Today, I’m taking the day off for some me time. Well, other than my scheduled shoot tonight. I know I’ve been tossing around the idea of having more discipline with a more regular work schedule. Balancing work and personal life has always been a huge challenge that I have yet to conquer. Running a business and being your own boss sometimes means there is no concrete beginning and no concrete end of a day. There are a lot of times I take work to bed with me. Literally, I’ll be in bed with my laptop, and soon this will lead to an affair with my laptop.
It’s a harsh truth I’m realizing after last night having fainted in the bathroom at a braves game. Good thing it was the 755 club bathroom, or I don’t think I would have ever recovered from having my face smashed against those other awful bathroom floors. Of course, minutes later I picked myself back up and felt perfectly fine and was confused to why a group of women were huddled around me with way too many questions about whether I had too much to drink or if I was pregnant. They proceeded to wipe away my cold sweat and didn’t leave until the EMT arrived. Real motherly women. It was altogether strange and embarrassing having that much attention on me. I’m not sure what’s the cause of it, but I’m convinced that either way I need to live a more balanced life and have a healthier lifestyle.
Coincidentally, I’m in book three of Eat Pray Love, where Liz Gilbert is looking for balance in Bali, and I was going to blog about how interesting I found her journey to be. I’m looking for a different kind of balance, but balance all the same. I’m almost finished so that I can watch the movie!
So yeah, today I am giving my mind and body some rest. Starting with prayer and meditation and a balanced breakfast. Maybe I’ll catch up on reading some books. Watch a little tv. And perhaps take a walk around the neighborhood if it’s not too hot. Maybe, the hubby and I will even go on a date after the shoot.
