I have been putting myself under too much pressure once more. Only one month into 2012, I have set myself far too many projects, most of which I want to finish before I have even started. I can be so very impatient.
When I put myself under pressure it seems that my mind fills with so many thoughts, about everything, anything and all.
I would like to take my mind of things a little more, learn to switch off. So know all I need to do is think about how I shall go about this?
This is my current Top 10 Thinking Therapies!
- Reading
- Music
- Cross Stitch
- Running
- Bubble Bath
- Walk in the Woods
- Gardening
- A Tidy Home
- Thoughts Notepad
- A Magazine
So the question I have for you today is how do you all cope with pressure or stress? What are your strategies, indulgences or hobbies? I need to clear my mind, no doubt to make room for further thoughts!
Nice to see you again.

Hello PP
ReplyDeleteFirstly, can I just say how much I enjoy reading your blog! I can completely sympathise with your latest post and after many a similar days to yours I wanted to share my strategy to keeping a clear yet creative mind. I always try to ensure one project is complete before starting the next, this motivates me to finishing the project! I keep a sketchbook handy so that I can jot down all the ideas that are cluttering up my head which are then stored and saved for another day - interestingly, I often look back at the sketchbook and wonder “what was I thinking”! This leads me to my final point which is to spend time pondering ideas, if you love the idea that much it will still be there in a couple of weeks, months or even years when you have the time to realise it.
Don’t be sad or feel bad about having a creative mind, it’s a good thing to be constantly inspired, you wouldn’t be able to do what you do so well if you’re mind didn’t run away with itself sometimes!
