One of the things I’m scared of with trying to get my life back in order, is that something may inadvertently fall by the wayside.

I mean, let’s face it … I’m going to be struggling with any full-time job and making sure I perform adequately in that arena. It would be very easy to focus all my attentions on that, at the expense of other areas of my life.

Perhaps, say … my health.

Especially, my health!

But that’s not going to happen! 😠

My mental and physical health is of prime importance to me. Even more so as I get older.

And I’ve seen that killing yourself to do a good job doesn’t mean anything. It merely increases expectations of what you should do, from others.

So I’ll somehow have to figure out how to combine any new work life with sufficient “me” time to ensure I keep my health and fitness at an optimal level.

A case of working to live as opposed to living to work. 🙂

I’ve also decided I’ll construct my own exercise and nutritional plan.

I’m not a gym-junkie and recent years has taught me to live frugally and carefully.

Therefore, any exercise plan I come-up with should be something I can do at home, with minimal equipment and be done within 30 minutes.

Together with simply walking (the best exercise there is) I feel that should keep me relatively healthy and give me time to adjust to a new work-life.

But I know my resolve will be tested at times.

The litmus test will be how I respond when … not if … it happens. 🤔

But I’m not going to dwell on that now as there’s no point focussing on things that haven’t happened. It just wastes emotional energy.

So I’ll just start working on my exercise plan and see how it starts to unfold.

Just another step in the grand plan to get me back on track. 🙂
