It's a TEST!

It's the first day of May and a great day to do a necessary thing- check in with yourself. This is something you should do often. If you made any "resolutions" or goals you need to see where you are at on them and have you maybe slipped? Its ok- you're getting right back on it now.
April was super busy with work-traveling to Idaho and jumping right back into work when I returned. So much work that I got stressed and I got sick (endo is affected by stress, yay) and some things fell by the wayside...
One was my gym routine which I sorely miss as a part of my health care and mental health boost.
The other was my reading- one book a month was my loose goal and I missed a whole month.
I did a little socializing in the midst of all the work and that is GOOD but it was also stressing me out because I was behind on projects. I feel like a hundred distractions keep me from getting stuff done daily. I'm a person who needs to get in their zone and knowing I have to stop down to meet up or run an errand or go attend to something else- it just kills my momentum and I can't get into workflow. Its something I need to work on.
A lot of the problem is ME and my scheduling- I need to do food preps on Sunday so I'm not stopping every day to do that while I'm working and really cracking down on my workday being MY WORKDAY. 
The other thing that took second seat this past month was MY personal work and business. So Im up at 4:00 am trying to get a jump on the day and everything that needs to get done.

One thing I have to remember when life gets busy like this is the old "take time to smell the roses" saying... or in my case "take time to spot a mushroom". Life is NOT all work and no play- even when you're madly chasing your rent money down.
So more reading, exercising and enjoying the little things is where I find myself today. Lets start the month reclaiming our goals.
