I wish I'd gone to yoga today. It would have been a more productive, focused day. This is why routine and ritual is so helpful. Keeping things moving forward.
Instead, I had what I'll call a stagnant day. A lost day. Wasted. And full of unease because of it.
Unease. I looked it up and it's basically anxiety. I'm panicking over this consultancy I've launched. I don't have a pipeline of projects and I'm still far too broad in my interest areas, not having set a specific focus and speciality. I'm scared that the work won't come. That it won't come at a good enough pace. That the work I have will dwindle away as my clients run out of project funds.
None of this serves me.
I have a quote on my wall in front of me right now:
Worry invests in something you don't want to happen. Invest in something else.
Tomorrow there will be exercise to focus my brain and find my breath. Tomorrow I will make a plan for the week ahead - one that is immediately actionable and will lead to future projects. And tomorrow I will enjoy the snow day with my kids that it seems we're going to wake up to.
Suck it Unease. I don't have time for you.
