“Growth doesn’t happen outside of your comfort zone. It happens while you’re warm and fed, at home and in bed. It doesn’t happen if you stay there, either.
Growth happens in and caused by the vascilation between zones, or rather, throughout the spectrum.
You don’t tan in the sun and you also don’t tan without it having touched your skin (or, rather, UV radiation).
Today my growth is in learning to be comfortable – rest, relax, recover. Sit with sitting with it. Be bored, have nothing to do.
My brain has been strained by a marathon of training. My heart too. I have developed so many skills without rest & sustenance that I can’t use them well, they are sick right now. It gives the term recovery a deeper, broader meaning.
If you don’t use it, you lose it but if you use it too much, you might just break the dang things.
My codary of skills and tools has become cluttered, disorganized, poorly maintained. These things have become stuff, grinding to dust.
I must rest today. So must they.
Just, not to sedentary rust.”
