Re-grouping after a Bad Habit relapse

The goal is not to be perfect, but to realize when you need to have a word with yourself

Interestingly enough my last writing was about “Move Slow and Move with purpose” and then somehow found myself in the most unbalanced week I have had in a while.?

Almost like a relapse of some bad habits from my old self?

Describing a habit like a drug is interesting and a way that you can relapse on bad habits, just like you would onto bad substances.

The goal about this text is to mention that if you catch yourself in the situation, you need to be able to slow down sit down rethink, rework and move forward.

What I did was look back on my calendar which tracks everything I do, when I do and how I do it from professional and personal perspective. I try to analyze the time that I budgeted and the energy that I had used or budgeted in the tasks that involve this energy and time. What I found was that I gave myself no extra activities and no breaks between professional activities and put more time into shoving everything into one week rather than thinking about long term effectiveness?of a planned execution with my limitations. (Note how the ability to track my time on a calendar and put all activities in, allows me to reflect and improve)

The other point of this text is to show you that I am also human, I am not preaching from a level of pure understanding. I am learning as I go along but I am constantly trying to better myself and provide better for my energy and quality of life.

What I have decided to do moving forward is to allow myself no more than three hour long blocks in my calendar without a break or a walk, even if its 10 minutes. I need to ensure that I spend a bit of time playing sport or music. I am also going to put in time for the beach since it is been twelve days since I’ve been “too busy” to put my feet in the sand and I live in the Seychelles and who knows how long I will live here, so why in hell am I not taking this opportunity to better my life with some vitamin Sea!

My second step is, per day I’m going to have one or two ‘big bricks or stones’ with a couple of sand grains which will allow balance. My intention is to allow my focus to sustain itself and be effective and direct and ensure the tasks do not build up which in turn will make myself anxious leading to pending tasks that are not getting completed?.

I am also sitting on my balcony with a beautiful view watching people work on construction around me and I really need to emphasize the fact that gratitude is a great attitude. If you have something good, you deserve to enjoy it and that is perfectly fine but please never ever forget that when you have something good, it can disappear. Without good work intentions or someone else does not have what you have it is childish and immature of you not to understand that you were fortunate and that your attitude should be gratitude.
