It's my day off. I am having mild anxiety. Why?
First, I intuitively know that I won't be able to do all I want to do today. I won't be able to relax "enough" to compensate for the last 60 days of incredibly intense work. No way can that amount of relaxation be crammed into 1 day.
I want to read Huckleberry Finn. I want to play guitar. I want to organize the hotel room. I want to sit and enjoy a 2 hour breakfast. I want to take a nap. I want to pursue a job in the non-profit field. I want to work at my house and get that figured out. I want to call my dad. I want to watch a movie. I want to walk 2 miles. I really wanna run 5 miles. I want to soak in the hot tub. I want to write a blog post about anxiety. I want to make another entry into my State Farm journal. Gee whiz……and that is just the beginning…..
Jeremy once said to me, "The next 90 days are going to pass. Whether you want them to or not, they will. The question you have to ask yourself is, what do you want to accomplish in the next 90 days? Break it down into a 90 day segment, and then do it 1 day at a time."
Jeff said to me, "At the end of next year, when you turn around and look back, what story do you want to tell? Do you want to be a better salesman? Do you want to be a better manager? Do you want to be a better dad? Find out what you want to say about yourself in 12 months and then go do that."
I already feel a little bit better…..just by writing this out…..more to come….
