Time out

The last 10 years have been strange to say the least
Running a small business ...Looking after Mrs R .......Needy tenants from buy to let investments.....Workers not turning in for work.....Customer grief ....ETC ETC you get the picture.

10 years of high stress levels, drinking and eating crap to get thru the day to pay the bills.
(No I wouldn't do it again for all the tea in China)
Running a small business is pretty tough here in UK if non payers don't get you the Tax man will....

Anyway back last November I decided to quit that business. It's now just ticking along until end of March. Then done.
So no stress...Then quit drinking....Less stress again.....Then quit smoking even less stress....Now eating a lifestyle change diet....I have cracked it.

What I've found is that I'm now indifferent to every outside problem..I don't worry if I'm late..If I forget something..If I put the bins out or get the car washed ..I worry about zero....I am in my own bubble
I feel free for the first time since my teens ..I also feel in control of what I'm going to do and not do.
I'm having a Time Out

I wont be taken advantage of, manipulated I won't get bogged down with others' c**p. No negativity, that's a big face palm

It's really all been quite liberating I feel like I've been reborn

Today I'm strong (I do have stone days) But this feeling that I've regained , I'm never letting go of again.
Call me the "Mr. Indifferent "
Be at peace, be happy, be sober
All the best
Dave
