This weekend was…amazing. The idea of getting some time to relax and do nothing has never felt better. That’s not to say I didn’t feel guilty about not getting some stuff done but I’m counting this as a win of sorts. I think in the past, I would have felt REALLY guilty for just doing “nothing” for the past two days.
It really is how you frame it though. This supposed “nothing” allowed me to get some much needed recuperation, spend some quality time with my wife while also making me miss work so to speak. It’s not totally perfect as it’s close to 9PM and I’m now beginning my productivity by filling in this entry while also doing my weekly review thus preparing myself for the upcoming week.
I just read another Medium article that talked about having growth mindset while another one spoke about Burnout. I want to get better at not getting burnt out, thus building more endurance for tasks, jobs and work while also having a mindset that is not always so fixed. I want to be able to be okay with taking some breaks sometimes. I hope that this break allows me to go HAM this upcoming week because I know that I’ll have a week off next week.
I already know that this may make me feel super anxious as there’s always work to be done but I want to make sure I don’t screw anyone over at work so I welcome the challenge. It’s going to be a lot of hours in the office and I’m sure a lot of headaches but there are plenty of things that I need to do and take care of before I get to go on Vacation with my lovely wife to celebrate not only her birthday but some new changes coming into her life. A change that will be for the better.
So inspirational she is.
I think this week, I’ll have to constantly remind myself what’s at the end of the road and reach for that price so to speak. I need to do good work, stay busy and things will breeze on by. I’ll have a shoot on Saturday and the next day, I start a nice little vacation.
Now getting to a point where I don’t feel bad on vacation or during weekends and not do ANY work, where I chill will be a bit more of a challenge. I need to know myself a bit more and be more conscious about how I feel. I think that’ll be the only way I can grow in all areas of my life and I know that’s ultimately what I want.
I can feel the urge to start writing, to start telling stories and it’s starting to get to a point where I don’t think I won’t be able to sit still without thinking about doing it. This idea of working on stuff just 5 minutes a day is a good starting point. Admittedly I did not do this Saturday or Sunday. One of those days I can attribute to work but even then, I should’ve went to bed earlier the night before, which I totally could’ve done, to wake up early and type on my laptop for 5 minutes. That ain’t shit. Could’ve been done. That’ll be the next goal: This Saturday, give yourself enough time to wake up and work on things in your free time. Even if it’s writing here. I’ll learn that it’s easy and continue to itch for it.
Let’s start and end the week strong this week. Feeling positive; let’s ride this through.
Cheers,
