Well, the long weekend went by quickly....too quickly for my taste, but one cannot stop time from marching on and here we are at Monday again. It's always an adjustment after daylight savings for it to still be so dark in the morning. I have to get use that, the same as getting use to still being light outside after dinner. Ah, well. I had a really nice weekend and managed to balance both productivity and relaxation, which was one of my goals. I definitely do not feel like I wasted my time. Sure, I probably could have done more, but I did enough and that works for me!
I felt very much in control of things this weekend. I was not on anyone's deadline but my own. I was able to get things done at my own pace and I found that in doing so, my energy maintained a good level. I was not completely exhausted all of the time. Yes, I did take a few naps but still felt very refreshed most of the day. I need to figure out how to bring that kind of feeling to the weekday workday. While I recognize that work is going to be stressful on occasion, it does not have to be that way all of the time. I look back over the past few weeks at the incidents at work that stressed me out and now all I can really do is laugh over it. Why I let things get to me sometimes I have no clue. It's human nature, though, and cannot always be escaped. Still, I want to be more in control of how I feel at work. I know that I can do that, I just have to pay more attention to myself and my surroundings.
I feel like I'm much more productive at work when I am in a better mood. Of course, we are all that way. I would just like to be that way more often. I love what I do and the people I work for and with. If I can feel like I'm making a difference, which is our motto by the way, it will make for a better working experience and that will flood over into all aspects of life. Let's see how it goes. Wish me luck!
