"We slow down, only to hope to be faster afterwards. And boom, welcome to the old movie."
For marathon training this actually helped me get faster 😅
But I guess I got the meaning... took me a long time to actually enjoy taking a rest. Not just a few days but actually weeks. My brain kinda relaxed and gave me totally new ideas what to do with my life. Started learning to draw and now experiment with music... and I had never considered myself a creative guy.
Love the idea of being intentional, mindful, and not on autopilot. I call this creative living. Intentionally (and with curiosity) doing what brings you to life.
In the case of creative living, I define creative as being intentional.
You could be living on island painting canvases, but if you’re on autopilot and don’t feel ALIVE, then it’s not creative.
If you’re living in a city with your kids, with a meh day job, but intentionally doing parkour every weekend and that lights you up, you’re heading in the right direction.
My principe is this: whatever makes you come to life, and feel ALIVE, do as much of that as you can get away with—every single day/week.
