I must admit, for the last few months, I have been guilty of working too hard on my internet marketing plans to make money online! Working all day and all night and more work on week-ends! I cannot help it! I like it so much… and I’m a little bit obsessed with trying to know everything. There is so much to learn, it is really easy to lose the well-balanced life.
However, I need time to rest, a day off or take a vacation once in a while. Generally, people don’t suffer resting. They welcome it with open arms! Me on the other hand, has difficulties taking a break… because, of my perception. The perception of somebody who is obsessed like me is… It is never done! I have to keep going! Keep going until what… ???
I have to accept the fact that it’s true… It will never be done! There so much to do. In a heart beat, I can make a list of 20 things I would want to do in the next 24 hours for this blog. When these 20 things will be finished, I will make a new list of 20 things that will follow theses first actions. It is a never ending story! I have to accept that I need to rest and take a vacation once in a blue moon! ;-) The work will be there after my break or my vacation. It doesn’t go anywhere!
Furthermore, for illustrating my post… I am presently in a middle of a two weeks vacation. Yes! You can laugh out loud! I am still working during my vacation. However, I know myself very well… I know that if I am stay at home for my holiday, I would end up working. So, in advance, I trick myself of scheduling some little trips out of the city to make sure that I will stop working at least a few days in a row. It goes without saying, of course the computer stays at HOME! (But for now, this part is easy, I don’t have a laptop!)
In the meantime, my plan is working like a charm. I had a few days off, went to visit some friends up north and treating myself to a spa. I have more trips for next week too. If during my trips, I have access at a computer, the control freak in me have to at least check my email… but that is it! I need to draw a line somewhere! ;-)
It’s good to change the paste, to be more relax, to be able to smell the roses! It’s good for my mind, my body and my soul! In addtion, I will be back in a more relax mind set and probably with new ideas!
Enjoy your vacation, I know I am enjoying mine!
