Well folks how are we all doing?
What a crazy last few months it has been. The world can often feel like is about to explode and your world implode.
So that is point today to combat those very real feelings. Consistency in life is your friend.
I would highly recommend a steady and stable routine to any of you out there that feel out of sorts at times.
These past few months have been crazy for me, as I am sure they have for you. For the last month I have had a motorcycle parked in the middle of my 450 square foot studio. I had to remove some workout equipment to make room for the bike. So no working out. Soon tools and grease were all over the place. My bed was often a place for holding wiring diagrams and extra tools. I had limited access to my fridge as the bike and tools often blocked opening it.
Long story short. I had a lot of electrical issues I was working on with the cycle. Florida weather is often hot and even more importantly rain, which made working on it difficult. So I brought her in and then could work on it when I was in the mood. What a great and terrible ideal all at the same time.
I also had to move all my furniture from the north wall, my TV is on that wall by thee way :), as it was having structural construction done to it daily, for a couple of weeks. Every day over those weeks I would get up. Fold up my futon bed. I would disconnect the cable and move the TV to the futon/couch. Behind that all the Motorcycle chaos went on. My dresser and music equipment was also pulled into the center area of the room. I left a partial pathway to the front door.
This has been my life for a month. Work. Greasy hands and nails from turning wrenches. No exercise. Lots of margaritas from eating out a lot. Of course partying. Some from cabin 'lockdown' fever the other from just not wanting to go home at times. Nothing in it's place. Bath towels getting mixed up with greasy shop rags. Stacks of mail, motorcycle manuals, and hand drawn diagrams.
So today was the first step. The bike was finally put back together and now on the back porch. I doubled my space almost with that one move. :)
So hopefully I will get the furniture back in some kind of an organized arrangement. I still have a bunch of tools to reorganize. I got old parts to store, sell on Ebay or throw out.
What a freaking headache of a mess. I mean my life has felt totally crazy. Of course, throw on top of it a pandemic and riots, work hours getting cut...everything often seeming in the brink of balance.
So the goal. Is to get things back in order and start working out again. Hopefully cut back on the partying....
My message to you. If you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed try to get some structure. Something as simple as getting back to basics with food, clothing, furniture can help you focus more. More stuff lying around for me. More unease and chaos. No consistency in sleep, diet or routine can often lead to a sense of overkill as well and make focusing tough. No matter what the times are we all want to keep a good head on our shoulders. I am a man who often leads both lives. Believe me, structure and order are the things that can help you feel better and help you be a better person to be around.
So that is my advice for the week. Structure, good diet and consistency can lead to improved lifestyle. A happy lifestyle is what we should all be trying to obtain.I know this seems simple, but sometimes we forget about the simple things.
Take Care. Take time to respond or say hello if you like :)
Much love - Ty Wilson
