Does it ever seem like life is waiting for you to make up your mind? It is all about perspective, practice, decision making. And normally, I balance things easily . . . except when I am in a rut.
Things pile up. Chores go to the wayside. Time for the things I love to do is lost because I am on the computer. I sometimes feel like I struggle with trying to find my way through this sea of technology because it is so easily distracting. I want more that sitting in front of a screen and watching the world through it. Yet, I find myself so easily loosing time here. Feeling Immovable. Feeling Stuck. It takes away any inspiration I may find.
The breath of fresh air that I so desperately needed came today when my husband announced that we were going on a walk. And in the time it took for all 6 of us to walk to the park, I found myself again. I noticed the blooms, the smells, the noise, the patterns. And I wanted to harness them and take them home with me. It was a serene time and it was all to quickly over. I scolded myself for not having the camera with me, because I could have captured the moments. And then I thought to myself, I need to experience the moments through my eyes and not have a lens between myself and reality.
The same goes for the computer and work. I don’t want this to be my reality. I want it to be a part of my life . . . not a lifestyle.
Where in your life are you feeling stuck? What changes can you make to get out of your rut?
Nice post, I totally relate, technology can be such a time sucker. Walks with no camera, always a good way to find joy and connection again….
