Recognising Body Signals

Being Kind to Myself: No Blue November Day-4

Yesterday I felt incredibly sleepy after going home from the library, I had fed my brother, But I cannot recall whether I took a shower or not, as I can flash back I did not say my evening and night prayer( Magrib and Esha) and fell asleep.

This morning I woke up at 4, without alarm and I was feeling good, experienced a bliss of joy. I did the meditation course on timefulness as the first thing in the morning. Then I said my morning prayer and sent a voice note to my friend, started preparing for the day.

Anyways I am trying to understand what happens inside my mind when I am making a check list for the day and starting to end up doing something else…

1. First of all why this happens..
2. Secondly when I make a goal or task list why I start procrastinating on it, start to do something else.
3. And later I find myself end up doing nothing of the list…

Which creates utter frustration at the end of the Day.. I feel dissatisfied and its affecting my well-being tremendously.

If I Dig Deep in this problem …As I am a Human Being I have to recognise my humanity too, that means sometimes I may not feel like to do things, or at some point of the day I might feel bad. There’s two thing I can do to solve this problem.

1. Bound the Task list within a Day ( Library Time -7–8 Hours) time frame and let myself the freedom of choice of doing it at any moment of the day.

Or

2. Keep Some planned time and some unplanned time such as first half fully planned and Strict and second half free for things I feel like to do.

Or

3. Try to manage Bad feelings with different strategies where the task in hand is too much time sensitive such as Breathing Techniques or other strategies to pursue the Bad feeling to go.

I assume there will be no Golden Rule, I just have to try out a lot of things and find out what work for me, and keeping a lot of options always helps.

I don’t know may be while I move forward I might find some new strategies too, right now I don’t have any idea about it too.

with this …

On the Starting of a Wonderful Day..
