Busy Busy Busy

May19

In an effort to stay constantly busy and stave off boredom (every Novel Patient’s ultimate enemy), I tend to take on a lot of projects.  And lately I think I may have taken on a few too many.  I tend to have a hard time finding that balance between bored and too busy.  Lately I’ve been tipping the scales towards the too busy side.  And then comes the stress which isn’t good for me.  Stress can make my diseases worse.  And I definitely don’t want that.

But being bored is a much worse evil.  My body may be sick but my brain doesn’t have to atrophy.  Nothing makes me more depressed than feeling like my mind is turning to mush.  That I am wasting my life.

So I’ve found ways to do something with my life despite being sick in bed most of the time.  The computer is a god send.

But my constant question is: how to find that balance and be just busy enough?

“Busy Busy Busy”

    I don’t know if you’ll find a good answer to this one.

    I remember when the SIMS first came out for PC and I thought it would be so cool to have this simulated life, but the more I played the game, the more I found myself saying…I just don’t have time to do all the stuff I want to do!

    Then it hit me..holy crap…this is like real life! It’s always work around the house, run errands, work for hours and hours…there simply isn’t enough time to do the things I want.

    Basically, I don’t know if there really is a balance. Right now, I’d just like to go somewhere by myself and meditate…even if it’s just a few hours. Away from the world…

    who has the time?

    When you find out about balance, let me know please! I still struggle with this. I try to stay active mentally when I am down physically but sometimes even that knocks me out. And being a workaholic, really makes it hard for me.

    My doctors will tell you how bad I am if you could speak to them!

    As a fellow workaholic, I sympathize. I like to say I’m a “recovering” perfectionist as well, but perhaps “relapsing” would be a better word. hehe

    I don’t think I know the meaning of “take it easy” or “rest and relax” most days. Even if I’m lying in bed my mind is still going a mile a minute.

    But believe me if I find the secret to this magical balance I will certainly let you and the rest of the world know! =)
