I understand some of you will be wondering this, and I must apologise but as with the tradition of my previous posts I won't be giving specifics. Suffice is to say there was something I took a break to focus my energy on in order to achieve and I am happy to say it worked. As for what that is exactly, I won't be saying.
What this experience has taught me however is that the division of energy is something we do not pay enough attention to in our lives. We all feel tired at times and feel that there isn't enough time in our lives to do the things we want to do. Unfortunately that feeling is more often than not, more than just a feeling, it is a reality. The fact remains for many people there just aren't enough hours in the day, and I am no exception. It is for this reason I have been re-evaluating the things I do with my time and cutting out the things that are not necessary.
This blog will continue to have sporadic updates but for the foreseeable future it will not be returning to a regular posting schedule. I don't want to promise that and not be able to deliver it. Writing is something I love to do and I never intend on stopping. What I choose to write and where I choose to write it however needs to be addressed. While it may appear that this blog would seem easy to maintain, there is a lot more behind the scenes that goes into maintaining it. All of this takes time and energy which at the moment I just don't have, as my energy is being devoted to something far more important.
What I would like to say to those who read my posts regularly is to hear my message of awareness. Take a moment and sit back and think about everything you do with your time and think about the energy you spend. There are many things we do that consume our time and energy without us ever realising it. The more we enjoy the things we do the less scrutiny we apply to it and the less aware we become of how much time and energy it actually consumes.
Twitter is something which I have used, abandoned, and returned to many times. I maintain my view on this - in order for twitter to be worthwhile you need to devote time to it. My tweets have been less and less lately as my time is consumed by other things. However like this blog I don't want to get rid of it entirely either. I will continue to use it and update sporadically.
I will leave you with only one piece of advice and it comes from a character in a TV show, 10 points if you know who:
"The best way to achieve a goal is to devote 100% of your time and energy to it"
