Yuk, ughh, uhn, blah. Yup, I think those are them. Those are the four adjectives that describe the way I feel today. Exactly and perfectly. Not exactly bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
Luckily for me, today I am on an all-day-long coffee break. I was away from the home office (that’s the home and the office both, since they are the same place for me) all day yesterday doing some pretty fun stuff. My riding buddy and I hauled our horses up to Grand Junction, CO for a reining lesson yesterday. Had a blast and a half. Then I stayed in town with another friend and rode horses some more, ran errands, went to a wine-tasting and had more fun. Then back home for dinner and a movie with the love of my life, Alan.
Needless to say, I might have guessed at the bad hair day coming down the pike after such a fab day! This morning I was awoken with a phone call of things going wrong with one of my bizness’s. An internet connection down, some orders that glitched in the system, just some usual workaday stuff but I was hoping to sleep in. Oh well, I got it all fixed in a semi-bleary state then sat down for some cocoa (and gathering of wits about me).
Never did get much in the way of wit-gathering done, but the good news is that I don’t really have to. I’m a firm believer these days of working when the inspiration strikes (as our spiritual teacher Abraham-Hicks is fond of emphasizing). Working from negative or low energy produces poor results indeed (least in my experience) so I don’t tend to. So today I’m picking up some odds and ends in the office, doing laundry, sitting in the sun, and reading my favorite author, Dick Francis. Do I worry that I’m not working? No. Two days ago I wrote four articles to be posted next week for our article campaign, did gobs of work for other clients, and was basically a lean, mean, MLM machine. So I took yesterday off, and today, too. I know that my brain can’t stand being in low gear for too long so no doubt I’ll be hard at it in a day or two. We’ll see. When the inspiration hits to work, I’ve learned to drop everything and go with it (being my own boss has it’s advantages (like working just 5 feet away from the fridge!).
So I don’t feel guilty because I know that I’ll feel like working again soon. The other reason? I’ve learned to automate things so my internet presence works for me even when I’m feeling blah. My articles are out there promoting the business. The shopping carts are taking orders. Even this blog lets me connect with you — when the time is right for you. And my internet system is tracking all of our new efforts so that when I do stop feeling blah, I can go in and see what’s working and what’s not. Gotta love it!
Well, off to more proverbial coffee-breaking in the sun with a great Dick Francis book…
