Why do I only perform during periods of stress?

My mind works in mysterious ways!

I'm being pulled in a million different directions at the moment, and for some reason I seem to be accomplishing everything with surprising efficetiveness.

I'm not saying I'm some super human over-achiever. In fact most of the stress is self inficted, but due to the emotional rollercoaster- I'm extremely focussed. Is my flight or fight response kicking in?

There are some areas which I'm failing dismally at, but on reflection... I was on a hiding to nowhere there anyway. I'm still struggling with having to make a really big decision with this particular area, and as much my head is telling me one thing... my gut feel is that I haven't explored all the options yet. So do I persist and continue to beat myself up over a losing cause, or do I not give up and fight for something which means a lot to me? Yes- it is as complicated as it sounds... and I'm desperately trying not to think about it, but it's not in my nature to do so.

I'm missing home a lot at the moment.

Anyway- onto the success stories!

I'm doing relatively well at work at the moment.
My first site is now live and we're working out the bugs.
We're almost ready to start on the second site.
I'm about to become a 'Google Advertising Professional'.
I'm going to V-fest, and Edinburgh to watch the boks this month.

So I'm keeping my head down, and my chin up.... (LOL- that's physically impossible if you think about it.)
