my calendar and before you know it, for example, I have three meetings in three
different cities all on one day.
And as a result:
- · I have over 800 emails in my inbox waiting for an answer.
- · It’s Friday and I still haven’t written my Thursday blog
- · I am sneezing and coughing all over the place.
Why do we do this to ourselves? I am constantly writing about self-care,
taking time for yourself, slowing down, and so on.
I think it is time I paid attention and took my own
advice. I am switching off now and going to
curl up with a good book.
See you Monday.
