Paradox

As I pay more attention to my own "battery" gauge, especially with the tight delivery timelines at work as well as with my own business and personal engagements, it just dawn on me that sometimes, it is when I thought I should push myself most that I needed to lay the pushing off of myself.

To move myself forward I need to start with letting go of the pushing. A paradox. I know.

You see, when I find myself taking more energy to push myself than what is needed to get the work done, it is a good indication that the battery level of my mind and/or body is lower than I thought. It is best to listen and honor that. So I took an hour detour at Borders today, giving my mind a chance to unwind, reading comic books.
