Just trying to figure it all out

Spring clean

Urghhh,
I’m having a hard time today, just no motivation to do anything. It started last night, I just feel drained, and this morning when the alarm clock went off, I wanted to roll over and snuggle back under the covers.
Maybe I need to sleep more, maybe I need to change my workouts, I’m not sure yet.
BJJ last night involved lots of choking, and it gave me a headache. It was a carotid artery choke, and when done properly it makes you feel like your head is going to explode with the pressure. Its an odd feeling, I suppose I have never really been choked before, not to the point where I had problems breathing, and its kinda scary. It was good for me to have it done because it made me appreciate where the pressure needs to be put on the other person to do it properly, but I am also glad that I got paired up with somebody who likes me. Could you imagine if it was somebody who had something against you? That would be no fun at all.
I stayed up late last night with a lot on my mind and I realized that I take so much time every day working on my physical health, but I have been neglecting my mental health. I have not really been working on what makes me happy, or what I want from life, I have been too busy kicking the crap out of stuff. So this week is my mental health week, I am going to sit down with myself and work out some stuff in my head, what I want to do with my life, where I want to go etc. I need to make sure that I have plans and goals for my mind like I do for my body. Sometimes it is easy to get carried away in your busy life and forget that you need some personal alone time to reflect on what’s important to you and what makes you happy.
I think that’s why I feel down today, I realized that I have been doing things because they were easy, but they weren’t making me happy, not in the way that I thought they would.
So its springtime, and I am going to spring clean my lifestyle, clear out the cobwebs in my mind and put in some new goals and targets. What is good is that when I am in a mood like this, the one thing that helps me to deal with the stress is cleaning my house.
Simple tasks such as polishing the floors and scrubbing the bathrooms actually is really good to get me up into a frenzy and have time to think about stuff. So tonight my house is going to be spotless, there are a few things that I have just left and I said I would clean them when I had time. Today I am going to make time, my floors will be shiny and everything will be spick and spam. A clean house helps clear the mind, so that is my plan for the evening.
Its so easy to get into a routine, so I hope that you all get 5 minutes to yourselves today to just appreciate how great you all are.

So lets start the brain training with a few new words of the day:
TESTICULATING - Waving your arms around and talking bollocks.
BLAMESTORMING - Sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was responsible.
SEAGULL MANAGER - A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves.
ASSMOSIS - The process by which people seem to absorb success and advancement by sucking up to the boss rather than working hard.
SALMON DAY - The experience of spending entire days swimming upstream, only to get screwed and die.
CUBE FARM - An office filled with cubicles.
MEERKATTING - When someone yells or drops something loudly in a cube farm, and people's heads pop up over the walls to see what's going on.
(This also applies to applause for a promotion because there may be cake.)
SITCOMs - Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage. What yuppies turn into when they have children and one of them stops working to stay home with the kids or start a "home business".
STRESS PUPPY. A person who seems to thrive on being stressed out and whiny.
PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE - The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again.
ADMINISPHERE - The rarefied organisational layers beginning just above the rank and file. Decisions that fall from the "adminisphere" are often profoundly inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were designed to solve. This is often affiliated with the dreaded "administrivia" - needless paperwork and processes.
404 - Someone who's clueless. From the World Wide Web error message "404 not found," meaning that the requested document could not be located.
OHNOSECOND - That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that you've just made a BIG mistake (e.g. you've hit 'reply all')
BEER COAT - The invisible but warm coat worn when walking home after booze cruise at 3am.
BEER COMPASS - The invisible device that ensures your safe arrival home after booze cruise, even though you're too drunk to remember where you live, how you got here, and where you've come from.
BREAKING THE SEAL - Your first pee in the pub, usually after 2 hours of drinking. After breaking the seal of your bladder, repeat visits to the toilet will be required every 10 or 15 minutes for the rest of the night.
JOHNNY-NO-STARS - A young man of substandard intelligence, the typical adolescent who works in a burger restaurant. The 'no-stars' comes from the badges displaying stars that staff at fast-food restaurants often wear to show their level of training.
MILLENNIUM DOMES - The contents of a Wonderbra, i.e. extremely impressive when viewed from the outside, but there's actually naught in there worth seeing.
MONKEY BATH - A bath so hot, that when lowering yourself in, you go: "Oo!Oo!Oo! Aa!Aa!Aa!".
MYSTERY BUS - The bus that arrives at the pub on Friday night while you're in the toilet after your 10th pint, and whisks away all the unattractive people so the pub is suddenly packed with stunners when you come back in.
MYSTERY TAXI - The taxi that arrives at your place on Saturday morning before you wake up, whisks away the stunner you slept with, and leaves a 10-Pinter in your bed instead.
