Yesterday I was having a somewhat difficult day. Technical issues that continue to plague me- and if you know me you know I don’t allow myself to be beaten by tech often. I’m still unsure what the issue is- but I’ll get there eventually.
That along with several other things happening- I felt simply overwhelmed and sad. I know when I’m emotional that I need to take a step back and process. I could feel my cortisol rising and having the stress reaction- a sure sign that I need to get myself in check.
I was actually feeling somewhat down- simply from the burden of everything when I received an email from a project I turned in a while back. It was the completed project and asking me to check everything for edits- and send in by Monday. Seeing my work all completed and how it’s going to appear was absolutely mind blowing to me and I may have shed a tear or two. Immediately I felt a load lifted from my shoulders and I realized that the path my mind was headed down was not the path I needed to be on. I considered this a little reminder from the world around me that my focus was veering and I needed to continue to focus on the beautiful things happening for me in the world.
Today was not much easier- but I felt better on the whole. My perspective was different and so was my focus. I went to my stylist- had a cut and color. Did edits I needed to do and submitted those- plus I have the evening to myself.. Looking forward to quiet, but first a nice bath.
