Rush

[tinywarrior]

For the first time in a long time, I hate waking up in the mornings. I tell myself it's stress--job, money, relationships, derby...you name it. I wake up and in that instant that I realize I'm awake, everything comes crashing in on me and all I can do is wish myself back to sleep. Of course, I don't have the luxury of being that self-indulgent

ughhhhh I just woke up and I hear you sister.
Except I don't have to get up so I take about 45minutes to become completely awake these days... I don't have a job yet in this new city I'm in and not much on my agenda except worrying about money and getting a job, so I try to sleep it all away. :( I have been setting my alarm earlier and earlier though, so at least I've gone from waking up at 12:40pm to 10:40am - trying to get some balance.

I wish you well with slowing down!

I decided one day to take the age-old cliche of "living in the present moment" seriously and just stopped one day, standing on a subway platform as the train was drawing in. It's a magical feeling to realise that nothing "is" but that present moment, not the future we constantly strive towards nor the past which fills our heads most days. I missed my train. But it was worth it.

slow down, you move to fast

Life should never be merely a blur of hard places and things.

so very true. please try and take some time for you
ie:lock your self in the bathroom, have a nice hot soak... even sneak in a ciggie and a glass of wine or tea. ;> you'd be amazed at how that wee bit of time can help, in the long run.

i say this as a reminder to myself, as have a habit of suffering thru the same thing

I'm relating--except replace cigarettes with Diet soda and coffee and you've got me!

Some days I feel as if my body is held together by stress and caffeine---I know I should be drinking water, doing yoga and getting on the treadmill again but for some reason I've been sacrificing my health for helping others. Bad bad bad.

Yeah, it's easy to go for the quick fix. I know better.
