Miserable and Irritated
I’m not enjoying my work. I lie in bed thinking I’d rather be doing something other than work. I’ve thrown myself into fixing things there, but it’s just not rewarding at all. Why? Because I’ve done this type of work far too often, and the program delivery is so messed up—the technical solution has performance issues and is riddled with pitfalls during implementation. After six months on the program, I can’t see any momentum.
This is the lowest I’ve felt for a long time. The ingredients for this are:
- Poor work situation and a desire for more free time
- Not completing my book
- Drinking too much wine and coffee
- Not enough exercise
Should I take a day off? Well, this week is a bank holiday week anyway, and so is next week. I have time. I need to find an opportunity to relax as well. I don’t think all the wine is helping.
Hypno
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been doing hypnotherapy to motivate myself to exercise more. But it’s not working. I haven’t put in any effort; I’ve only done two walks. As the hypnotherapist says, we need to address the underlying causes of my lack of motivation to exercise. As a result, we’ve explored various topics, including Grace and work. We’ve concluded that I need to figure out what my week should look like and then adjust my working pattern accordingly. I’ve also considered a four-day workweek.
So Happy to Be with Grace
I spent most of yesterday with Grace, and that was nice. I love giving her lots of kisses on the face. She now merely repeats what I say, which can be a struggle for her, but she keeps on smiling, and I have immense respect for her.
More Travel
I’ve booked a trip to Naples! I know, I seem to think travel solves everything for me.
