Well I am back… 5 days of “relaxing with purpose” and a few extra thrown in at the end makes for a longing for more. I am officially relaxed and “destressed”. I tuned out for 7 days, prepared for it rigorously for 14, and now I am on the other end… trying to dive into work and getting back into the rhythm.
And you know what? I don’t want to get back into my old rhythm. I am happy about my slow movement and slow walking and thinking and typing… well not typing. I like my pace right now and I feel that maybe this is the way I work best. From running around from place and page I felt drained and not creative. Now I feel like I can move with ease.
For example, when I got off the plane at one of the busiest airports in the world I just glided through the crowd, got on a train, then a bus, and eventually walked home… all within my new rhythm. Would this happen if I wasn’t so relaxed and so in my own groove? I tend to think no.
So what now? Well, I guess I will embrace this slower pace until my feet move faster or maybe I will just keep remembering and forgetting and remembering again that my new rhythm is right for me and maybe that will work just fine.
