Still Gotta Take It Slow And Pace Myself.....

[squireparty]

This is an update on my vacation here in Austin, Texas. I am learning that I am able to get out and do things like go to museums, go to restaurants (this one is very draining though) and go to thrift shops (trying to get some decent clothes together).....I am able to do these things, yes, but not at the pace I once could. Doing too much too fast sets me on edge and starts my mind spinning. I have had to prioritize and give some sights/tasks up.....All in all I am pleased with what I have seen and have managed to get done here.

Part of this trip was about deciding what comes next for me and I am realizing more and more that I am not ready to go back to work for someone else, but I do need income coming in. Once I get back home I am going to start doing more secret shops and see how that pans out, and I have some online projects I'd like to get done, such as selling off a great deal of the clutter I have left.

Just gotta pace myself overall as it is too easy to go on overload and that takes me to a place I don't care to revisit.....

Awesome Squire. I am sure that you will attain your goals and keep taking one day at a time , looking after yourself first as we must. :)

I think it's great that you are trying things, paying attention to how you feel and taking care of yourself. Sounds like you're making great progress. :)

And as a Texan, I feel I have to say "Howdy and welcome to the lonestar state. Hope you've enjoyed your stay here". ;)

That's great that you were able to come to that conclusion. Sometimes getting away can help clear our heads to what needs to be done.

I liked Secret shopping when I did it.

I wish you luck.

I think setting your own pace is a great idea. Only you can understand how much you can deal with at any given time and recognizing when to push and when to ease up is so important. Be kind to yourself, that is what I try and remember when I feel a little too overwhelmed or try and take on too much.
