1. When I am overtired, sick, dealing with a stressful event, or overstimulated (or, god forbid, all of the above) I feel very raw, frazzled, impatient, and short. An exhausting struggle to keep from being a bitch ensues. Sometimes it gets the best of me. This brings me feelings of shame, failure and guilt because sometimes it affects the ones I love.
2. Hi. My name is Dana and I am addicted to screens. We don't get TV not just because it's mostly crap and a time suck but because when it's on, it grabs my attention to the point that my ADD mind goes into hyper-focus and the Alpha state. Same goes for the computer and iPHONE. I disappear into these things and loose total track of time. I strive to live a full life and I abhor the affects that I'm seeing on people because of technology-especially our children. I could go on and on....But first I have to deal with my own addiction to it. I need to turn off and tune in more often...get on a more strict "screen schedule" and least make better use of my screen time instead of just tangent surfing. This month of writing on my blog has been great for me....purposeful. I need to be the change I want to see...and be a better role model. It truly IS an addiction.
3. I am TERRIBLE at keeping my life organized, timely and tidy. My schedule, cleaning the house, getting things done, remembering things. I HATE this deficit in me. And that's all I want to say. What CAN I say? I try....
