One month to vacation!!

Every day that draws nearer I feel more and more tired. That lends truth to mind over matter. I know I need a vacation. I've only had one week in the last year and every day that passes seems harder and harder. I am overworked and usually take it in stride but it is so difficult now! :(

I wish I could meditate but I can't clear my mind enough to even dream of doing it! It is all I can do to get out of my bed in the morning. Last night I slept 13 hours and still hit the snooze on my alarm 3 times and when I finally woke up  it took me 2 hours to leave my house.  It could also be this freaking winter. I don't think I've seen the sun or felt heat in at least 3 months. How is someone supposed to live in such a dreary environment! :(

Is anyone else feeling this? Is it just me? I so hope my vacation will help!

I've found this to be helpful:  give yourself one hour a day to be still.  No matter what.  No matter what.  Wake up an hour early if necessary.

In this time you are to do absolutely nothing.  Be still.   For the first few sessions, it may be difficult to be still for such a period of time.  That's okay.  Sometimes doing nothing can be a challenge :)

Observe your experience of life during the days which you give yourself this one hour of stillness.

Hey Lee,
I must admit,I'm feeling the same way. I'm always tired, moody, even my imagination is terrible. I can't concentrate, I'm very down even if I'm always laughing... something inside me is just like winter.. cold. Good thing you have a planned vacation... you can count the days. You have hope to be better... all I have is my daydreams... I can't see vacation anytime soon.  Not to mention that we are over worked and more and more every day it seems.
I'm glad I have you to share how I'm feeling. You always make me laugh... you brighten my day... every day...
But all I have to say is keep laughing and smiling.... spring time is sooner than we think... stay positive!

Noreen Congratulations on the 4 weeks! Miros and I will have 4 weeks next year too...the only problem is as I've been saying we never get to take them!  :(

Miss Red....get back to the year 2007 girlfriend...if I am usually at work between 7:30 and 8:30 and I can't get out of bed before 8 nor get to work before 10am that is the problem I am talking about. Weekends don't count. When I go to bed at 3am and 5am I am sorry you expect me to answer your calls at 9am just because you have been up for hours!!!! :P

Miros... I will try to hang in there...thanks for giving e so much to laugh at!!! LMAO
