and I hope they do reward you financially as well for that.
I earn very well and the commissions on my results this reporting year will be sizable.
I've spent many years burning the candle at both ends when required and have devised many ways to mitigate the effects of it, and knowing when and when not to do so. I'm fortunate enough to have worked hard and put myself into a good position that means I can be a little selective these days and that helps to keep my (emotional) vessel topped up.
I generally keep my personal phone of flight mode most days as I don't like to be distracted by it. I'll flick it off and answer a reply on Hive now and then, but generally flight mode is on. I purposely didn't take my phones today as I wanted to remove technology from my thoughts, even knowing it wold mean no photos. It's ok though, I have hundreds from over there and thousands from other places so there's always something to punctuate my point when I make a post.
Thanks for your comment, I think the first I've ever received from you.
I am quite terrible at keeping that balance if I am honest! I need to learn to listen to my body and mind more. And I agree, technology can get overwhelming some days.
I was away from HIVE for a bit due to a bunch of things that happened. It simply had to take a back seat. But things are improving, my mental health being the big one, so I am trying to make the most of my time here now! 🌻
If you have this need (which clearly you do) I'd suggest a little time to make it happen. You might be amazed at the results.
We all have things to take care of in the real world around us and Hive, in the grand scheme of things, isn't as important as many other things. I hope you're getting things moving in the right direction and are finding some momentum.
I am slowly gaining traction! Oddly I am finding that my recently started vegetable garden is offering me quite a bit of stress relief, not to mention it can be quite a good physical workout. I live in a city so natural areas are sparse in addition there is a safety issue, so I can't really go off on my own. But even the little bit of natural world interaction in the garden is making a huge difference already. 💚
It's not odd, I have a vegetable garden also and the value I get from it goes beyond better tasting vegetables. It's a healing if sorts, similar to my hike earlier today. I think you're on the right track.
Thank you! It definitely feels like it. And I am for sure looking forward to snacking down on the fruits of my labour, eventually. But just seeing how the plants develop and grow is very rewarding in its own right.
When you get your snack-on you'll be feeling pretty good about things. There's something nice about the whole process of course, but that moment you cook and eat the produce is gold.
