For the past two days, I have allowed myself to be really lazy. Huh? No, that is not part of the plan. But it did me well. I have been under the weather for some time now and I have not had the chance to rest till yesterday. By the time my obligations at the office were finish, the new year preparations set-in not allowing me for a breather.
Yesterday, I begged off a visit to relatives in Pampanga and spent the whole day sleeping. It was not easy for me to rest. As I have already mentioned in a previous post. But yesterday, I permitted myself to doze the day off and just rest my tired body against my bed.
Today, despite my plan to go to the office for a head start at work, I decided to just stay home. You know what I found out? It has been common for me to plan to do things in the office when I am at home and plan things to do at home when I am in the office. And when I get stuck to that feeling of wanting to be in another place and start something there, I get paralyzed and not do anything at all when there is a lot to be done in where I am at the moment. No wonder I specialize in planning and not executing!
But today, after that realization, I threw that disposition out of the window and did the things I need to do at home instead. Tomorrow is office day... and I'll do what I have to when I get there. As for today, I wrote my journals, spent time with my sister and my brother who's celebrating his 20th birthday and had my nails done. Things I'd be guilty spending too much time with when it's time to work.
That's it. I feel guilty snatching time from my work doing personnal matters but do not feel guilty robbing my personal time in favor of my work.
This year, I will try to put more personal time into my life. I have made arrangements with a hairstylist (by the way, I am sporting a new hairstyle - ; ) will post as soon as I get a good shot ) and a manicurist to disturb me when I become too busy. I have also planned to finally get rid of my 42 hours remaining massage from slimmer's world within the year.
Check, please cooperate this time... please please....
