Enjoying Coffee and cake

 

It's a perfect day today. Just have to wear a light jacket. Not too hot. Not too cold. It is 13 C, 10 in the morning. 

I did not sleep well last night. Woke up at 3.30 am. I was trying to go back to sleep.

Nothing was working out. I think we start feeling too much pressure at the time everyone is sleeping and we wide awake at nearly middle of the night.

The first thing we have to calm down.Things will not be under our control until we are not relaxed. It works all the time. No use of tossing down in your bed.

I used to switch my computer on to distract myself at that time. Get busy with Scrabble, cards and word search. It takes some time. Works out after a while.

I am off today, so I don't have to go to my library for my part time job. I was not in a hurry to be out of my bed in the morning. I count playing Darts as my part time job.

Nothing wrong with tricking yourself to feel good. We have a structured lifestyle throughout our life. Our days are filled with the time tables of going to school and afterwards to work.

After we are retired, we have to manage the rest of our life on our own. We have the whole lot of twenty four hours every day. So much to plan about.

Other factors also start coming up to tackle at the later stages of life. We start losing our strength. Our body is old, weak. Nerves also are not the same as in the earlier time.

Our family life is not the same. Kids have their own houses. Busy with their own families. Our friends, some gone, others not in good shape. We all are in the same boat.

It is very important to keep ourselves up. We have to take the well-being of our mind and body as our top priority. Try to gather moments of happiness from around.

I take playing Darts like my part time job to trick myself. It helps to feel that I am not retired. I am still in the rink. Small things also matter to boost our will power. It helps to manage our mood swings too.
