I've been watching a fair amount of the Olympics this summer. I am not super into team sports (soccer, volleyball, basketball) but I really love the individual sports. Not sure what that says about me, but I'm sure it means something :)
I've been absolutely soaking up the emotions and the excitement that's oozing out of the TV screen. (Perhaps my life is a little lacking in intensity, be it joy or disappointment.) I've been feeling so drained - for months - and seemingly unable to feel much of anything. I feel like my emotional reserves are filling up now, feeding off the Olympic frenzied victories, world records, athletes' determination and perseverance, and the joy of the games.
This morning, C and I spent half an hour sitting in an isolated spot at a nearby stream: talking, coming up with fun things to do this month, and thinking about what exciting things we could do this fall. I felt such peace and joy. I feel so much closer to an equilibrium now.
How do you recharge and regain balance?
