Let’s just come out with it all and put it on the table. I am not a high energy person. I never was, and never will be. So I have to figure out where my energy is going-ALL the time. This means I have to really focus when I want to accomplish something. And when I do, sometimes it’s so razor-sharp that I feel I’m burning calories on the spot. I feel my blood-sugar level drop in the course of a project, and I’m more likely to graze mindlessly while working.
It took me a good 30 years to figure out there is nothing wrong with this, and that I need to stop trying to change myself because my personality does not match that of others. It also took an old very sarcastic friend, a husband who is a musician, and two little girls to get me grounded.
There are those of us with minds like steel traps. We may not seem engaged while others are hyped up on the same deadline, but nevertheless we are studying the problem, and probably have run many circles around it by now. We may not be peppy morning people, but we make resolute problem solvers and very loyal friends.
