Listening

I listen to many things during the day. Music, my husband, the dishwasher and Mackenzie with her happy babbling and incessant demands. I listen to friends family and the occasional stranger who needs and ear and a good chat. I listen to the breeze and the running water as the snow melts and it gets warmer. It is a very rare occasion though, that I will listen to myself. 

The first example would be when it comes to my limitations in what I am able to do in a day. Logically I tell myself that I need to get certain things done in a day. I know that I am taking care of a baby and I am getting better at adjusting my day around her and getting chores and hobbies done. But there are still days when I get overwhelmed because I feel like I have too much on my plate and I still feel like I should be adding on. Because that is what I used to do. It is what I would like to do again.

Another example is when it comes to my Kung Fu mentality specifically blogging. I talk myself up and i run concepts that I would like to blog about but by the time I feel like I have time to write, the motivation is gone and I feel like the concepts I came up with are not worth the blog. I know thats not true but I also listen to that little insidious voice sometimes as well. 

Anyway I'll wrap this up by saying that I need to listen better to the positive rather than the negative!
