Lazy Sunday

So, this is the first weekend I have had off work in what feels like a lifetime.
Now, I only work part time at the moment, but all the same, there is an atmosphere at the weekend that makes having time off that much more enjoyable. The sun is shining and people are happy.
I visited a childhood haunt at my grandmother's farm yesterday and I have had a mega long walk around the local park this morning, cleared my head, and got some fresh air into my lungs.
All this downtime and countryside living (where there is absolutely no signal or WIFI I might add) has meant that I haven't visited WA properly, on my laptop, for around a day and a half. This isn't a long time, but it felt like a lifetime to me.
So here I am, back to business and I am feeling rather enervated. I want to work... I am dying to get back to work, but my brain is saying no. If there are any "Little Britain" fans out there, this one is for you:

The little voice in the back of my mind is replaying all those motivation memes that I so often read on the net; the "do it now, there may be no tomorrow" sort of memes. In fact, I posted one myself on my facebook (https://www.facebook.com/jade.colgan92 ), and on my Google + (https://plus.google.com/u/0/111726132095917809881) only a few days ago. Those of you who follow me have probably seen this:
So the message I want to share today is - yes, work your socks off, but don't forget to rest! Push yourself beyond the boundaries that you have set for yourself, but don't forget to sit down and look back on the boundaries you have transgressed. Action is important, but so is a little bit of reflection now and again. We can learn a lot from reflecting, meditating, and resting, and although this isn't the WA "action" ethos is about, I am sure Kyle and Carson would agree that a little R&R generally leads to more productivity in the long run.
I am really happy that although I have been working hard, the spark hasn't burned out. A month has passed and I am still absolutely buzzing about Wealthy Affiliate and the prospect of owning my own online business. I love the fact that I only have to visit my profile to see how long I have been here; it really puts things into perspective and makes me want to work harder against the clock. I also love that whilst I have been offline, I have made 7 new friends, and again, this is the beauty of the online world... it is humming with activity 24/7.
I am writing this blog to get back into the swing of things after this short period off, and to try and break out of the lingering lethargy of laziness that has descended upon me.
Tomorrow as it is a new week, will be the time to smash all of my goals and expectations.
Moving on up! (after a nap).
Don't forget to rest!
Jade.
