Another leadership principle is the art of recovery.
I've been in freefall lately. Not knowing if the job I'm doing is right for me, not clear on when I'm making choices, feeling like I'm reactive.
While I still have my moments of skepticism, I admit that some of this freefall has to do with what's going on in the stars: http://www.mysticmamma.com/grand-cross-april-2014-astral-insights/
Mostly, I am focusing on letting go of what's in my mind and trusting that this is all part of something bigger. The frustration - rage, really - I'm feeling is in service of a larger shift for me.
I know I care about eating in a way that really feeds and and working my body and muscles because my body is a gift and I owe it to myself and the world to keep that gift in tip top shape. And I have work to do. I have pounds to lose. I'd like to take this journey for myself and in service of my work in the work - be it related to health or not.
It feels like a "gulp" to admit that I want my life to be about fitness and health. And I know it's what will keep me on track. And I know it's needed. It's beginning to feel like something I can't not do.
So, I am recovering from the freefall - taking notes, and sharing. In the hopes that this can be a discussion. I was watching Parks and Recreation and had a moment of love for Rob Lowe's character - Chris. He is active and mindful and working on himself. Sometimes it's just cartoonish, but I believe in it.
Feel free to write in with choices that you've made that you're proud of. Let's call those recovery moments.
