Interesting thing about a busy week. It’s overwhelming. OK… so not funny in the sense of ‘ha ha’. Just funny in the sense that last week was pretty relaxed, without Husband around, we all sort of took it easy and enjoyed a relatively stress-free week of a little school work and kids games and activities.

This week… the shit essentially hits the fan. Husband returns with a full plate, not the least of which are two days of golf back to back. I’ve got my little newspaper to get out before this long weekend as well as a campspot to set up and reserve for our family and friends for this weekend- two days before we will actually be there. It’s called beating the long-weekend campground rush. And of course, 15 days of school module to squeeze into three. Oh, and another triathlon to prepare for early next week. Hmmmm………

So the motto between us is simply. Just. Do. It. It sounds strangely familiar… as though I’ve heard it somewhere before……

Anyhow, on my way to Calgary on Sunday I managed to catch a talk radio show and the guest was a psychic, life coach, crazy lady but she did say one thing that stuck in my brain.

We spend far too much time thinking about the things we have to do. The things we want to do. Too much time thinking…. Always thinking…. A lot of energy. Thinking. Perhaps rather than stewing. Ruminating. Contemplating. Instead of persistently thinking about the life we want perhaps actually Do SOMETHING to actually achieve it. We should exert a little of that precious time and precious energy spent in our heads, actually doing.

Think less. Do more. And so far, so good. Last night as I was about to get ready for a typical evening of dwelling on what I needed to do, what had to be done to accomplish this weeks demands, instead, for a change, I just did something. Instead of laying upon my couch, thinking, becoming increasingly overwhelmed and anxious, I got a good start on the newspaper. Instead of thinking about doing. I just did.

Just Do It.  What a concept!  Somebody should really do something with that….
