Day 30 - In Motion

Today is the last day of the blog marathon for the month of September. I am very proud of myself for sticking to this discipline and posted every day. For the past 30 days, I had been traveling, had been in conversations with family and others at all odd hours of the day, been working pretty hard, excelling at my salsa so much so that I am called the "favorite" to one of the lead dancers , keeping in touch with my friends, be it via email, phone or text messages, been exhausted in a good way, you know, the "exhaustion" where you know you have given it your best shot for the day to all that you care about in your life and are at peace with the day! I have had meaningful conversations, completely useless but delightful conversations. Life had been busy, good, relaxing and overwhelming, all one after another!

Now, I am debriefing through this blog post. What did I do well for me to keep all of this going? Let's see. I know that I had been taking good care of my time, to manage myself and others in my life. I had requested time off for myself when I know I am not at my mental or emotional best.I said "No" to certain things and certain people, when I was not interested so that I can actually focus on what I am interested. I have been disciplined about doing certain things at certain times of the day. 


What are the lessons learned? The questions that I get asked by most people is how I manage to do so much and if I am ever relaxed. :-) This is my way of relaxation - to dance, to sing, to blog, to read, to cycle, to walk, to meditate, to cook and sometimes, I am a couch potato and watch "Criminal Minds" marathon on TV!  It works absolutely well for me!My biggest lesson learned is that when I accept myself for who I am and who I am not, I accept others for who they are and who they are not! Isn't that delicious?

Now,I just need to remind myself about this precious lesson so that I don't forget! Hmm..how do I keep that in motion? I think I'll do it with this.
