The last couple of weeks have been rather strange for me. Six projects started or at various stages of completion, one visit to the hospital, ten clients in a week, which is the busiest week since the heights of the real estate boom in 2004-5, and a full stop as my blood pressure decided to go off the scale on Saturday evening resulting in a session of meditation, lying down on my left side and being waited on hand and foot for a few hours.
I am a total glutton for new and exciting projects, only this week I have been offered three more which all look extremely attractive but will involve more work of course. I think it is the lack of an attention span of more than a week or so that does it. However I am sticking with everything at the moment even if some of the projects have actually come to a standstill in the last week or so as the clients rolled in and therefore the clock ticked by.
There is a little worry of course and that is whether the body that thinks of doing all of these projects can actually stand it. Just to be a little zen here, I am not overworked at all unless I start thinking I am overworked am I? It all depends on my point of view. It is interesting to note that my body started to break down at the moment when I admitted to myself that maybe I was actually trying to do too much concurrently. Before that, at least to myself, I was actually fine.

So to cut a long story short, suspected appendicitis and one night in the hospital on a drip to be told the next morning that blood tests and X-Rays gave me the all clear. This week a blood pressure where both figures were well into the 100′s after spending 16 hours a day working last week, even though I actually enjoyed it and the remains of a tingly feeling in my left hand which could be RSI through using my phone too much last week, always the left hand and left ear. Whatever it is, I think a full medical is in order but then again I do have a morbid fear of needles.
Maybe I just need to find a balance and strike it a bit harder.
Any suggestions?
