Did You Ever Overdo It?

Nov 04, 2009 / On the Job / Trackback

fullmoonYou know me, I love what I do and I’m passionate about my work.

They call me the Energizer Bunny at the office and I get excited over things like being a census community partner, writing the new policy for new communication tools for the employee handbook, matching the unemployed or an intern with an opportunity or helping my team land a prospect. So much to do so little time.

How do you place limits and choose when everything is so interesting, when it’s a smorgasbord of tantalizing, tempting, delicious experiences waiting to happen – when you want it all?

High tolerance for stress, fire alarms, change, high octane stuff and all on minimal amounts of sleep. It seems to be the only way to fit it all in. But today, for the first time I can remember, I felt like I over did it. Like I overdosed on a day filled with way too much activity, mental and physical, to the point of exhaustion. Is it still a full moon? Have you ever had a day like this? How do you re-energize?

Yes, I've had a day like that. Many. I love taking inventory at the end of a day like that. I feel like I accomplished a lot and gave it my all. During a day like that, I get filled with nervous energy that needs to be tapped into. My favorite way to use it: get on the bike for an hour. Afterwards, I am left with only mental energy to apply the remaining tasks at hand.

Karla-
I re-energize by: Taking a walk in my favorite Park in the Fresh air, Draw a nice Relaxing Bath, Listen to some favorite music on my ipod,reconnecting with a friend you have not spoken to in awhile.
And most important Restorative sleep.
Sleepytime tea is a favorite too!
Hope you find these tips helpful!

Jeff – What an exhausting way to recuperate, endorphins are obviously important to you. My last ounce of mental energy went into writing the post and then I was toast.

Shennee – I love Zen and your answer was peaceful and balanced. However, when I took my shoes and clothes off when I got home it was only for pajamas to replace them. I would have fallen asleep in the bathtub and drowned and the thought of having to talk to another person yesterday was as tempting as a cyanide martini. Sorry.
