Sharon LeahIn response to all the qutnieoss, I will say that I have failed to some extent most of the time with pacing and writing stories, and with managing my spending, etc. The energy fizzles too soon. But I have learned, because I keep trying and because I keep learning, that I do have control over what I do. Once I realized that I am in control and can't blame external circumstances, I still had trouble though. I kept looking for an antidote to my past behaviors and I have found it in mindfulness. Although I am only a beginner, I do believe that the practice of mindfulness will help me manage my energy, stress, anxiety, and productivity. I'm really looking forward to what will come in the future.
