Decision-Making Energy & Habits

It's only recently dawned on me how much energy decision-making can take, as I've gone through an energy-drought and what usually seems so simple becomes far less so. The daily B-vitamins seems to be helping, thank goodness. Still, this thought has never before occurred to me, so I'm exploring it s'more (as is my wont ;-)

I'm thinking that establishing habits and/or routines can help reduce the energy required b'c decisions're pretty much pre-made. I also use list-making as a way to avoid having to make decisions later on/closer to events/when more exhausted and/or less easily able to make decisions.( Read more... )

Missing Ducks / Down Duck Time

I'm really not very used to long spells of wanting the ducks just to stay put, to preferring they not wander all over Creation(mine), to declining offers to set out there & back again, but instead putting my feet up by the (metaphorical) fire. [An aside: I want more fire in my life. Ditto more drums. And by virtue of stating my intentions and taking action aka being proactive (*shudders at the prospect of such phrases re-entering my life on a regular basis*), I have made it so (or at least helped usher it along)]

Thank you for those in my life who help w/such matters, and to those who keep in touch (regularly or irregularly). I treasure you. Time is a luxury and I do appreciate what I have and what you give. I've been taking time for myself recently. (And've felt horribly guilty about it, truth be told. Still, I'm getting past this now. Not quite sure where it came from, but would really prefer it be - and stay - gone.)

Anyway, ( Back to Ducks & Ducklings )

*************

I finally feel like starting to looking ahead s'more, taking up the ducks, straightening their pin-feathers, aligning the magnets, flipping pages to find the next hymn, loosening up muscles, gathering up gumption, getting ready to tear through my chrysalis walls, flap my wings (and those of my proto-ducks) and once more GOING & DOING things further away from here.

While keeping in mind my desire to spend more time here, I find myself willing to expand my definition of "here". ;-)
