Busy Balancing Regulation

Are you busy? What does being busy mean to you?

Good question for me today

I’ve had quite the whirlwind of activity swirling around me. It’s been fun. I’ve pretty much loved all of it. Even Disneyland was enjoyable, not too crowded, not overwhelming. It really has been a surprisingly easeful bonanza of enjoyment.

Everything slowly came to a gradual stop. I think I need to assess and adjust. What next? What now?

My mock up (hopefully the final one) is supposed to be ready today. It’s been weeks since I ordered it. I made some reels, got over that hump. My other book,, ‘Peaceful Hearts’ might be on Amazon to order as a soft bound actual book. I started illustrating my next book. Yep. All in and around everything else. Sometimes life moves pretty fast. Just as often it slows to a halt.

Yesterday I had a little bout of discouragement. It turned into a state that I wanted to get out of. Good practice because sometimes I forget how fast I can fall out of regulation and also how fast I can pull in if I stop and pay attention. Ironically, here was the whole reason I wrote the breathing books and started this blog in the first place. So kind of cool that that happened.

My out of balance moments are not fun, but I think they are important. I need to pause. I need to take some concious breaths. The expression, ‘catch my breath’ comes to mind. I think I’ve been running and running and I might need to catch up with myself to restore my equilibrium before I continue…maybe that’s where I’m at today.

A wise child once told me that drawing was a good calming activity. So.
