I have just moved into a new home, and it is taking up quite a bit of my time and most of my energy. In fact, most of my weekly actions for the past few weeks, and probably for several more weeks to come, have consisted almost entirely of “house” stuff and related actions.
We all know how draining moving can be, even when you are excited about it. I am finding that when I do have a few minutes to myself, all I want to do is sprawl on my couch and veg out in front of my TV for some mindless down time. I admit to having been less than enthusiastic about participating in the weekly success calls these past couple of weeks…. The motivation factor to get things done, and list more things to get done was pretty weak.
But, I am glad that I have followed through anyway, and persevered in getting through most of the things on my lists. Not only am I accomplishing things that could easily be put off or fall through the cracks, and not only am I helping myself to get through the transition of moving into a new place more quickly, but I always feel better after meeting with my success group on our calls. I come away feeling more energized, more optimistic about the actions I have set for the coming week, and generally better about myself and what I am accomplishing than I would if I had bailed out and just laid around on the couch. So even though I am not always “feeling it”, I push through anyway, and am always better off for it.
