FEELING LONELY?

The other day I caught myself feeling low. Work had slowed down and I was given more time than what I had in a long time. 

I noticed an uncomfortable feeling of loneliness sneaking up on me. 

Many of my clients and friends had notified me about being away and even though I love my own company, I felt like it was not chosen this day to just be with me. 

It had me reflect on the past 3 months which have been non stop on the road. Travelling every weekend for 12 weeks. Extreme highs with the honeymoon, by best friends bachelorette and her wedding to mention a few. 

While at home, in between travels, I squeezed in as many clients as possible, so had little time to slow things down. 

It felt like I went from 100-0 real quick. 

I strongly believe there is value in every life experience and I realised that I had relied on external dopamine hits. Just observing what was going on and responding to it. 

Pleasant to do when what you are observing is pleasing to you, not so pleasant to do when it’s not. 

It showed me where to adjust my focus. Turning it inwards again. Taking back the control of the steering wheel and back to setting the tone in my life. 

Do you tend to rely on external dopamine hits to determine how good you feel? 

No right and wrong, but notice how vulnerable you get when you rely on something external. What if it’s not there?
