Finding Balance

These past few months have been very hectic for me, although knowing my big picture self, the frantic pace I think I'm experiencing could have been the result of over dramatization and overthinking in my head. I tend to think in big picture, future-endgame way so everything becomes overwhelming. But only in my head. The actual work happening in real life? I handled all of it, and if I may say so, beautifully too.

Our company was graced with our first big project that sees us expanding our full time team of 4 to 7 people, and we now have almost 70 full time freelancers working with us. It's been a joy really, not always smooth, but fulfilling. It's fun working with people, their quirks, hopes and expectations are teaching me so much. I'm also very blessed to have a great team handling this, but I do need to learn how to let go and trust them. #micromanaging

On top of the crazy work schedule, I'm also adding gym on top of my priorities. For years I've felt that the workout I did was half assed jobs, like I would tell myself that "At least I go to the gym and workout" even though I just walk on the treadmill for 20 minutes. Not that walking on the treadmill is wrong, if that's all you can do then you do you. I can and should do more. The gym routine had no direction and no purpose. Einstein said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing a thousand times and expecting different results. I want to be fit and have lean muscles, so I got a personal trainer. Now I workout 4 times a week. The best thing about this is I don't have to be motivated at all, I just have to be there because my personal trainer will be waiting. Then I go through minor torture for about one hour and then I'm done. Once I've outsourced and automated my workout, I eliminated the temptation to not go to the gym. It's been a month and I think I've done like a gazillion squats haha.. I do feel stronger, fitter, and also, my ass is tight yo!

It's impossible to find balance when all your marbles are in the air simultaneously, one or two will drop to the floor. You gotta let it go. Important things will be prioritized and will get done. Things like house cleaning, laundry folding and sometimes cooking should be delegated or outsourced if you can afford it. Nobody has ever died out of unfolded laundry, right?
