Sunday was something of a milestone for me but I'd like to talk about getting there first. Our lives changed drastically since 3/2020. Many lives were lost, work for many shifted to working from home, exercise also became a home based activity, we couldn't attend Church, go out to eat & more. Even as restrictions eased the habits created became difficult to break.
I was fortunate to work in a small office so we continued to work & have the advantage of social interaction & its' positive impact on productivity but other areas of my life suffered. I gained weight. I purchased exercise equipment and watched Church on TV. The exercise equipment was great, until summer and 100 degree temps hit or winter and mornings in the 20s. My weight bench quickly became a great place to stack empty Amazon boxes and my weights were strewn about. A week or 2 back I got rid of the boxes and neatly put away the weights. This was my first official act of the "End" of the Pandemic.
Sunday I returned to the gym & it was good to see others similarly focused on their health. There is something to be said for esprit de corps in reestablishing routines. We also returned to Chruch and were greeted by friends making the experience more significant than viewing on TV.
Now is the time to leverage the benefits of social interaction, return to work vs working at home, gain the productivity & thrive.
I hope that you have a great week!
