As a freelancer/entrepreneur I try to set myself a working schedule. Isn't that why most people want to become their own boss?
I organize meetings, write, research and rest as I want.
That is...most of the time.
These past few days have been the busiest weeks I've had since the beginning of the year.
- In with the work out with the workouts -
It has been incredibly hard to squeeze in a run to the gym, a yoga class or a light jog.
This week I decided it was enough. Working out is not something I do, it is part of who I am.
First of all I had to deal with the fact that I want to do everything at once. I understand that this is aggravated by the fact that I leave in a week and I won't be able to do any work for a month.
Still, it is my fault for trying to fit EVERYTHING in one day, week, etc. Note to self: Distribute the work load.
Then I had to come to terms with another fact: I wont finish everything before I leave and that...is not the end of the world.
Subconscious thinks: Scary. My mind says: but true.
There are things I can't control. Some may be good (work) and some may be overwhelming (too much work) but I have to learn to take them in as they pop up in my life. Now, this is easier said than done. I keep repeating myself "deal with it, deal with it" and at the same time my back is so tense that one of my shoulders is kind of stuck. I think I could use a massage.
I finally made myself get out and go for a run. It is unbelievable how 30 minutes of doing what you love can remind you how to be yourself.
Call it a mirror, a time travel, meditation, pep talk, me time...I don't care. It redirects you.
As I learn to balance my life and my shoulder gets slowly unstuck I tell myself something:
As I said there are things I can't control, from time to time I may find not only my shoulder but my whole self stuck in life ...but at least I know what I need to do to get unstuck. Thirty minutes of doing what I love will have me moving forward in no time.
Have you found what you need to do to unstuck yourself? If you have please share!
