Over Extending

I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. Perhaps it’s just a “bad” day for me – although nothing is really bad. I’m just wishing that I had more time in the day to get things done that I need and want to get done.

Today’s the first day that I’ve really felt like this in a long time and I’m trying to take note. I sometimes (more often than not) feel as if I’m pushing a rock up a hill. I feel like the more I concentrate on getting rid of debt or getting in shape, the stronger the opposing forces seem to get.

Sadly, I feel as if I am in it alone and to give up on one thing or another – just to drop the constant inner voice from reminding me that I need to get it done.

I shouldn’t feel like this at all.

Again, it’s probably just “one of those days” and it’s been a while since I’ve had a really down day. I often get more frustrated with myself than anything else. Wanting to be able to do more than I can all at once.

Over extending can sometimes help you get a lot of things done. I think I’m still recovering from not following the creative urges that came to me on the weekend. I’m going to have to talk about my commitments again and what it might mean for our “lifestyle” in the next while. I need support here and I just don’t feel like I’m getting any.

Trust me, even re-installing a Photoshop plugin-in is hitting me with anxiety at this very moment.

This post is much to do about releasing this trapped energy so that I can move on.

Is there something you do on days like this?

Japan

I don’t normally disclose where I donate towards but Japan is in serious need of help – something money can’t even buy. In all seriousness, I’m probably in one of the worst places to even be sending money away from my own issues, but I can’t help but KNOW there are more people that need the help right now. I’ve donated what I could, but I am launching a print sale tomorrow on Nuwomb and I’m now going to push an amount from each sale to go to the Canadian Red Cross in support for Japan.

I honestly am not using this as a tactic to help sales but if I plan on donating more to the cause anyways, why not let people know that part of their purchase will be to fully support Japan in their time of need.  It’s only a matter of time before a major earthquake hits the coast of Vancouver, but I hope we never need such support.
I’m going to be sending messages to all my Facebook friends tomorrow related to the launch of the Nuwomb Store and I really want to rock this out.  I need the financial help and so does Japan.
Consider sending something even if you’re in a really tough place financially right now. Trust me, I’m not living in rainbows and sunshine but I’m not suffering the loss of family, friends and an entire nation.
