I opted for the gym as it’s equally important to exercise my body as well as my mind and I can happily say, from a vigorous workout, I’ve been rethinking project robot.
Its nothing major but the first draft, I think, needs a bit of shuffling around somewhat so instead of just rewriting the sentences I should map it all out again and from that framework of view find the best way to get to the end.
As a short story it should still be accomplished within a couple of weeks.
Tonight I’m scheduled in for a fitness class at the gym, but I’m in 2 minds over it. This is due to last nights wasted writing session. I wanted to write, but the laptop had had an update, and so for nearly an hour I sat there and waited patiently.
By the time it had finished I was very tired and so headed off to bed instead.
I still very much want to write tonight, but the gym is also calling too. What to do, what to do?
So yesterday I wrote a list of things I want to do more of vs the things I have to do daily and am hoping by focusing on the ‘ ‘wants’ they will slowly shift priority and become part of a normal routine.
As my Monday is drawing to a close I’m proudly able to say I have done the following today:
Gone to the gym
Meditated
Listened to some music
And I’ve done nothing from the list of typical daily things!
I’m mostly proud for doing the meditation because at the gym I felt like I was majorly daydreaming and not focusing properly on what my body was doing. It felt like my head and body were out of sync. So I searched youtube and found a guided meditation which made me feel centred, refreshed and back in control. As a side note can anyone recommend any good medititions apps or youtube videos? I tend to only look for them when I desperately need them and get myself more worked up!
Because I felt really out of sync I could not think about writing my story tonight. It is only Monday so there’s plenty of opportunity to do that this week. I hope I won’t get down in the dumps over it.
Tonight I won’t be writing. I need to go to the gym as well as do a few other bits and bobs around the house so I need to have a break from writing.
However…
I will give my current story a read over and make some notes on where I feel it’s going wrong.
As a side note…
If you can’t already tell I’m hooked/addicted to WordPress, I don’t know why I didn’t join it sooner. Is it bad of me to say I feel it’s more important to keep at my blog than my book writing?
