With all that has been happening in my life lately, I think I am due for another Reboot Weekend - a wonderful two and a half days of blissful peace for my heavy-burdened mind. Essentially, a weekend to myself. It helps, a lot.
Every so often the little "negatives" in my life add up and really hit me. This weekend has seen many of those surface and collect like honey from a beehive - slowly developing a day at a time until I'm covered in a gelatinous goo that makes me feel lethargic in the worst ways possible.
What especially sucks about this is that I have had so many great things in my life to be positive about. 40 Pounds Down, my six-month plan to lose roughly 40 pounds - has been going far better than I expected. Work has been a little slow lately, but nothing awful, so I'm happy there. I have had to reshift my priorities with some of my old friends, but I've come closer to one, made a new one, and get to start over with another - all fresh faces or new angles on old relationships. But still, why do I feel so bogged down lately?
Well that's the point of my Reboot Weekends - to disconnect from everything I currently know, to break from routine and mix up my life for 48 hours and see what comes of it. This total break lets me consider everything that's been going on in my life without my usual routine getting in the way of this - without seeing anyone, without chatting with anyone, or without video games turning me lazy all weekend long. What do I do then? Usually hike outside all day; hit up the various parks in the region, do experimental creative writing, or just putz around wherever I feel like it. Anything that frees my mind from the usual hum-drum of what's been keeping me down and out.
So, will it be next weekend or the weekend after that? I'm not sure, but with all that's on my mind, it needs to be soon.
B3 out.
