Pollywog's Log of Life

So I continued with my Energy for Life course today. The previous modules I did were all about recognizing where I am, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. The module I completed today and the next one after are all about making changes in your life which lead toward the life you want to live. Of course, defining the life I want to live is difficult as is recognizing where I stand currently on all four fronts mentioned above. There are pressures pushing down from society, friends, family, and work that are hard to block out when addressing my own issues. The part that makes it scary is that life will continue on whether you're present or not, so the longer you take to figure all these things out, the less time you have to enjoy life . You're probably thinking, but it's all about the journey not the destination! And I say to you, of course it's about the journey, but having a destination keeps me motivated.

Mmm, a great night sleep is hard to beat. I'm sitting in my backyard with a cup of coffee though it's still dark with many clouds in the sky.

That makes so much sense, yet is hard to keep that at the forefront of my mind when there are other distractions and pressures. As for using stress to grow, ...

Today I attended the kickoff for a course called energy for life. It's all about energy management which apparently has been around for some time. Everyone wishes they had more time yet...it's finite...only 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, and so on. Energy is a bit more tricky though it's safe to bet there is plenty of it and can be restored in many ways, i.e. a good night's rest. I don't have problems with sleep though I'm sure I could handle my energy better resulting in a happier me. This is the beginning though, I've got to keep motivation up. That's all for today, we took out some portals which definitely helped my mood, yay. Yummy leftover soup for dinner and now some cool dreams. Talk soon
