This is most I’ve been truly bored in my life. Up until this month, the gym and doing physically active things were my main outlet. I am currently on full body restrictions with only 10 approved daily exercises lol. I can do house chores in small increments. I’ve been playing Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I have to set a timer to get up every 20 minutes. Sitting at the table for an amount of time hurts. I’m thankful that I still have mobility and can walk around, but nature don’t grow fast enough for me! I’ve had to borrow money lately because insurance and some unnecessary spending habits. That all ends this month! I cannot live with this barely making it financially stress, and there are changes that I can make.
Anyway, I’ve always told people that boredom is a great blessing in disguise because that’s when you start to experiment with things that are available and with your skills. You start to dabble in different areas of life, maybe take some classes online, paint with no vision in mind, plant some seeds and see how it goes, learn a new instrument, the list goes on and on…
I know this whole being out on short term thing is a big lesson for me.
1. I need to ask for help. I can’t do it all, especially if I want to heal.
2. Even though I have a high pain tolerance, I do not need to push through it until my body can’t do anything anymore. I have too many things to do in my lifetime. I will listen to my body when things feel out of whack, physically or intuitively.
3. Use the down time to learn some new things that are not physical. I do love learning especially when it’s something that really intrigues me. College ruins that curiosity, with all the deadlines and grades.
The hard part is patience and continuing to practice every day with teeter-tottering motivation. 🫨📈📈📉📈📉📈📈📉📉📈📉📈📈📉
