Better than OK today
The morning started off kind of odd. I canceled an event due to weather and had made alternate plans for the day. However, the weather turned out better than thought and I started to feel that my alternate plans were a mistake. I had made an appointment with a realtor this morning to look at a house and started thinking I should have made the appointment for tomorrow so I could hike today. I also planned on going in to work today to take care of a couple of things, and thought maybe I could put that off til tomorrow. Because the weather was so nice, I wanted to take a hike today because tomorrow the weather is going to be "iffy." This made me anxious about work because when I thought about the things I need to address I felt overwhelmed. So what did I do? I met with the realtor and was glad I did. It was good for my wife and I to meet this realty team and talk about what we want with our next house, which we plan to shop for next year. I then hiked. On the trail I thought about a lot of things, such as the house and work. Regarding work I thought about the things I need to do, and how my tendency toward all or nothing thinking drives a lot of my feelings of being overwhelmed. I really only have a few things to do. I cataloged what I need to do and realized that I can get it all done in a couple of hours. I'll have plenty of time tomorrow to do what I need. After the hike, and before this blog entry, I took the time to review some essays I have in my app related to work. It helped.
