We all get them from time to time, and while they are not the most enjoyable, they must be necessary because they happen to everyone. I'm talking of course about those days or weeks that suck the motivation out of you. Procrastination become paramount. Mental blocks abound. Anxiety levels are off the charts and we can't forget the occasional ride on the trusty "Bi-Polar Coaster".
I apologize to you because this week has been one for me. Lots of thinking about the future and wondering what is going on. The time old question of , "What the heck am I doing with my life?" and "What am I gonna do when I grow up?" come to mind frequently. Of course, I tried to take my mind off it by trying to compose. HA! You can guess how that turned out. I have been blank in the head all week and just thought you should know. Heck, I couldn't bring myself to type a short blog to say I didn't forget you! I guess I'm one of those guys who likes to have a plan, although its seems like its hardly ever been the case, and I just can't get it together. At least, thats how it feels..
Perhaps, its just a bit of impatience. It's been known to happen. Maybe its fear. Fear of different things.... Failing. Success. The Unknown of what lies ahead. I think its that I'm really ready to move to the next level, and while there are lots of "potential" leads and thoughts of a better tomorrow, its hard not to wonder when. Then the brain takes over, spinning everything all over, creating insomnia, nausea and a dismal look of disdain in the mirror.
I think I'm coming out if it. If anything, I've learned that while its really not enjoyable to have these moments, they are a necessary evil. The natural response for me is to fight it, which seems to make it worse. So then you feel crappy, mentally and physically for a few days or more. But once you decide to let it pass, it passes and you can begin positive thinking again. Thats where I am today. I just wanted to share that with you...kinda like therapy I suppose.
So, it's Friday. I'm ready for the weekend. Going out for sushi tonight with my sister and brother-in-law. Going to see about getting a new pair of glasses, get a lottery ticket and watch the rest of my NCAA Bracket explode before my eyes! ;) You all take care and I'll see you tomorrow... I think I see normal in front of me.
