Welcome! Welcome!
Today I woke up awfully sick and sore and exhausted. Sore throat, headache, brain fog. This all because I decided I had earned some fun time New Years Eve, and that I could do it all on low sleep and poor diet choices. Oh well, lesson learned! Today I want to focus on relaxing and allowing myself to let go of what I had planned for today, since I obviously have a limited supply of energy to get it done with. I am picking ONE thing, instead of the ...50 I had planned or whatever. One thing, that way if all else fails, it was a productive day!
I’m picking several resolutions this year, mostly having to do with skill set development and daily behavior. I’ve borrowed several books on finances and marketing, and I plan on learning some development languages as well as starting some heavier social media content behaviors to grow my personal brand. “It’s all very technical,” I’d like to say, but it seems this is just what people have to do these days to equip themselves for the future that’s coming. No more “hard work,” just “smart” work, whatever that means.
But really, I have been working too hard instead of smart, thinking that everything my parents did to survive still works. My bio dad thought that doing something you didn’t really enjoy to pay the bills was just the way of the world, but that turned out wrong very quickly in my line of work, and now I’m paying for it in my current situation, where I have no skill sets that belong to financially stable markets in today’s world. I’m a “customer service” guy in a world where customer service is probably the least valued work above manual labor. Especially in retail, which is my strongest suit on paper. Anyways, the last few days I’ve been busy(hence the disappearing act) reading and learning, and trying to develop a solid plan for what I want to work on the next few months. Today, however, is more about sharing and coexisting, since I’m low on brain fuel and still don’t have paid work. I encourage you all to take it slow and easy! It’s just Monday, and we’ll have plenty more of those, and this year is bound to have tougher ones than this. After all I read in energy predictions/tarot/horoscopic stuff, 2017 is bound to be bipolar, but it’s more about learning how to still that angry rebellious side that’s excited to come out, now that we’re listening to ourselves again. Anger is great for fueling internal motivation, but if not used properly, external conflict gets messy very quickly. Learn to breathe through it and realize not everyone has lived the life you were given. Your life is a gift, and so are the experiences that come with it. As such, not everyone will see it from your point of view, and not everyone will appreciate it either. Just think about how your anger can be best used, in more of a strategic sense. If that makes any sense, haha. Have a good day :)
