Despite my fearful and anxious mood, I can see the prow-gress. I can see the strides I have made in the last couple of weeks with the websites, with my art, and with my house.
I am an impatient little bobbin, and it never seems to be going smoothly enough or quickly enough to suit my fancy, there never seems to be enough money; I tend to obsess, stay up, refresh, keep doing, keep trekking, long after my brain has shut down and I am running the autopilot on pure fumes.
I keep reminding myself that I need to take more time for me.
Today I stopped for a while, to go to the community center, and hang out over the two hour lunch slot, and paint a portrait. I plan on going back for a little bit tomorrow, too.
With any luck I'll have a new acrylic to post soon.
In the meantime, I must really scale back my activity to a more healthy level. I have studied these trends before, and I know full well that one of the things I am chronically guilty of, is trying to do too much. To achieve a healthy level of work I need to take what I slot to get done in a single day and spread it out over an entire week. I must remember that I am allowed to take it easy and spend time just indulging myself in what I WANT to do, not what I feel I HAVE to do.
Perhaps therein lies the electric fence on the pages of my todo book.
I'm going to take a closer look at the items that I tend to not get crossed off. Are these things that I just want to do that I feel I don't have time to indulge?
In depth report, tonight at 11.
