bounce back

It's difficult staying motivated.  It always has been for me.  I'll easily drop one thing and pick up another.  I love to dabble, but I also love to wallow.  I don't hate the dabbling at all but the wallowing has to go.  I find that as soon as I have off days, I will give up on the positivity and wallow in the  'failure'.  But it isn't a failure, everyone has their off days, what matters is how you bounce back from those lazy days.

I've been doing well with my sleep, and meditation.  I'm finding it super helpful to meditate right before I go to sleep. I bought a book that walks you through proper meditation, so I'm excited to dive right into that.  I'm also contemplating going to Buddhism classes once week.  I've never been a religious person however I think that it could be really interesting learning about Buddhism and maybe picking up parts of it that I think would improve my quality of life. 

The last few days I've also spent a few hours reading.  I'm about half way through Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn.  So far I'm really enjoying it, I hope to be through it soon, and on to the next! I have a few books I'd like to read before summer comes.

I have been playing guitar, I was working on some new songs this weekend.  I absolutely love singing, even through I'm not the best, no one has told me to shut up quite yet! My goal is to do open mic at one of the bars here in Halifax.  I meant to do it this summer but I chickened out.  

Those are a few positive things, and I'll work on the rest!
