I just realized that I have been working since January 14 and haven’t taken one day for vacation. I only missed work while sick or lying in the hospital. Which really is worse then work. And I’m noticing now on the second round of redesign en reorganizing all websites I work on that I so need a vacation. I just spend three hours of bugs fixing on a website that went live last week. And I still have like 5 websites to load in the new system and troubleshoot eventual bugs that might show up.
Besides work stress… I started reading “Eat, Pray, Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert, I had the book since early this year but just started reading it. And I’m really liking it so far. It rings so true on the spiritual subject of what I have read before in different kinds of books. Her writing style is very easy, conversational and funny. I never write about it, but I believe in God, yes I said it. I’m not religious, although raised Catholic, I call myself a spiritual person. I have always been, having struggled with my health for most of my life it does make you think and see things different then if you where healthy.
While in this book the writer is looking for peace of mind after her divorce, I’m looking for peace of mind on my health. To not let it affect me, we are all more then just our body, we have a mind and soul. I also hope to get started on meditating and turning my mind off. Have you ever noticed that it seems impossible to shut up your mind? Well with lots of practice/meditating it should be possible. And I hope to achieve that.
Then hopefully next year I can be all zen when stress starts to build up around me at work and home.
