What Rejuvenates You?

As I stare at the computer screen before me, my tired eyes squint because it's taking my utmost effort to concentrate. Sometimes the letters blur in and out of focus as my eyelids attempt to close. I'm not giving in, but I've gotta tell you, it's hard. And coffee isn't enough to help this time.

Recently, my family and I have had some good things happen to us, which has been a much-needed happiness booster. Yet, like so many things, there's the high.... and then the crash. Last week was amazing. And I'm still happy, but the lethargy is starting to creep in again. There is a tiredness in my bones. My adrenaline sustained me for awhile, but it's flagging now.

Finding Me

Yesterday, I discussed some of the reasons behind my decision to start working with a life coach. The question then becomes, how is it going? (After all, it is a work in progress, as are most things.)  The answer?

It's awesome.

I've only been coaching for roughly a couple of months, and in that time, I've noticed some BIG changes in myself.

Running on Empty

"Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels

I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels...

Running on, running on empty,

Running on, running blind,

Running on, running into the sun

But I'm running behind."

--"Running on Empty", Jackson Browne

Anna has one of those drawing pads with the special pen where you draw a picture or write something and then you can slide a little bar across the bottom, erase it, and start over.

You too can own this doodle pad

That’s a good metaphor for my to-do list.  Just when I have that feeling of accomplishment, having finished a project or task, it seems to get wiped out and immediately replaced by something else. Sometimes, it’s nearly impossible to keep up with it.
