I was over in Seattle last week. I was running the registration for an event I had planned for one of my clients. I felt so alive there--it was absolutely amazing! It made me remember just how important it is for me to get over there.
I had been losing a little of my excitement about the move. I wasn't sure what it was but then I figured it out. I wasn't reading my motivational books and I was letting my fibromyalgia kick my butt and I was tired--just plain tired. I started thinking about the money I was spending on my trip to Chicago and the money I'd be spending this month on my trip to Minnesota, and how I have to have about $5000 to move (first & last plus security deposit, an extra month of rent at the old apartment, movers, and incidentals) and how long it would take to save that much if I keep spending it on trips.
I was allowing those thoughts to bring me down. I wasn't thinking about the limitless possibilities any more--I was now thinking about the limiting "realities."
I'm so glad I had the chance to go over to Seattle when I did. I really needed that little boost to my attitude and that gave it to me.
Now I'm back on track, saving my money to come up with the moving amount. When I went over this time I drove so I looked at apartment buildings both on my way to the Seattle Center and back. I saw several buildings I might want to live in. I'm thinking I'll go back over there as soon as I get back from my trip to Minnesota and start looking--see which apartment I actually want so I can more easily visualize living in it.
Enjoy!
