So...It is the first of the year and I am thinking about HOW I am going to add energy to my life this year as my ONE WORD for 2015 is ENERGY. I know this... I need to start with follow through. Don't get me wrong...I am very responsible and make sure that things get done. I always try to give over 100% whenever possible. The thing that I am noticing is that I give 100% to my teaching and preparation for my students as a teacher, but I do not really give 100% to life. What life? Time reading, time with my wife, time with family, time working out, time writing, and so on. I know...Time does not take energy. That is my issue. I don't give the time because I don't want to give half-way! I want to give with energy. So this means I give less and less time because I am "not in the mood" to give the energy to make things count as they should.
I decided to make a list of Helpful tips for myself...to follow. Sounds stupid? I am not sure. Maybe. I am a list person...so this might be what I need to start thinking about it. Therapy in a list. That is what I need. For tonight anyway!
* Make routines again and make sure that you start with ONE thing at a time.
* DO NOT stop from doing something because you don't feel that the energy is there...the energy might actually be there!
* Be patient. Just because 100% is not available, doesn't mean that 70% is a failure!
* Celebrate the small steps!
* Enjoy the journey!
* DO NOT celebrate the failures!
Well, here it goes. We will see how these small steps help me to focus on my journey towards energy. I am not planning on failing. 70% sounds like failure, but I need to re-start somewhere.
Peace.
Mark
