I’ve been go-go-going for several months. There was definitely some good in that going
but a lot of it felt anxious and like I was running a race that didn’t have a
finish line. The cool thing about life,
and the body, is that it really won’t allow you to do that indefinitely.
I have been experiencing a mandatory body slow down in the
form of a summer flu. I have been experiencing
it over the last two weeks and even though I don’t feel great some really great
things are coming out of it. In an act
of resisting the slow down – I cleaned the house, got rid of a bunch of things
I don’t want to wear anymore, I’ve made dinner, and I’ve written cards to my
good friends. Oh, and I've done a bunch of reading! I also went thru a box of old photos and found lots of fun memories of a friend that recently passed.
Somehow, even though I’m sick, I’ve re-connected with myself. My creative self. My inspired self. My self that realizes I don’t have to be
doing quite so much. I don’t wish being
sick on anyone. But what I do recommend
is a mandatory or non-mandatory slow down.
It is good for the self.
