There are times when I feel a little bit overwhelmed with all that I have to do, all that I have not done, and all that I should be doing right now. I think it is important for us all to realize that we don't always have to be "on our game". I should give myself permission to take things easy from time to time. Just to be gentle with myself. It isn't helpful to run myself into the ground. Life is like being on a treadmil. We forget that we can change the speeds. We keep jogging along until we get tired, then we start walking, but without adjusting the speed. Then we find that we are falling behind, that we must watch our step or we will trip, fall over, fail.

And it's all about balance. As soon as I put more focus and attention on my readings, i feel overwhelmed and off -colour when it comes to school. And Vice versa.

I want to spend some time on both of these things tonight. I want to plan.
