Hi, guys!
I have two days off left, and now I need to get some good rest before returning to work. I've actually been able to relax quite a bit during this time, and now I'm hoping that after returning to work, I'll be able to ease back into my routine and continue working normally, without putting too much pressure on myself.
I hope this will be true, because my vacation lasted a whole week, but it's been two months since I've been able to get back into a normal routine, and naturally, it's irritating me terribly. So I need to make sure everything I've planned starts working again quickly. I've started trying a system of small steps, starting with exercise. I've started adding one minute to my exercise routine every day, and now my workout is fifteen minutes a day. In a week, it will be 22 minutes, in two weeks, half an hour, and in a month, an hour, and then I'll reach my normal workout duration without pain or fear.
I plan to do the same with other elephantine tasks. For example, tomorrow I plan to add flute playing in exactly the same way. I'll start with ten minutes a day and gradually increase that time to thirty minutes. I probably won't do more than that; half an hour a day will be enough for me to grow in this direction. I'll probably just add another thirty minutes of vocals later. And that's how music will reenter my life.
Then, in the same way, I'll add drawing and other areas I want to be present in my life. And so, little by little, I'll develop a set of activities that I've been too afraid to tackle before. Little by little, in small steps. There's nothing scary about it; I'm just gradually starting to add them into my day.
So far, this seems like a great idea, and I plan to continue in the same spirit.
Have a great day, everyone!
