Four days into August and its Friday...

OK so last time I asked myself "why have I been slacking?"... and today I had an epiphany... R&R and less alcohol consumption.

When I woke up Tuesday morning a little bit hung over and super tired... I didn't feel like working. And come to think of it I have been a little bit hung over and super tired at least five days out of a seven-day week. Thus the reason why I have been slacking at home, work, and where my health is concerned.

Now I know what you might be thinking... it doesn't take rocket science to figure that out... and yes I know this... but in the same regard my version of slacking is not achieving perfection where as some other people's version of slacking is achieving nothing. Do you follow?

When questioned "how in the hell did you finish school so fast?"... it is because I wanted to. Don't get me wrong here I am not trying to gloat but I am a super hard worker and can accomplish a ton in a day. It just comes natural to me. I am not really sure quite why. So when I wasn't living my life how I should have been I was somewhat dumbfounded.

And today four days into the month... three days after I woke up tired and hung over... I now realize I have a natural high if I get rest and don't drink. I was awake by 5 am. Although it took a little bit to get me out of bed, once I was up, I was wired. I feel great. I love waking up early. I love to be out and about before the sun comes up. I get so much more accomplished early in the morning.

What have I been doing for the past year? Where have I been? Today I got reacquainted with the LD who liked to achieve her goals... the LD who is a morning person... the LD who wants perfection in her life... the LD who is awake and alive... the LD whom I love to be.

And the best part of this feeling and realization is... this LD is better than before... because now I can also have fun. I am not under the stress of school and homework any more. My free time is just that free time... I did not have free time before. So I can still party and have fun, I just need to limit it to the weekends... so I can still have this invigorating high that I need during the week. Life is going to get real good...
