The Drought Has Ended
I’m back. It has been a few months since I last blogged, but I plan to resume a more regular posting schedule. The last few months were a good break for me. I took a five week vacation, I added two new members to my team at work, I re-prioritized my personal goals and have a refreshed enthusiasm for getting things done. I’ll be writing several posts in the next couple of weeks about what I have learned during this time.
But for now I just want to say, the best thing you can do in life is shake everything up once in awhile. I took a five week break from my regular life. This is unheard of for me. Prior to this trip, I had never spent more than 8 days on vacation. It was the best thing I could have possibly done.
I had no idea I was so stressed out. I had no idea I was so unhappy with my normal routine. I had no idea I wasn’t making any progress on the things that were most important to me.
Don’t get me wrong. i didn’t do any deep soul-searching on my trip. Flipping through my travel journal it’s pretty much about the food we ate, the wine we drank and the stupid fights I got into with my brother. But taking an extended break from regular life was exaclty what I needed to open my eyes to the fact that I didn’t really like my regular life. I was stuck in a rut and didn’t even realize it.
In the coming days, I’ll write about my trip and what I’ve done since I’ve been back to revitalize my regular life.
