One of the hardest things to FLYing is: GETTING STARTED. I had my moment today. I have come to learn that it never has to do with the present day. It is always about the past day or two.
I spend the majority of my time in my kitchen. It is where my computer is and I have an island that gives me extra working space. Yesterday I did lots except for one, make that two things. I didn’t put away the project I was working on and I didn’t unload my dishwasher.
I decided to go to bed earlier than my usual time. Yes, my sink got shined but my counters were filled with some dishes from dinner and paperwork I was working on. Those 2 things were enough to make my kitchen look messy.
This morning I was having a hard time: GETTING STARTED. I knew the decision I made last night would affect today. I just didn’t realize how much.
So what did I do? I got Dressed To Shoes Hair and Makeup, I found a cd that I like, set the timer for 45 minutes and the way I went.
First issue at hand was emptying the dishwasher. As I did that I found myself to begin to dance. Lily remembers when I used to do that. Frederick my maltese never saw such a thing. Wow! I began to find my mojo! I got the kitchen all cleaned up and my laundry room too. Did some picking up in my living room. (the empty dish that had contained my steel oats I eat every morning) Heck, I even have a load of laundry going! What am I going to do next after I finish writing this blog? I am going to give myself a 30 minute break! That was something I didn’t do yesterday and feel I made more of a mess because I didn’t love myself enough to realize breaks are just as important as FLYing! For me to FLY it means First Love Yourself. Others will come next. I think yesterday I had it backwards. Not today! I am so proud of myself at what I got done! And isn’t that what this is all about? To feel good about your accomplishments whether it is something at work you did or even unloading a dishwasher.

OK .. I need to do that today! I woke up again in the middle of the night. Feel lousy because again I couldn’t fall back to sleep. This is getting to be a pattern that keeps me from having enough energy to keep my head up (let alone do what needs to get done). So maybe I need to add one more thing to this blog. Make a pot of coffee! LOL. I’m off to get started on this. Starting with coffee 😉 Tricia
