The past 3-4 weeks in my life have been very stressful, culminating in a tense situation this past weekend. I returned to work today, feeling kinda hesitant this morning as I’d been real off last week and the customer base can tell when I’m not my normal self.
This morning I returned to listening, and the stack was:
- NE EARTH/GLM
- Water (regular title)
- Summertime (regular store title)
I had been running the first 2 last week. Noticed how Water affects me so I was aware of that. Today…
Within …half hour? 45 minutes, tops. Mood much improved, cracking jokes with my wife before she left for work.
Felt great heading in. It’s been a while
Lemme check the work notes:
Conversation is very easy today. It’s very easy to be funny. No feeling of being inhibited in initiating conversation.
I feel warm and cool at the same time. Very relaxed all day long, like walking the boardwalk on the usual anniversary beach trip.
While I have some rumination from the past weekend going on, very easy to set that stuff down and just be in the moment. Making pizza was great today. Felt good to stretch the dough and whatnot.
While it’s not flowing into words well, I can tell the difference that Summertime made in my day, and that was from 30 seconds of exposure.
Well done!
