It is always amazing to me how long it takes to recover from busyness, travel or any upset to a routine. I often wonder if it is an age thing or if it is perhaps more of a statement on the toll of having structure; in other words, perhaps life should really be a bit more carefree if it is such a struggle to get back ‘on a schedule’?
For someone like me, coming to this realization is a difficult one as my life is ruled by schedules, structures, alarms, etc. Without it I feel a bit loss, disjointed and most importantly, unproductive.
With that said, sometimes I need this as well to bring balance to my life. This weekend was a perfect example of this.
My only plan this weekend was to sleep and rest to recover from the week. With the long yoga weekend last weekend, which normally takes me about two or three days to recover from, then the quick turnaround whirlwind trip to Egypt; I had no time for recovery.
Therefore, in between my regularly scheduled lesson and sessions, I was napping on the couch in front of the TV. We did go out to see a few friends during the day, which was very chilled out and relaxing. Although our normal weekends are quite full, it was most definitely needed and appreciated to have a more flexible and quiet one.
Now, I am refreshed and ready for the week ahead. It is time to re-engage and focus on drawing in more clients for the business and getting my writing done – am a bit behind in meeting my regular article deadline….
So, it is back at it!!! Life is good, though – very good.
