2:30 a.m. and my eyes are wide open.

I can always tell when I’m stressed as I begin to see 2:30 a.m. roll across my bedside clock way too often. And I’m in another one of those phases.

This time my head’s running off with things that need to be done – new website, speaker’s kit, existing clients, new clients…on and on. I used to fight it, but know that if I do I’ll definitely see 3:30 then 4:30 and eventually 5:30 as I toss and turn.

So now I just get up, turn on the computer and let it flow because in the end, my stress is nothing more than creativity screaming to get out. Which begs the question, what the heck is going on during my normal workday that’s stifling my creative flow?

I think it has something to do with not taking the time to let my mind run free during the day…to always be thinking about the next thing, the next opportunity, the next challenge. Reality is that we can only accept so much input before we’re filled to overflowing and 2:30 a.m. is my warning sign.

So today it’s time I turn to my bike as there’s truth to the saying that it takes about half a tank to clear the mind. It’s sitting on full and going to be a beautiful day so think I’ll clear the deck and go for a ride. 

After all, that meeting will still be there tomorrow…it always is.
