Saturday morning, when there is less noise and traffic outside my basement library window and instead nature in the sound of birds chirping, is always a good time to reassess where I currently stand in my life, and contemplate what I have to change. I have found that, unless I do this, my life continues in on its "comfort zone cushion" and is neither truly exciting, accomplished, but just ordinary (for me) and, if I'm not careful, I start "slipping" towards extremities I'd rather not entertain.
-- My health: I have a health coach that I report to when I am regimented in my exercise. When not, I don't report because I am wasting both of our times. The coach does respond if I reach out in times of my laziness, but our discussions don't bear rich fruit they would if I were following a daily schedule of healthy eating and exercise. And that brings, has "delivered" me, to where I am now: 225 - 230 pounds, but not a healthy 225 - 230. Truth be told, a recent pulled muscle has curtailed my physical activity, but still I didn't need to pair this with what I call "instant gratification junk food eating." Also, since I am now 57 and soon-to-be a 23-year heart attack survivor...what in the world am I thinking?! Do we have anything in common here? I think the reader and I know the next step. -- My work: The universe has transported me back into the full-time freelance writing world, and I have a swath of work embraces my desk. I have a busy life, and sometimes that busyness for some reason encourages procrastination. Not good. Funny thing, when I don't kick back and put the feet up -- which, by the way, I don't discourage; I'm just talking about overdoing it -- and get my writings done per deadline, more work opportunities are deposited into my "Current Assignments" folder. Not only that, I am happy, and so are my editors. The above two areas of my life, as I head into the second third of 2019, I will monitor more closely. Better yet, I will "live" the proper steps and partner this with the monitoring. Steve
