Back to work

Yep! After the Christmas and New Year break, I’m back in work.

To be honest, the ‘break’ was actually two little breaks. From Christmas Eve until the Wednesday after Christmas, and from New Year’s Eve until today. I suppose I should really describe it as two long weekends rather than a break, as I was in work between the two weekends.

Not that you could call it work. I had nothing to do for the days in between, and nothing to do today either. I’ll have to see if tomorrow and Friday will be the same, but I have a feeling it will be. Still, I have a meeting to look forward to tomorrow… It all passes the time however, and before I know it, I’ll be enjoying the weekend again.

Doing nothing in work has given me an ideal opportunity to think about what I want to do. I very often find myself thinking this, but usually when I am feeling flustered or bored, so I am not in the correct mindset to generate the correct feelings within me to see myself having, being or doing what I want.

Although I didn’t feel flustered or bored today, and I realised I had the ideal opportunity to visualise my future, I didn’t use the time. I didn’t take the chance I was given to see myself in my new job, or driving my new car, or sailing on my luxury yacht, or writing my next best selling novel. I failed to set the wheels in motion for some of the great things that I feel I want to have to come to me. I also didn’t envisage an easy journey home when I finished work tonight, and ended up being caught in the tail-end of accident traffic. As soon as I had got to the place where the accident had occurred, the area was clear. Although the roads were still busy.

Waiting in the traffic queue was another wasted opportunity. I didn’t use this time wisely either. So, I have had ample time today to begin to plan at least one thing that I want in my life. No need to go overboard – one thing to change is not too much to ask. I could have decided what I needed to do, where I needed to go, how much I needed to spend (or save) – but I didn’t do anything. I really need to start acting on some of the things I write about in this blog, otherwise I’ll still be writing about my dreams in ten year’s time, rather than living them.

To be honest, I want to be writing about living at least three of my dreams in one year’s time. So, my task is set. I must first be specific about what I want. I need to look at my dreams, and choose three which are achievable within a year. I need to go back to work – on myself – and look at ways how I can get myself closer to my dream. Look at what I need and see myself getting the help, the money, the time, the inspiration, the energy, the focus, the health, the rest, the coincidences and whatever else I need to get there. It can be done. I can do it.

So, what do I want? I’ll start work on that right now. There’s no time like the present!
