This is me, at my best…

This past few months, I’ve been feeling really well balanced (yes, despite my 13-14 hour work days, I do schedule time to relax and have time with friends, and of course my workouts). I’ve gotten back into my early morning routine of heading to the gym, doing some work before heading to the office, having breakfast, then head to the office, and work really hard. I have been leaving my office around midnight every day (I get into the office around 9am, but I’m awake around 6 am).

I have been noticing my energy levels being consistently high, and I feel I am accomplishing a lot. I was walking with my good friend Minna this past week, and she mentioned that despite the fact that I may be tired sometimes because I’ve been working so hard, it’s a good tired. And she said the phrase that has stuck with me “this is you, at your best”.

And she is right.

Right now, I feel powerful, energized, I feel that I am accomplishing almost everything I am setting myself out to. I am exercising every day, I am getting enough sleep, I’m eating healthy and balanced, I’m still spending time with friends (I went to little Aiden’s birthday last weekend, as you may have noticed, and I had a chance to hang out with Chris Walts and Lorraine Murphy a bit last night).

I am undoubtedly working really hard. Teaching, research and consulting are the bulk of my money-making work. And on top of that, I’m still doing social media (blogging, building my online Twitter community, covering events, doing giveaways and promoting local businesses and non-profits).

But every day, I put on my earphones and begin playing music on my iPod as I walk to the bus stop, and I read my Twitter stream and my news, and I reflect as I do this “wow, I feel SO great”. I feel capable of achieving just about everything, and I feel that my life is showing balance. I’m happy. I’m healthy. I’m in one of my best moods, even though it’s rainy and dark out. If there is one way to describe how I feel it would be how my good friend Andre Malan described the Hummingbird604 persona: “bullet-proof”.

This is me, at my best.
