I got lost in a big pile of LIfe!

The last post I made was 17 days ago! What happened?

I sat down yesterday and made an inventory and decided I just got lost in a big pile of Life!

When I list it on paper it really doesn't seem like a lot but I think what happens is I take each of these things and add a list of things on top of it and that is what becomes overwhelming to the point of sitting in front of my computer and staring at it instead of getting stuff done.

This has been my pattern. This is why I started writing this blog. Because I get caught up in life just like everyone else and consequently I let the one thing go that is most important to me... My Health!

I was up until 1am last night but before I went to bed I meditated on the good things I have in my life and the calm and determination I need to get the things done (Life), I need to. And Presto Chango... I woke up that way this morning.

In Wayne Dyers book Wishes Fulfilled, he devotes a whole chapter on what to do before going to sleep and without even thinking about that last night I did it and woke up feeling so much better today!

The last 17 days I spent worrying about my kid, a potential job, my business, moving to a new apartment, how I was going to manage all of that financially and have the time to do it all. Then I added a list to all of those items and placed a lot of worry on each of those.

Today I woke up thankful for everything and everyone in my life and although most of that list still exists I don't feel a tinge of worry about any of them. They are all happening but I am still here and all the good things in my life are here too!

At times you may get caught up in all the worries of "Life" but take some time right before you go to sleep and think about everything and everyone you are thankful for, imagine yourself calm and determined to get at everything on your list and maybe, just maybe you will wake up the next day... where you want to be!

Health and Happiness!

Sincerely,
Bill
