As soon as I came back from a very rare opportunity to visit a warmer climate and have a full week off with nothing on my mind, I resorted back to an insane life.
That's slightly exagerated. It was not totally insane but as soon as I got off the plane I was back to my hyperactive self. As soon as the phone began to ring I was unraveling my calm brain trying to bend over backwards for who? Myself I guess because I am generally an over-pleaser. Then, I was completely exhausted the next day.
Enough of my complaining. I saw such a dramatic change between the vacation me and the back to normal life me, I had to reclaim the vacation me and incorporate the vacation me into the everyday life. I wanted to make daily living more than checking of a to do list and being the family taxi service.
I want to live like vacation.
That does not mean sit on the beach homeschooling my child and working some amazing home business that provide barrels of cash to my bank account. That could be in the future, but does not sound realistic to me.
Right now I am taking small baby steps at living a less scrambled life that has more calm so I can be a better health care practitioner for my practice members and have enough energy left to be a fun mom and wife.
So, here I already see my big fault here. I need to be an awesome wife and mother first. Then, have some left over energy for my private practice. How did I get so brainwashed?
Time to get un-brain-washed and live like vacation.
Yes, things need to get done. I have to raise a young boy and help him become a decent grown up. Yes, we have bills to pay so we are not a burden to others. Yes, hubby and I need to have a life together that doesn't include work, bills, repairs, errands, babysitting, etc.
So a mind shift took place because I saw the different side of me while I was on vacation. And I saw that side of me lost suddenly back in the weeds.
So, the mind-set shift continues.
The habits change. In ways this is becoming a health makeover although I have not noted too much of that since the blog began.
Based on the principle of the domino effect. Good habits have a ripple effect in multiple areas of life.
Anything that helps you reclaim your energy gives you better mileage. So, these initial baby-steps are leading to other goals that are more far reaching than getting everyone out the door on time.
So buckle up and enjoy the ride with me.
