I'm up early, nervous, chewing on Pepto-Bismal, both excited about new projects that are either going well, or just starting yet worried over old projects I should probably just let go of. But it can be so hard. There is so much fear and reluctance to let go of something I've put so much work into, that I've made new friends with, that I'm very proud of - or at least certain aspects of. Yes it's a challenge.
On a purely happy note I can check another item off my list of resolutions for the New Year! I learned how to use my digital camera and upload photos. Above is a current "visual affirmation" list I'm creating for myself, an exercise to help me expand my emotional slice of pie. I am trying to let go of the idea that I must always be a workaholic and can instead enjoy greater domestic comfort and serenity. This is a big deal for me, it's just not something I've even been able to contemplate again until very recently, and to be honest, it's not an idea I've ever been that comfortable with. Work has always come first for me, even when (years ago) it was work I hated.
Thankfully now I have work I so love, but it's still easy to push oneself too hard in that direction and not realize how you're using up precious resources.
