Beginning New Week with New Hopes

It is the Monday, so back to work again. Lol. Though my weekends are often busier than the the other days, because for a house wife the holiday of man means the double duty of woman. Hehe. You don't need to be agree with it, but that's my case. Anyways, Monday always begins with tge new cycle and refreshed responsibilities, and it is goid to have some plans for the week.

For the last few weeks, I have been very less active online. I tried hard to be more active but I couldn't because of more abrupt life online. My whole family had been suffering from fever, cold and cough, abd the ailments have been recurrent. Especially, the sickness of my younger son seriously tired me. He is asthmatic and in this season of ailment he had very sever attack of asthma, the aftermath of which are still there. He got his tantrums back that were very much undermined an year ago. Dealing with tantrums of your kids utilize so much energy emotionally as well as physically. I have been feeling weaker these days and tired more than usual. Well, now I want to be back to my writing activities back because if I don't write I don't feel like living.... and when the ideas and topics are all the time poping up in your head, it seems like a waste of treasure if you don't convert them into a written draft. Since I have come to know about the contest, this is the first time that I didn't participate in pob-wotw this week. Though I spent more than 5 hours on the post yet I could not complete it,and I didn't have any more energy and time to complete it. So, I left it for another day.

That's why, I slept Sunday night with an intention of beginning my new week with better planning and strong determination. However, when I woke up today, I was not alone but Migraine was with me. Performing screen work with migrine is terrible, but I didn't want to begin my week with a negative vibe. I stretched my arms and told my brain that a good day has begun and I have acquired all the energy to proceed with the day. I stood up and offered the morning prayers, after which I prayed to God to give me strength and energy to overcome all the obstacles and to rise above. Prayers always help us. They lead us to find the ways unknown to us for long.

I have been observing my routine for some time and trying to figure out what I can do to make the most of the time available to me. Being a mother of two kids and living in a huge joint family, there are a number of unexplainable reasons to usurp time. Nevertheless, I cannot be totally in control of the environment. Unless I will try to take the control of things, I won't be able to progress any further. At least, those things that I can control, I must.

I have so much in my mind that keeps on running all the day in my brain and don't even let me sleep well at night. The abstract ideas add nothing but stress in our head. The more stress we have, the lesser productive we are. At least, that is my case. I keep so much in my mind to do, and even I do a lot, I still feel like doing nothing. It is because the a lot I do is only a small portion of all the things that I have been continuously thinking of. So, the first thing that I decided to begin this week is to convert abstract ideas into more concrete ones. I have decided to

💢 prioritize my tasks and select an order to perform them.

💢 write all the topics of a blog that are currently in my head, so that I won't have fear of losing then.

💢 Patting my back for everything I do instead of feeling irritated for the things that I couldn't do. It would let me feel happier (I think so) and happiness gives us more energy.

💢 No procrastination. I do procrastinate about writing, I know. The reason is not that I am lazy. The reason is that I want to write more comprehensively and with my full attention (at the time when there is no distraction; and such a time is hardly available to me). As a result, I end up writing nothing and feeling irritated. Today, I went though the post of @dwixer @dwixe, in which he stated that "procrastination" kills happiness. I felt the words directly hitting my heart. How true!

💢 Planning the next day concretely a night before so that I don't have to waste my time in the beginning of the new day. I would be ready for the performance in the day when the day would be ready with its dawn.

💢 I will write whatever is in my mind instead of waiting for a very awesome idea or collecting too much information, as @dreemsteem once adviced me that I am not supposed to write a winning post all the time instead I need to put my heart out. This way, I would be able to write a post daily I hope. Also, it will help me combat the procrastination that comes due to perfectionism.

💢 I will set my goals. Earlier this morning, I read a post of @jacoalberts in which he told about hitting his goals on hive. I felt so delighted to read how much he has attained so far and he is already running a head of his goals. It was a motivational post that inspired me to set my goals as well. However, I am right now not feeling like setting the long terms goal because at this point I think I will mess up. I will start with weekly more concrete goals and to do tasks. It will help me attain consistency. Once I am consistent, I will be able to prepare more concrete long- term goals.

I have begun the new week with new hopes and I pray to God to help me enlighten mine and the others way.
