It's About to Snow ... and other Random Thoughts
Good morning,
I can't believe it's been over a week since my last post. My, my, but time does fly.
I've been to San Francisco and back... and I caught a cold. That's a funny phrase. Did I catch it like a ball? No, I allowed my immune system to run on empty -- not enough sleep or exercise and here I am.
Point: We are 100% accountable for our lives!
Wish is weren't so, but it is. So, today it's predicted to snow or at least send down a few flurries in NYC ... first time this year. With this cold, I think I'll sit tight, well mainly. Maybe I'll even RELAX and REST a bit. What a concept.
I think the last time I watched TV was on Election night and I can't remember when I just listened to music or read. I've been so busy being busy.
Any of you relate to just being busy ... for the sake of being busy? This past weekend, I attended a fabulous Landmark Education advanced seminar in San Fran .... it's called Power & Contribution. I learned there how much I DISTRACT myself from doing what I'm really called to this earth to do. Each of us had opportunities to see our individual strategies for avoiding or distracting ourselves. I saw that I spin and whirl around thinking of things to do and trying to do things, I putter, I go off to movies occasionally in the middle of the day, I get into some negative thinking AND I avoid sleep (funny). The avoiding sleep is an interesting one. In this time of economic challenge and trying to find more work, sleep has become a "waste of time" to me ... if I"m sleeping, I'm not being productive. And, also, when I go to sleep too early, and I'm not tired enough, my mind goes nuts muddling through all my doubts and fears and I can't sleep anyhow. So, I wait til I'm really tired and then easily fall asleep -- but it might be really late. I also distract by worrying and thinking through scenarios in my head.
I love to learn about how I operate. Only by knowing the choices I make, can I choose to do something else. You might want to try it.
Meanwhile, I'm watching how the Obama team is developing (a little) and I'm spending a lot of time on my computer.
Those are my thoughts on an early Thursday morning. Hope you have a great day.
