I had a really good day yesterday, both at work and within myself, until later in the day/evening. I went into my office to start doing my VAT and really couldn’t be bothered. I noticed I had a slight headache and wasn’t feeling great. I explained to my wife how I couldn’t be bothered with doing the VAT and that whilst feeling like that I should leave it alone, so I did. I went and had a long hot bath. Normally I would push through regardless. I’m glad I didn’t because I’m pretty sure I avoided a tipping point in my mood. Looking back I would normally of forced myself to get on with the VAT sand ended up stressed, tired and nosediving. This morning I’m feeling quite relaxed and good again, not too high. I think I’m lucky that I’ve avoided a huge mood crash and a day or two of depression and worry. It’s difficult to know when instinct is instinct and not laziness. Instinct is always right with me, but when it’s laziness I end up stressed because of putting things off.
Today is another great day for getting on with things and I’ve promised myself that if I feel good when I get in I will start my VAT, even if I don’t finish it. Luckily I steer clear of coffee now or I would of drank strong coffee last night and forced myself into my office. What a difference some clear thinking can provide! I’m still yet to start my list of goals in life, family, business etc, but I will. In fact I will start now.
