The essay has been finished (4,883 words), sent to supervisor, received back with comments, and awaiting editing. An extended essay written in 3 days does make me proud.
Now I'm awaiting a call from the organisation I have been working with, to discuss editing issues, structure and whatnot. This morning I woke up at 7.30, and since then I have had breakfast, had a bath, done two loads of washing, and gone through all of the feedback (from 6 different people) on the aforementioned report, to get ready for the 'tele-meeting' (ah, next thing you know I'll be using the word 'imagineering').
Yesterday I also presented my thesis structure at a class workshop, and received a few useful comments.
Basically, I'm in a flurry of activity after weeks of procrastination and feeling like nothing deserved to be done. Now I'm finally feeling the pressure, which is the key element for me to be productive. It feels good, to be busy, to have things to do, and to want to do them. It feels very good.
My change in diet I think also helped; at the moment I am logging in everything I eat (on this website) and it's helping me understand what I was doing wrong. It's also making me understand that eating healthy is not boring at all, actually, I haven't been hungry once. It's all about eating the right things, at the right time, and in moderation. So goodbye white bread and pasta and sugary cereal, welcome wholemeal bread and pasta and bran cereal... And lots of fruit and vegetables, which had definitely been lacking from my diet for a long time. Cooking for myself also makes me feel a lot more in control, and the feeling reverberates to the rest of my life.
Today, I feel good, really good. Maybe it's the barley grass powder?
