Getting Centered

I had a blog all planned to go out today because I was trying really hard to keep to my new schedule. It was going to be a great one about all the things I learned from a recent trip/experience. I’ll still write it and post it, but not now. I’m actually sitting here writing this the day before leaving for my “break” that I mentioned in my #oneword post a couple of weeks ago. I still have three meetings scheduled for tonight, a pile of work that’s not done, and then there’s this blog that I wanted to finish. Did I mention it’s already after 6 pm, and I’ve been working all day? Did I finish packing yet?

Maybe I’ll just take that one thing with me to work on at the airport. The thought floats above my head as I stare at my computer screen- 25 tabs open. My chest tightens, and I get that overwhelmed feeling that has become my new normal. Nope. Not this time. I’ll write the blog when I get home. I’ll have my meetings because that’s what I do on Monday nights, but I’ll get the rest done when I get back. It will still be there. It will ALL still be there. The world isn’t going to stop spinning because I didn’t get a draft done.

So if you’re reading this, thank you. I’m in Malaysia enjoying my vacation not thinking about blogs or meetings or deadlines…at least for a few days.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Take a breath, take a break. It’s going to be ok. #SameHere
