RE: The Power of Daily Blogging. And Its Drawbacks.
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Since I stopped blogging daily when I went on vacation and then with my decision afterwards, I... have a choice. Every day. To write or not to write a post. When I published daily, I didn't.
THAT! Exactly that was on my mind, but in a different "approach"... When you do something over and over again, you start to do it without even thinking... While I was on vacation and got sick, I was thinking about what I am doing. And why do I always get sick when I'm on vacation?
I realized that in those days, I was not living MY LIFE, but rather the life that others are pushing on to me... Running from one family member to another, from one place to another, from one bar to another... I had 0 control over my life in those days... I was doing what was EXPECTED of me to do... That's not a choice...
I know it sounds like a different thing from yours, but they are pretty similar... Freedom of/is choice!

I agree. It is still about the freedom of listening to your body when it says: "I had enough! I need some rest today!" instead of pushing it for another family obligation. Some people can handle better than others such a marathon. While the family members only see you once each (or maybe some see you multiple times), you need to meet with each of them individually or in small groups, and that takes a lot of energy. With the lost energy, not enough time to recover, and meeting with so many people, that's the "perfect combo" for your body to drop the guard and let the viruses in. Not to mention you usually come after a drive across Europe, but I think I read in your posts that this time you took a flight. I hope you're better now!
I hope you will implement these wise words on yourself too... ;) I suppose in some way, HIVE took a lot of energy from you too...
Haha, it still does, but in different ways. I need to really take it slower.
