A recent topic of conversation lately has been on my need for a bit more intellectual stimulation in some form.
While I am absolutely loving my yoga classes and clients, I am only getting physical stimulation from the exercise or trying to help people get their bodies a bit more supple. However, the intellectual challenge of project building or problem solving is not quite there.
Although I have considered getting more involved in the planning and carrying out of retreats, which may give me both the intellectual and physical aspect, I am not sure that is exactly what I am looking for.
The truth is that I miss to some degree drinking coffee discussing academics, students, research and the like. I absolutely do not miss the teaching of the population I was interacting with day in and day out, but I do miss some of the work that I was doing outside of the classroom. How can I engage in that kind of work for pay remotely??? π€
At the moment, I am trying harder to tap into my creative writing side, which requires intellectual exercise. Perhaps this will be enough for me once I get into a regular rhythm and routine with it. It is just important to remember that this is a new phase in my life and even though it may seem as if a lot of time has passed, it really hasn’t as I continue to adjust and get used to a new way of using my brain. π
