Voids Of Time

Patience and reasoning are things that require work. We all risk disappointment at some point in our lives by jumping the gun without thinking with some sense of clarity. More often than not in times of intense emotion.

Although it's wise to do your due diligence whenever a rash decision presents itself, it's also in our best interests to practise patience on a regular basis.

A quick google search provides the juice for methods on how to be more patient. Try to relax and take deep breaths, add a buffer between activities, hold off making decisions and look at the bigger picture. Reasonable and for the most part all common sense.

I'm not going to delve down the route of becoming some type of self-help preacher so don't expect someone else rattling off the latest 'top-notch info' they've found on google in thirty seconds. I've already travelled that route and discovered that it's dull, lifeless, and it's all been said by someone else already.

I'm not opposed to sharing an insight or foreshadowing before typing about myself though.

Different areas of my life as of late have presented me with opportunities to practise patience and I'm beginning to sense the emotions and thought processes that are associated with it. Much like training the body, I'm well aware that I need to train my mind as I continue to develop this new life I've began to lead.

While I know that I have more time on my hands now, I also know that this isn't going to be the case for the future. My daily routine at the current time is centred around the lockdowns in my country and once they are lifted everything is going to change again. It would be foolish of me to incorporate too many habits into my day which I cannot maintain in the long run.

In the past I have lost sight of what is realistic and attainable and I'm not planning on repeating past mistakes.

Day-to-day exercises are a must and I'll be keeping up with my kettlebell exercises and my regular workout routine when needed. My daily walk may transition into a walk to work instead but that is still unclear.

My eating schedule may change slightly but I'm going to try and stick to intermittent fasting though it may not be the best option when I get back into construction daily (breakfast is crucial before work in my opinion).

I've recently got back to posting again and interacting with the community, I'm really enjoying it. I'd like to continue to post daily as I usually write a day in advance and then finish/edit the following day before posting, but we will see if that's attainable. CineTV has been popping up in my feed a bunch and I quite fancy writing some short film teasers. I'm a fan of films so it could be fun while not being too overwhelming.

My self-care routines will stay the same and I'll make sure they have time slots.

Back to the importance of patience and why I started rambling on about it in the first place. As I said, I have a lot of time on my hands right now but it's all too easy get used to this and start filling it with more and further responsibilities. I understand others don't have this luxury but that's just the way of life.

I'm content with being mindful of the potential voids of time and levelling myself for the future ahead of me, whatever that may be.
