On Forced Relaxation
I am in a particularly good mood today. Perhaps it’s this crazy weather, but it also has to do with the fact that I just came home from the dentist. Â I was in a good mood the last time I came home from a checkup.
for the most part, my appointments have gone quicker and easier than expected, but there’s something else that I like about the dentist. As I sit there in the chair with nothing to do, I just focus on my breathing and relaxation. This sort of forced relaxed is why I like some roller coasters/carnival rides. There’s nothing I can do in the situation. You sit still until it’s over, so you might as well relax.
In some ways, I’ve spent the last week doing the same. I guess I’m the kind of person who comes down with a terrible cold in the middle of July. My head wasn’t in the game, so I definitely took it easy when it came to work. I did what I could, Â but I wasn’t writing as much as usual.
To be honest? I needed that. I spent a lot of time sleeping to feel better (I’m still not back at 100%). I stayed home and watched a ton of Stargate: SG-1. And I didn’t feel amazing, but I certainly felt less anxious.
That’s why I’m writing this. Because I have nothing else to do ( Okay, I should be writing a few reviews). I don’t have to be writing this. So I feel more inspiration to write a blog post, even if I’m only telling you that I’m a freak who likes the dentist and being sick. LOL
Everyone should relax more. I’m glad you’re getting better, and writing because you *want* to.
Can’t say I agree about the dentist part, but although being sick is a stress (because it gets my coworkers in trouble), it makes lying down on the couch for days totally ok… Sometimes I almost wish I could get a cold or something because that’s the only time that I rest for real.
Usually I am very worried about not working because, as a freelancer, it’s sometimes unknown. It was different thislast week, though.
