Decisions! Decisions!

Recently I made a decision to walk away from a job I dearly loved. It was a simple equation, the stress was killing me and I was not getting done what I needed to do for my own life. I literally agonized for eight months to the point of making myself sick. Now that I have made the decision to walk away I am glad I did. I will miss the people and will keep in touch with many of them but I know I made the right decision. You are not any good to anyone else if you don’t take care of yourself!

Today is a hard day for me. I’m supposed to be speaking at a conference and I’m not, to make matters worse I’m in pain from a sciatic flare up so I’m in pain. That’s why I wasn’t able to go to speak. I am feeling pretty sad about it. I can wallow in the sadness or I can do something about it. It’s ok to be upset it’s only normal but I can’t stay here too long. Get up and find something fun to do to take my mind off of being sad. Sure I’m disappointed but it’s not the end of the world. There will be other opportunities. The problem is when I stay stuck. It is better to go do something fun, go to lunch with a friend, paint or read a good book for awhile. I need to do something to take my mind off of what is making me sad. Tomorrow WILL be a better day.

Resting

I usually plan on resting after a weekend of busyness, but today I can’t. Instead I have taken it a little bit slow this morning instead of getting ready quickly I have lingered over my breakfast and sat in my chair just a bit longer than usual. It is important to stop and rest once in awhile even if it is only for a few moments to savor the morning before rushing off into my day. You are not any good for anyone else if you don’t take care of yourself.

No doesn’t have to mean never. It can mean, not now or later. You really don’t know what a decision really means at the time you make it but you have to decide what is best for you at the time.

I recently decided to put a decision on hold which meant my long term planning strategy would change. The moment I said the words I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders and I knew I had made the right decision. Does that mean I will never come back to this possibility? No it doesn’t it only means that right now in my life I cannot entertain the idea because I have enough on my plate already. End of story. This is called taking care of yourself.
