starting slowly...

I've been a little quiet on the blog this week. I've actually been very quiet. It wasn't intended but it happened when i had to bring my computer in for a new hard drive.  I thought bringing it in would mean that I would find another way to work and post.  But instead, an interesting and unexpected thing began to happen -- I relaxed. I let go of all of the ideas of what I should be doing. I decided it was okay if I didn't push myself too hard this week. That maybe what I needed for the start of 2013 was not to hit the ground running but to heal and rest (I just got over a bronchial infection).  If I learned anything from my recent stress fracture, it is to listen to your body. Maybe instead of starting the year frantically working and hoping to catch up with all that I feel I needed to get done the day before, I need to do the exact opposite.  Relax and come back into work with a clear head.

What about you? How are you starting the new year?

  1. I love the rest and relax idea. The holidays were nutso and it's nice to get to chill a bit before the grind starts again.
    Hope you're healing well and quickly.
