An excitable state of being...

How easily excited are you? And no, I don't mean in a sexually aroused way, it's way too early for that!

Do you find yourself excitedly planning things? Are you the sort who likes having things to look forward to and then whizzes around in an excited pool of excitable happiness? Or are you a bit more practical and nonchalant about prospective things?

The right place

I get excited about certain things.

I recently decided to walk the West Highland Way and I’m loving the planning and anticipation.

I love planning things out, and get quite excited at the prospect of doing new things or meeting new people. It is tinged with an element of practicality, so if if falls through I don’t end up bed ridden crying for a week.

Life is for living after all.

I am very pragmatic, not at all easily excited

When I hear people on the radio winning cash prizes and they go full on demented, live on air, I always think what an anti-climax it would have been if I had won

'Bussy, you have just won TEN THOUSAND POUUUUUUUNNNNDS'

Me: 'thank you, that's great'

I'm not a planner but get easily excited about little things as they pop up.

Nature excites me, I'll endlessly excitedly point things out as I see them on walks

But but but planning is so much fun! You can have an organiser! And even a spreadsheet if you're that way inclined! Last minute things are good but I'm too antsy to leave it 'til then.

I very rarely get excited about anything. I look forward to stuff, but that’s as far as I go. And whilst I am not a very organised gal, I do like some routine in my life (but not too much or I feel hemmed in), I do like to plan ahead but not too far ahead because else I’ll just worry about something going wrong.

I’m a pain in the ass

I love a good plan.

And the required back up plans incase Plan A goes south.

Today I'm catering a bbq for some friends. Its nothing too big or complicated. Less than 30 people.

I have planned everything out in my head and I'm so well planned that I appear nonchalant and calm but inside I'm vibrating.

I have butterflies in my stomach now, for when I start cooking in 4 hours

a bit of this.

Currently I'm absolutely buzzing with excitement because the fringe is back and I'm performing in it. However the panic is also there because I've so much to do to be ready for it. Then, I go back to giddy excitement about sharing this amazing experience with friends and over costumes.

The plan is that there is no plan.

Planning things makes me want to cancel them - even if it's something fun.

What I do generally relies on the mood I'm in at the time.

I'm very excitable about some things; goats in onesies, cake, holidays several months away, but last minute happenings send me into a tizz. Planning fun stuff is super exciting and I love that process. I tend to be very physical with emotions, so happy little jumps, hand claps, skips etc when excited are the norm in our house. I rein it in when in public though.

I feel we balance them . They can't hate EVERYTHING and it's super exciting when you see a little glimmer of excitement grow in them too!

But then I can just be in a good mood, or energised by the sun and suddenly decide on a random trip out somewhere just because I can.

I used to get excited.

Now I expect hurdles and let downs coz that's the norm. Everything you plan involves other people, because other people are everywhere. People with no connection or involvement are still connected and involved without even realising. Every vehicle and pedestrian taking the same route, every person in the shop, every person who's interacted with every other person, every piece of technology we're using or reliant on etc etc... they all shape everything around every moment

Hurdles aren't insurmountable. Other people don't always let you down. You're right it involves other people but sometimes things all come together perfectly. I do overthink things but I'm too excitable to dwell on them too long.

We both get excited and absolutely love having things to look forward to. We even get excited for having day off work together where we can spend some quality time together. I'm also excited about signing up to bootcamp which starts this week, does that make me sad?

We also enjoy spontaneous plans too. Life is good and is exciting in itself some days, without having plans. You can create your own excitement out of simple things.

But plans are fabulous.

Due to my mental condition, I take things literally. So if someone asks me to meet, I’m taking it that you’re being serious and I’ll have some fun planning it. Then I’ll be too excited once the date/time/location has been decided.

Weirdly enough though, if nothings been arranged or discussed; then I’m seriously nonchalant about it

I’m planning C’s birthday gifts/surprises and I get so excited about it. I probably have that smug, I know and you don’t face on!

But I also love to be spontaneous too...last year I woke up and decided to do the Yorkshire 3 peaks...26 miles. No training other than gym work.

So a mix of both for me is my ideal.

Complicated.

Too much excitement and I boil over in a mess of mania and anxiety.

In some ways I find the planning and anticipation the best bit but the actual doing a let down and anti-climax.

On the outside I can seem grumpy and joyless but on the inside a volcano is raging.

Managed excitement with planning and patience.

At the moment I get quite excited by starting a new book or podcast series.

Planning surprises for another's birthday is very exciting, that smug grin should be well and truly plastered across your face smugly.

26 miles spontaneously? I'm not as much of a masochist but I agree with a mix of both being ideal.
