I pushed through the resistance today. I noticed that I became reactive and overly stressed at work, immediately gobbling down 3 large chocolate chips cookies and putting my pancreas on notice. I found, as usual, the rise and crash of my insulin levels (like the stock market and the tsunami) are not actually helpful as a coping strategy. Isn't the definition of crazy doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result?
So, I tried writing as a coping skill. Bingo! It actually works. I spent 90 minutes tonight revising Chapter 2 of my novel and writing character notes on my heroine. I forced myself to work on the revision. Sometimes the process of writing a novel is overwhelming!
Total time today: blogging 30 min, audiobook 90 min, novel revision 90 minutes.
3.5 hours
Note to self: more writing, less sugar.
