Feels like a Tidal Wave

Our vacation seems like a distant memory now (sigh).
I came back and hit the ground running at work but that was no surprise.
It seems to be in our nature, when we get busy, to push so much to the side and focus on just one thing that ends up consuming most of our time and perhaps burning us out.
I did just that this week. I neglected my training, physically working out even, did not eat well and probably because of that did not sleep well.

Spent most of the days trying to catch up at work and put out "fires".
So here it is Friday, I'm tired, didn't practice anything martial arts wise and I feel like crap.

A person needs to remind themselves , when we neglect or push to the side the things that act as the foundation to our well being the "work" that we put as a priority suffers as well too. It becomes more quantity than quality, in my opinion.

If we are balanced at the foundation (diet, sleep, physical activity) our mind can only benefit. Our decisions are more clear, we become more productive in what we are trying to accomplish.and there is a sense of balance as opposed to feeling overwhelmed.

I am pretty sure , everyone understands this concept, but today, I needed to put it into words in front of my eyes to remind myself and to adhere to my on advice.
