#Word Vomit Wednesdays 38 FINDING YOUR CENTER
I know I know, getting pretty slack, but I’ve been busy, promise....
This week’s topic: FINDING YOUR CENTER
So I was asked how do I balance my world, how do I find my balance? Well, the short answer is: I don’t. Life just chucks stuff at me until I let go of said stuff. I often feel like a full jug, and any new idea that comes in just spills some water. The problem is I often forget where the water is coming from.
To take the most obvious example; I didn’t do a vomit on Wednesday because I was too busy applying for a job, going to life group and being sick. Missing Wednesday Vomits is a penny drop, but there are times when I drop the cake too...
I often regret dropping the cake with friends. And I mean, I actually forgot about someone’s dinner invitation until 90 minutes past the start... It was so heinous a crime; I never got another chance to make penance... And that’s why I never give definitive answers.
Hope you enjoyed the useless sidetrack!
Let’s go back to finding your center!
It starts with cleaning. I usually realize I’m a mess around 1am, because frankly, why the hell am I up doing nothing productive at 1am?! That’s when I decide to physically clean myself up: which is my room/house. I might mop, vacuum, wipe down, organise and generally throw junk out of my life.
A clean room is a clean mind, don’t ask me why.
After that’s sorted, I make a list, a simple To Do list. Not super prioritized, and in no particular time frame. Then I go ahead and complete the ones that are simple but easy to procrastinate.
Xingtip: Getting a victory in early keeps the momentum rolling.
Once I’m well on my way down the list and hitting the really hard tasks that take days to complete or rely on other people/certain timing, I will go ahead and ask myself the deep questions. Why am I doing all these things, and what do I really want to achieve out of all this?
I never really solve the question, but it keeps me centered on the direction my life is headed.
