Taking time to Evaluate

When things are going well I am always flying high and happy. But when things are not going so well I get frustrated and grouchy. Earlier last week while journaling I started pondering why that is and wondering why I couldn’t take it patiently when things didn’t go as planned.

Those times seem to always bring the most learning and productivity.

I had to think of Eragon, (has anyone read those books?) and I thought it wouldn’t hurt to exercise that idea of sitting and observing with no judgment and no high awareness on many one thing. But to quietly pay attention to everything at the same time.

Than later that week I had the opportunity. I had a day that I was thinking I need to get a few extra hours in to catch up on my work for that week. But of course nothing was working out, and after a few hours I still didn’t have anything completed.

So I dropped everything and went outside to work on my south garden. Later I went for a hike in the rain with Jared. And would you believe it? We came up with a great idea for moving forward in both of our companies.

That idea in itself was enough of a success for the whole day.

Moral of the story… Take a break from focusing on details when it’s not working and get out in the fresh air. It does wonders for us.
