Ten Minutes

I am learning the Art of Meditation. Today I had 10 minutes left on my lunch break so I decided to just sit and meditate in my car before going back in the building. The morning had been very hectic and noisy so I was glad to have some quiet time. I set my alarm on my cell phone for 10 minutes and closed my eyes. I had a hard time clearing my mind of work items but soon my mind was clear and I just relaxed. It was wonderful. However, I started to get antsy and since it felt like 10 minutes had passed I wondered if my cell alarm had been set wrong. I opened my eyes to check and was shocked to see that only 3 minutes had passed. Time apparently slows down when you are not busy.

Find My Zen in 2010

This is my theme for the year. Each year I like to come up with a theme for the year and yes it has to rhyme with the name of the year. It was hard coming up with a theme for 2010. There are not very many rhyming words for ten. My first thought was Let's Try Again in 201o. 2009 was a tough year so it would have worked. Then I came up with Zen. Since one of my resolutions is to find more peace and more energy this year I thought it fit quite well.

Sunshine On My Shoulders

Apparently that is what I need. I found out two days ago that my Vitamin D levels are extremely low. The prescription 50,000 IU of Vitamin D every other day and lots of sunshine. It is a sign that I spend too much time indoors. My cortisol levels are also extremely high. The prescription for this is less stress and more relaxation time. Hmm, I think I need to book a trip to a nice sunny beach somewhere. Anyone want to join me!

Too Many Changes

May as well change everything in my life all at once. I moved to a new apartment, a new office building and I received a promotion to Manager for my department all within a month. Although all of these changes were good I think it was a little too much for my system. I am starting to break down more and more when I get home at night. I come home and just crash. I am still trying to unpack at my apartment as well as at my new office. I hope things calm down soon.

Moving Day Again?

I just moved to my new apartment and now I am packing again. This time I am packing my office. We are moving to a new building. Another fast move. We found out two weeks ago. I am excited about this move. I will be 12 minutes from my apartment. No more freeway commuting. It is going to be a lot of work but it will be a good move for my company.

Whistle While You Work

Moving Day is here! I took the afternoon off and went home to finish packing before my brothers came to help me move. I remembered how much I hate packing and moving. We rented a small U-Haul and everyone came to help me move. It took three trips but I am finally in my apartment. Now I need to start unpacking.
