Lazy Monday aborted

Of course it is the second day of the work week meaning yesterday was actually Monday. Have you ever planned on having a slow day? Actually, such plans for me was to be executed yesterday. The plan was this simple, you can oversleep and wake up late. I needed to gain that energy, overstretching yourself without finding a balance can swing you off board. You will soon go out of vibes, trust me it is not always good to face its consequences.

So I had a busy Sunday and had to wake up very early. There were a lot of activities to meet up that morning and also had to attend a church service later that evening. Even if it was to be an evening service, early preparation matters. I did meet up with the service which lasted till around 7:pm. time to go? Not yet, I had to stay back and help in an activity in a particular unit that my friend was part of. It is one of those needed encouragement to help strengthen the faith. At first, I was expecting to spend let's say 30 mins and in summary I could at least reach the house within an hour from 7:pm.

The entire story changed, he introduced me to his fellow unit worker and as we were trying to see things through after service we were discussing. It first started from the Christian faith and later expanded into life opportunities. It was indeed a good time with them as I ended knowing more about them and them also about me. There is nothing wrong with associating with people if only they are the right people (right mentality and vision). Something substantial came out of that conversation.

So I finally reached the house after an hour and thirty minutes. It was getting to 9:00 PM already. My schedule was not still done, I had to source for dinner, organize myself before I finally slept off. I can't recall exactly when I slept because I was already tired. You see, that's why I was planning for a slow Monday. I could do that and go scot free from any workload in my office as long as I can kick in with full energy on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I don't basically enjoy that rollercoaster Saturday work but I always end up finding myself in the middle of it. I guess we just love the dying minutes activities, we will work out our energy and our faces will look pale, hahahaha.

That said, slept I did, did it actually go as lazy as I expected? Was it even a lazy Monday at all? As I was about to check the time, a call came in early that morning around past 6:AM and it was not even a customer but my Dad. He wanted me to help him out in something that early. Here we go again, family concerns by 6:AM. A funny one to consider yet what can one do? I hopped out from my bed and got to him on time and within a few minutes his needs were met. Ok, maybe I should head back to bed, Ahh! Dani is not feeling sleepy anymore, it is one of those things when you are off-bed. I was even having a routine clash in the process, my daily exercise has been on a procrastination list and I had promised to get it done that Monday.

After putting myself and room in order I quickly went to my media handle to inform my customers that we are open for business. I in the process put up all my necessary advertising strategies (product and services) as usual. I wasn't expecting to do this that early although it was a necessity. The next thing was heading to training. I spent close to an hour trying to keep fit. Trust me, I wasn't sure I would stay that long after almost a month away. All I wanted to do was to just show up and grow from there. I took up my daily workout challenge and energy was gradually flowing in. The lap building is always one of my big challenges, I couldn't just believe I could push more numbers than expected. I returned satisfied and more energized. What next was the question I was boldly asking myself. Ahh! I thought it was a lazy Monday? Lazy Monday aborted.

Why not post some Threads, write an article, read and also curate what you can? Not bad, I was all in for the challenge. I had to combine freestyle writing with my business experiences and finally pulled out an article. It took me close to two hours to get this article done plus threads and curation which took an extra hour from me. My satisfaction was that it was all fun. I never was that sure of pulling out an article that early, and it all started from a fatherly call around 6:AM. Circumstances can turn dull moments into winning times. As the scripture will always say, man proposes yet God disposes. I am very happy it turned out to be a day of many achievements.

To conclude, let me add, we must learn to switch gears when opportuned. Did I sleep that day? I later did, yet there was much achievement on my desk. I wouldn't blame myself if I never did all this yesterday because for sure and as earlier said, I was tired. Where the energy came from is what I will return glory to God. It was that yesterday's energy that pushed me to keep up with training today, open the office and do the necessary adverts again. It was just beyond a one day thing, it was a day of refreshing ahead of every positive thing that is coming my way. We all have dreams yet in the middle of that dream there are always time constraints, making the most of renewed energy or morale can be a game changer. Do take your rest when due yet pay close attention to your inner mind. There are some days you will have to abort and focus even when not fully prepared.
