Motivational Blocks

I am having to give myself a real kick up the bum. I have so much to do in terms of setting up and promoting a business, producing material for a website, writing material for a women's development workshop, writing essays and getting some paying clients.

Heck!

I was going to really get going after Christmas, but then it was only 3 weeks till we went on holiday, we got back and got Puppy. He's been here 3 weeks. We had friends here all weekend - I really need to knuckle down and get started.

Have revised my action plan for the next 3 months, but prioritising is a real big issue - it ALL needs doing during March.

Oh well, best just knuckle down.

A New Hope

We lost his royal doggyness just after Christmas. I had been expecting it for a couple of years. We'd had a little bit of a health problem and he'd never properly recovered from it. It didn't make the change any easier. I described it as there being something missing from just behind me and to my right which is where he always seemed to be.

So everytime I turned around he simply was no longer there. Its been strange.

A month later and enough has been enough and we've settled on Puppy. I've never known anything so small fill such a big gap.

Wasted Time

I've just finally opened a Twitter account and is therefore something I'm only just getting to grips with. How to tweet or retweet......and what appears to everyone....and what is seen only by those its intended for.

So I'm still being really careful at the moment.

This appeared as a Tweet - on my Twitter page:

"How many wasted minutes are in your day? What if you put them all together and took another step towards you goal?"

I'm sharing it with you because I think its very apt. Time is so short and there is so much to do. Something I often complain about in my Blog. I try not to waste time and to live every minute of my life even if that's doing the boring mundane stuff like the washing. When I'm at my best I can juggle two or three housey tasks between catching up on my favourite TV and sorting out the evening meal. Its tiring though but I really see the benefits of doing it.

Its such a shame that I often loose all the time I've gained by procrastinating. Updating and viewing facebook when I should be writing web pages.

Oh well!

Motivational Quote - Mind and Body

"Wholesome exercise in the free air, under the wide sky, is the best medicine for body and spirit."

Sarah Louise Arnold

I chose this quote having been to the gym at lunchtime. I get a real buzz and energy kick from my exercise classes and believe that exercise is just as good for the mind as the body. And I believe that's its good to take an hour or so of gym classes 2-3 times a week.

But what I know more than anything is there is nothing quite like a week's walking in the fells of the lake district.

I can't wait.
