go to bed and go to sleep, instead of lying in bed for hours staring at the ceiling because my brain won’t stop
(read all 2 entries…)
In the past couple of months, I was struggling there for awhile on trying to get to sleep, and I’ve realized that really it was just a matter of listening to my mind, body, and soul. Typically, if something was keeping me awake, it was for a reason. Maybe I needed to be working out more to deal with excess energy or stress. Maybe I needed to journal to let those thoughts out. So for the most part, I’m sleeping now without the help of anything. And when those nights return, I just remember that I’m forgetting the basics and make it a point to get out my journal or work out on the treadmill the next day.
never ending goals in life
2 years ago
You know…you never hear people on their death bed saying if only I filed all my paperwork. Sure it’s one of those things in life that you need to do, and it does hold value. But there is more to life than cleaning house and filing paperwork…I guess what you would call the never ending goals in life.
The enternal question in life is how do you accomplish these goals with the least amount of effort so you can focus on the bigger picture? That is the question, but for now, I did spend a good hour going through paperwork and getting caught up on a few business calls/paying bills so I’m going to go spend some time towards the more important things and write my grandma a letter.
