Inspiration and being gentle with myself

Well, it's been a busy few days. I started a new job and currently await around 8 weeks of training for my appointed role. This training makes me absolutely exhausted by the time I get home, surprising how your brain goes into "rest mode" after a good few months of being out of a daily routine. I need to be gentle with myself, as I don't drink the 800ml's of water I really need to everyday, the 3 days a week of running sometimes only is a day a week, and amidst all this, my dancing is dreamt more than actually done. 

I have to be gentle with myself because I won't have it all worked out and figured out all at once, I do need to drink more, i need to run at least twice a week, and I need to dance even if it's for 5 mins every second day at least but for now it's ok not to. We need to be gentle but inspire and keep ourselves motivated, so I grabbed the book Chicken Soup for the Soul and am encouraging myself with the short stories (sometimes crying more), I watched a contemporary dance production which isn't really my preferred style but I was inspired and saw something fresh and I am taking great thought and planning to my "vegetarian month on a budget". 

Amidst it all, loads of washing needing to be done, packed lunches for work doing the night before and sorting formal work outfits out of a limited wardrobe, I think of dance everyday and I think of my blog even when I am not blogging. I possibly have an artist who is going to design logo's for my blog, I have a shirt design up and coming and a few other bits for the online shop in mind. You see life is a gigantic puzzle of things we love, our dreams, and work that needs to be done. We won't always get it right at the start but recognise what needs arranging and doing in your life but be gentle when it's not as it should be.
