You know them right.. those days where you want to do so many things and non of it seems to happen.
I don’t know if it is an ADD related thing, or if everyone has it.. but it is frustrating as.. well as whatever rude word you can insert here haha.
It is this feeling of restlessness batteling boredom, batteling too much you want to do.. and in the end nothing happends and you feel even more restless with a slight load of dissapointment in yourself to top it off.
So what do you do on a day like that. What do you do when you are telling people: hey I am a coach, a motivational speaker and I am going to help you..! while you are stuggeling yourself with these issues?
Well, you write about it!
It doesnt have to be a good blog, it will probably have lots of typos and spelling mistakes.. but that just adds to the whole point of this little journey into whatever the hec this is.
There is more than one reason for me to write this down:
First of all, if I write this, than at least I am still doing something worthwhile. That helps.
Second, I am only human with my strugles and my day to day life to deal with. I need you to know that. If I want to inspire anyone at all, that I need to show you the stuggles, as much as the successes.
I told you i would take you along on my journey, and days like these are part of it.
They suck.. but they are part of it.
Its weird, when I have some time off I plan on doing all these creative and usefull things… and in the end I do nothing. Than I get most inpiration on days I have to work, and can’t act on it. Maybe my chaotic mind needs the day to days static to perform well haha.
Oh well.. gotta deal with reality as it is.
So here is what I am learning: dont get stuck in the feeling of personal dissapointment. It is only a moment, or a day, and than it’ll be better. No use beating yourself up over it, you’ll only prolong it and invite more of it in. So just get over it.
Also, go do something, anything, even if its just writing a crappy blog about it, so that you have a slight feeling of satisfaction to battle the restlesness with.
And if really nothing you have planned works out, and you are just a coach potato with a gloomy mind.. at least go do it right. Get past the gloom, forget all your plans and use the downtime to relax propperly. Give in to it and stop stressing about it.
Put on your comfy clothes, get a cuppa and a roll of cookies, sit back watch your favorite movie and just let it all go.
If it truly has to be one of those days.. you might aswell take advantage of it.
I know I will.
Love ya,
