Phase changes create difficulty. The shift, for example, from one side of the Atlantic to the other. Not, perhaps, technically a phase change, but a transition nonetheless.
To ease this transition, I offer these suggestions:
- Regular doses of Pimms (pimms, fruit, mint, ice, carbonated lemonade)
- Running (the harder the better, more difficult to dwell on ideas, must focus on breathing)
- Crossfit (see running)
- Hanging out with friends (add wine, food, music, etc.)
- Movies (I have yet to do this...but it sounds helpful)
- Food (in copious amounts)
- Pool (will it stop raining?)
I am following this regimen.
First, I ran this. You can't see it, but it's f@&*ing steep
Done! See the way I'm tossing that totally unnecessary shirt? That's because I don't need it! I'm done!
Why am I making that face? Because I ran faster than I ever have. I'm tired. (please note: mouth open, eyes closed. Yeah, that's me.)
