Do you sign yourself up for too much?
I started wondering recently. Do I do to much, do I need to make more time for my boyfriend, friends and family? I find trying to juggle my pole training, flexibility training and attending classes is difficult enough without having to work full time and talk to people and stuff!
Like tomorrow I will drive for an hour to attend pole fluidity class at 11 – 12 pole training 12.30 -1.30 then rush from there to try make it to belly dance ws that is another 35 minutes away! And u hope when im home to do glex training. ( this is my day off work can I just say)
This is just an example, I can train pole at home and I normally stretch when im hanging out with my boyfriend. But i travel 2 hour round trip at least once a week to go to a pole class. And then I train alone in addition to this.
The only thing I am not happy with right now is my job, I have applied to go back to college to have a career change, it will cost a fortune but will that change anything? Will I still be unhappy about the fact that although I need a wage, it interferes terribly with my training!
So am I mad!? Or am I too used to seeing people not utilising their time? Am I being dedicated or just plain ridiculous? What would I be doing instead, probably sweet f××k all! ^_^ -

Do you love your training? If yes, then I think you’re doing the right thing being dedicated to it. And sure, maybe you are used to people who don’t have a passion like you do. Sometimes I think of the people around me and ask myself, what do all these do? I guess many are busy with families. If you’re taking enough time for your boyfriend, family and friends depends on your own and their personality. Some are introverts with low social needs, like myself for example. I don’t have needs to “hang out”, when I’m seeing people it’s because I want to see them and not because I need company. I’m single so I can use my spare time as I want, but I’ve read here and there that some BFs are complaining when their partners are just training lol. Is your boyfriend like that or is he fine with how you’re keeping things together? Spend your time according to how you like it, and not according to some possible idea about how things “should” be.
Sometimes I also think that I’m a bit mad:), and I know I’m not the only one getting that thought from time to time. But then when I think further, that if i didn’t do this, what I would do that would be so much BETTER? I’m not the family-type so that’s out of question. It is good as it is now, I’m just very busy that’s all. Reading books is nice but not challenging/creative enough.
I think switching jobs sounds like a good idea for you. It’s an important part as you spend many hours there a day. Personally, I don’t really feel that my job is destroying my training, it’s more like I’d like to have my day stretch another three hours or so… I’ve noticed that I’m more focused and dedicated when all routines are on track. Being off work doesn’t make me more eager to train, rather lazy. I do my training but not with the same enthusiasm.
I don’t know if this helped, but they were just my spontaneous 0.02$ to your post!
