Well…back to feeling alive again. I’ve been trying to limit my alcohol intake, because I am trying to keep my head and body clearer these days. I am really not a hard alcohol/shot person, and as much fun as I had with the margharitas during cinco de mayo, I will be sticking to beer and wine, for the simple reason that it’s easier to keep track of what I’m drinking, and I enjoy the feel of drinking those considerably more.
I have also been feeling a bit anxious about the next few months. The initial excitement of becoming a teacher has now turned into the practical logistics of leaving my job, filling my time off, getting in my paperwork, trying to plan a trip to London and Israel for weddings this Aug., and still gearing up for the summer.
Tonight has turned into a perfect night of good music and time to organize a range of to-do lists. On the list are daily routines that I’m hoping to adhere to, simple things, making lunch in the evening for the next day, journal writing in the morning, cup of tea to wind down the night.
I often overwhelm myself w/ thoughts of what could be done, but now I think I’ve simplified things to what I plan to get done. Part of this involves going to bed with a clear head, and waking up focussed for today. As next year throws teaching and grad school my way, I will have to rely on keeping things organized, balanced, and in a healthy routine more than ever.
Will I make mistakes and mess up? Yes. Will I disappoint myself at times, sure. But if I can refocus, I can hopefully minimize things in life that unecessarily weigh my mind down.
