Vision Quest Chronicles #4: Excitement Leads to Fatigue

Welcome to the Chronicles! Thanks so much to those of you who have shared your experience strength and hope around living your Visions!

So today was a BIG day…got up early, ate while getting my taxes ready to be mailed off. Prepared for a board meeting downtown…found out meeting was cancelled…went to post office…made what was to be a short to-do list that included a revision of the survey I’m working on to collect data for the book I’m writing on women living their Visions…decided to do the work stuff quickly and devote real time to the Vision…then got calls and emails asking for stuff on the paying part of my Vision (work side of the house) got all worked up and excited about that! Responded to it. Okay by now it is 8:30 p.m. and I’m TIRED! What the heck??!#^%#?

When my day started I promised myself I would move through my tasks mindfully and calmly. That lasted about half and hour. I revved my engine too high all day and was spent! I put it in park for the evening around 9:00 to eat dinner and watch Oliver Stone’s “W”. I did not even look at the survey.

Someone told me once that you should work on your Vision FIRST not last. We tend to do that and it does not seem to work, at least it didn’t work for me today. I am really too tired to think clearly now. Maybe I will find something in my dreams.
