Rejuvination

sabrinamariWorked a heavy week and then worked the weekend too. Sunday brought some blessed, badly-needed relief. Next weekend will be a working weekend also, although hopefully, a less immediately demanding one.
I spent some sorely needed Shannon time on Sunday, and even figured out a win-win scenario in which she can help me dig myself out of the fieldnote hole I've gotten myself into by cramming 6 months of projects into the last 2 months.
Revising and writing for the book starts this week, and I'm nervous about how to integrate it into the already elevated level of work and work-related travel I'll be doing over the next month. How will I make this happen?
More importantly, how will I make it happen while stabilizing my life and re-adding everything I dropped over the last 2 months?
I stopped:
sleeping enough
taking my high-blood pressure meds (that was really, really stupid)
getting regular exercise
getting enough rejuvinative leisure
having a regular daily schedule
meditating
cultivating my spiritual life
Just not wise! I change that now.
I'm starting by staying home at night whenever possible and doing as little non-work related travel as I can get away with for the next month. My parents are visiting on the 5th and 6th, but perhaps that can be eased by limiting what we do while they they are here.
Must sleep, must rest, must create a regular, rejuvinating healthy schedule. Must reject opportunities to take on new projects.
