Mombie – a bit of everything

Sticking with a plan?

I often have trouble sticking with plans I made for getting my work done.

Either I underestimate the work involved, I forget about travel time, or I make some similar error and get on my own nerves.

Oh, and sometimes I plan for a regular day just when I have a bunch of unusual days coming up in a row.

Yesterday, I made a place for an ordinary day today but I had to pick up my car, go to the supermarket, and head to an appointment by 9:30.

That’s not an ordinary day so I couldn’t use my plan for an ordinary start.

Luckily, I have gotten past the point where I think that means I have failed. And I have stopped abandoning the whole plan when one thing goes wrong.

I still have a little trouble deciding how to change the original plan to match my reality though.

I guess these things just take time. 😉

Remembering to Breathe

I have a lot to do in the next two weeks.

Not an impossible amount but still a fair bit more than usual.

I need to be focused and stay on task.

And I need to remember to spend MORE time meditating even though it feels like taking time away from my list.

I just have to trust the fact that it’s always easier to pay attention to the details when I have remembered to breathe.

I am always well protected

I was reading in my hammock for a while this afternoon.

Khalee didn’t want me to be all vulnerable out there, apparently.
