exhaustion.
I won't go into the details but after a very exhausting early start to this week, I'm sitting here at my island in the kitchen on a Wednesday morning allowing myself some time to think.
Even in my happiest, most accomplished times of my life, I always find myself contemplating my actions, my goals, my day to day life. Whats working, whats not, what will allow me to be my most successful going forward. Success has its own definition to each person and mine is not limited to my career or money. These things play a significant role but they are heavily dependant on the rest of the elements in my life.
I've always lived for the future. Creating something that is not yet here, to benefit the person I'm not yet. But today I'm thinking about respecting the present-me enough to invest in today's moments. The trick is balancing the investment in today and tomorrow but I believe it can happen. I have goals for the future- the me of tomorrow will travel the world, live in a tiny house, camp in the wilderness, be of fitness model looks. But today exists the person that is healthy and in decent shape, who gets to dip away for a weekend of sleeping in a tent and sitting around a camp fire, and saves to travel the world.
Any time I feel anxiety, exhaustion, stress- I know something isn't working in my present life. Often its because I've become consumed with the future life. So I know I need to stop the world, I need to be alone, reset, and reconsider. That is what I'm doing today.
Today I am thinking about breaking the cycle of things that may not benefit me now or tomorrow. Thinking about the steps needed to break those cycles.
Today I am thinking about the small things I can do now that will keep me grounded in the present. Realizing that investing into those small things is where my time and energy needs to go right now.
