I'm still kind of picking it up, but it calms me and energizes me in a way that makes me more productive. I've started back on Wii fit Yoga in the mornings.

It's funny how sometimes <br>everything's working fine and then suddenly out of the blue, the <br>record keeps s-s-s-kipping and you're wondering what the hell you did <br>wrong. Today I caught myself by doing some yoga in the middle of the <br>day in my living room because I was feeling stuck and off the path. As <br>a result, that deliberate change in my daily activities shuck things <br>up enough for me to reprioritize what I need to be doing. Oh and <br>listmaking.... definitely helpful! (Until you get to that part you <br>noted, where you have to stop yourself cold turkey and realize what <br>needs to be done NOW and what can wait until later?)

(still awaiting responses ::crosses fingers::). <br><br>Frustrating, but today I feel good about myself because I am getting back on track. I've gotten back to my list making too - which I swear makes things so much easier to accomplish... until you get to the point where you aren't sure which project to tackle next. ...

Frustrating, but today I feel good about myself because I am getting back on track. I've gotten back to my list making too – which I swear makes things so much easier to accomplish… until you get to the point where you aren't sure which project to tackle next. …

Currently bushwacking, as a matter of fact. For the last few months I've been distracted by all the pretty flowers that other people call weeds, because they're not near the creativity road. Sometimes I get off the road to avoid stumbling blocks that would actually help me if I would just work through the problem instead of trying to go around it. Of course I get lost for a while in the weeds, end up getting back on the road where I left off, and work through the stumbling block anyway while hitting my head on something hard and telling myself I'm a dolt for not working through the problem in the first place.

In fact, it seems a bit more fun. I'm more adventurous than I thought, I guess. :-) When you call it bushwacking, it reallydoesn't seem so bad. In fact, it seems a bit more fun.
