Breathing out, I smile – Bringing ZEN to the life of a DFW

Glad you had some thinking time. It is clear you are bright and don't need much!!!!

Well done on job transfer and on the watchers on fleabay. Hooray.

I will try to match up the exercises. Blood sugars are still playing up so incapable of much thought. So what's new!!!

Anyway have a good night and hope to catch up with you tomorrow.

And yet another day is coming to an end. And I am exhausted. I really need to figure out why I am this tired after doing reviews all day. It happens every month. DD is out of sorts especially as I insisted that she was to wash herself. She had an accident. Anyway, she has now cleaned herself, is getting dressed and I have tea on the go.

So unfortunately nothing wise or inspiring from me today.

I got a new disk for MS10 and I am intending to install it today. Also I am going to attempt to get some money back from the Windows 7 stuff that I ended up not needing. And finally try to find a picture for my animal blog. Sorry won’t link it here as I am going to do it as my real self; my personal blog is linked to my profile here. Oh and DW and WM need to go on. And that is it for tonight. If I achieve all those I will be thrilled.

I hope DD is ok.

Dont worry about doing too much. In fact do v little and rest. Sometimes that is what is needed.

I had all these grand plans on the way home and I fell asleep soon after I arrived.

I haven't been on Firewalker's blog for a while, I will check both out v soon. Have a good night dear Marru.

The good:

Wahoo – first round of the reviews at work are done.

I have come up with lots and lots of ideas for making little income streams that might even grow into bigger ones.

I have had six NSDs this month, might get a seventh before the weekend is over

The super duper “change your life” teleseminar starts on Monday

DW has been on today

The bad:

I am trying to figure out where my money has gone this year. I have still quite a lot that hasn’t been accounted for. Will make a conscious effort to keep up-to-date weekly and play catch up even if just 15 minutes per day for the older stuff. I need this information to get a proper budget going

I have run out of money already this month, however I will get more next week and also when I get my expenses paid. So I had to borrow some money from BF to pay for a MOT tomorrow.

WM hasn’t been on for ages, I am afraid DD is running out of clean clothes – must remedy the situation asap

And the ugly

Are the ugly frogs sitting in my to-do list. If you don’t know what I am talking about then have a look at THIS. There are two especially nasty ones that really would make a huge difference to me if I could get them done. So watch this place.

Brilliant! Thanks for helping me just Marru. Am better now. Going to see Jane Eyre tomorrow even better it is with Janet and Erika! yay!

Here is the fourth dimension to the little exercise earlier. You know what you want, you know that that is what you really want to do on your perfect day and you know that it will make your and your family’s life tick better. It is all compatible, all clear, ready to go. What now? The day to day life kicks in, the old taught patterns kick in, the old habits kick in.

Are you thinking that you are too tired to do something or too old or too young or do you think that you are stuck where you are and that there is no way out? How much your thoughts contribute (or more likely – not) to your dreams and your aims. What little habit or internal talk are you willing to change today to reap the benefits tomorrow?

I have now list of eight things that I could do to generate income meaning that eventually I would be my own boss. But what have I done so far? I have told myself that I can’t do this, I don’t have experience of this, people won’t make me seriously if I try this. So I shall go and have a little chat with myself about these thoughts and also I am going to make one very important phone call next week to get one of those things moving. Yes it is scary but the worst thing that can happen is if the lady in the other end thinks: “What a plonker” and nothing comes out of it. At least I won’t be spending rest of my life thinking – what if?

I went out today and watched people on the same old hamster wheel. Some of it i like but i like to think i like some change. It will only happen if I make it happen so I am going to have to try your approach.

I have been reading today about Activity Illusion. About how we waste time in unimportant tasks. Especially email was highighted as the biggest culprit. The blaim is not so much the technology itself but the way we use it.

I was quite pleased to realise that I am not the worst of the worst. I don't jump to check my mails at work when the message notice flashes in the bottom corner. I always finish what ever task I am dong before checking if there is something that I need to action on. Also I only keep items on my inbox that need to be actioned on. Everything else either get replied straight away or filed away (if they were only sent for information).

One thing I would like to get implemented in my work place is a code to the subject that would tell us if the message is for action, for general information or specific information relating to the task at hand. If I get a chance to have a chat with our FD tomorrow about other things I might mention it to her.

Anyway. Lots of excitement over my first attempt on selling in fleabay. Listed 8 items, sold 3. Not too bad. However after fees there is not much left but as they say: "every little helps".

And what also helps is that car passed its MOT yesterday, no work needed to be done :jSo I went to do some clothes shopping but more about that tomorrow.

I went on about a bit in my blog today. I might need to re-read and edit it with fresh brain tomorrow.
