I have done a bit of work over the last couple years in establishing structures and habits to help me move everything that I want to achieve forward. I still have days that seem to go by quickly and, while I was doing stuff, I go to bed wondering if I had maybe gotten sidetracked.
This is a good thing for me to mull over today. The past few days (maybe the entire week) have felt a little disorganized. Part of that is that I’ve added the practice of going through the 30 Day Experiment and writing a blog post into my daily routine. To make room for that, I’ve had to adjust some items in my schedule.
I have felt a little off. I know that is part of the recalibrating. I also know that it is the type of moment where I might get distracted and derailed from my goals.
I am glad for the structures I have in place to get me back on purpose more quickly when I start to slip.
For instance, this week I have found myself on social media more than I had been before. I felt my energy was a bit lower as well. I know this pattern. I can spiral down a bit more before catching myself, or I can complete the recalibration and get back to doing what I need to do.
I’m going easy on myself. It just so happens I decided to finish a book that I was going to wait a few months to work on as well. I am also working on strengthening my piano skills again and learning Tai Chi. I build in rest and exercise throughout my day.
Because the person that will accomplish what I want to accomplish would do that.
I have to be that person.
