Solitude: Relaxation, Reflection, and even Luxury

I feel rested

I think I knew something was up when I started going to sleep at 7-8pm and would wake up at 7:30am. My body had not been getting enough sleep. I was wearing myself out.

Getting better was going to take a multi-pronged approach:

  1. Sleep
  2. Food
  3. Exercise
  4. Treatments (adherence)
  5. Social

Finding nutritious hobbies and actvities took a lot of work. But it was worth it.

I am 10x the music producer hobbyist now than I was before taking some time to recharge.

I am 10x the PlayDate console expert, working up my Pulp game development skills

I have faciliated volunteer meetings for local causes, and attended and participated at city club meetings.

Most of all, I switched off some. I put distance between me and the internet.

This final stretch of time before returning to a normal work schedule, I want to really relax as much as possible and achieve solitude.

I took the event of my phone battery inflating and getting a new phone 2 weeks later as a much deserved joyful experience, if stressful at times, it was about growth.
