I'm feeling strangely uneasy by all this time I have on my hands. For years I've been running at such a fast pace, working insane hours, traveling 24/7, never pausing to rest or slow down.. I've been longing for a break. I was telling Dennis for so long "if I didn't have to travel like this and handle all this administrational stuff and manage all these ventures, I would have time to do what I really want to do". If I wasn't so overwhelmed with work I'd write my second book, I'd blog every day, I'd teach a ton, focus on the bigger picture and not just the stresses of the day-to-day. Well - that's what I always thought. After my social media break I completely restructured my life. I slowed down. Most important of all: I started trusting. Not trusting has been the biggest reason I've been constantly overwhelmed - I haven't been able to let go of control. Always micromanaging, staying involved in every tiny detail, holding on. But I learned to let go. Now we have great people managing every business, taking care of our employees, manning the ship. The moment I stepped back a bit, the moment I let go of control, everything fell into place. And all of a sudden I'm left with all this time. Time. And space. My schedule is cleared for the year. My inbox is manageable. I let go of control and found that everything is already under control, as it is! The problem is I don't know what to do with all this space. I'm wired to run, to race. What now? I feel uneasy. And all that creativity that was supposed to come oozing out of me? Nowhere to be found. I'm sleeping a lot and spending time on the beach and walking the dogs and doing things that sound like they're lovely and relaxing and vacation-like. But they're not. I'm stressed, from not having anything to stress about. Everything is fine. Everything is calm - and it's stressing me out. I'm on alert, waiting for the next fire to start. Waiting for the shoe to drop. But nothing comes. It's just me... And space. There is a natural flow of things, highs and lows, and I know this calm won't be here forever and that I should settle into it, enjoy it while it lasts. But still I'm left wondering: why is it so hard to slow down?
