1. It's Fridayyyyy! This has been a very long, but honestly very rewarding, week. I've gotten a lot done, had some fun, and just overall felt like this week kicked ass. On one hand that is wonderful and I love these weeks, but on the other hand I know that I need to take some time for me this weekend to decompress and refresh myself or I'm going to end up rather run down and it's going to be a mess. Especially because next weekend I'm off for a long weekend to visit my grandfather out of town which means missing some work and I know as hard as I try to not think about it, I'm going to. So recharging this weekend to have another kickass week next week to be able to go into my mini vacation strong is definitely a priority.
2. Sometimes impulsiveness can be helpful for balance? Which doesn't really make sense, but hear me out. I have found that if I listen to my little impulses that say "take a break and play one round of your favorite puzzle game" or "don't make a work call on the drive home, call a friend or family member" I get far less overwhelmed overall. Sure I may miss small chances to get little things crossed off my to do list in that instant, but I can enjoy myself quite a bit more.
3. Living in the now vs. planning for the future balance is difficult. And honestly I hope to expand this into it's own blog post soon just to get some more thoughts down on it. I've always been someone incredibly stressed about the future and needing to plan and always knowing what's next. I've improved on that a great deal in the past couple years and found it much more rewarding to be able to better live in the present to enjoy my life as it is now. But then I catch myself so caught up in the now that I have no idea what's coming next. Not always a bad thing, but I am still more comfortable when I have some sort of idea or plan in general....
