My thoughts about things. |
| A place to put my thoughts about various stuff. |
| We are four days into 2026. How could that possibly be? I remember thinking that 2027 is way far away into the future and now it is on the horizon. I always feel rushed these days. No matter what it is I am doing, I feel that I am not doing it fast enough. I started realizing this about a year ago. When it occurred to me, I had the immediate thought of - why? Why am I rushing and silently berating myself because I'm not getting things done faster? There are a few reasons. None of them are appropriate and they certainly aren't beneficial to my health. Outside influence. Others that drive themselves and it is simply expected that everyone else should, too. Never enough time. Many days go by in a blink, it seems. Poor time management. Getting caught up in the feelings and losing focus, priorities get skewed. Fatigue. I cannot honestly recall a time when I didn't feel tired. Though I am realizing the physical aspect is a manifestation of emotional and mental stress, mostly. Negative self-outlook. If you haven't finished it by now, when will you ever? Hurry, hurry, hurry! Sadness. Times have passed that will never be again. Times are coming that the same will happen. All of this is to say that I do now realize I need to slow down to hurry up, so to speak. I need to set boundaries, get more organized, look deeper, process things (not hide from them), and begin to evaluate myself and my role in the world. As I do those things and slow down to do them, my hope is that I will unlock new (and old) feelings, skills and abilities that will help carry me through my present and future challenges in a healthier and more satisfying way. |
