Il dolce far niente.The sweetness of doing nothing.That’s where I’ve been. That’s what I’ve been up to.No guests to prepare for or clean up after. No helping friends out with their projects.No wondering what to wear.No checking out the music lineup for the day.No planning fun events to throw or attend.No hugs or cheers or howyadoins.And so it would seem that I would relish those 11:00 posts I promised each weekday, and look forward to doing at least something! My opportunity to reach out to the world I miss. But no, actually that is not the case at all… This is known as the theory of momentum. Once a ball starts rolling it takes less energy to continue than it did to begin. The start needs an extra push. A traumatic event often stops everything. And so if you haven’t felt much like doing just about anything you are not alone. A decline in strength is quick when motion stops and the atrophy is significant. To do a little something, no matter how insignificant it may seem, can help especially when having difficulty processing fear, anger, or grief. Even a single focused deep breath in and out can get the ball rolling… some days that may be all you can do. Thank yourself for making the effort. You get to decide when that might be. I want to be more present but am doing my best for now. In the meantime enjoy il dolce far niente <3Stay well,
Il dolce far niente
