Overall I am satisfied with the past few days of Lunar New Year holiday. I managed to get another afternoon nap today. At the same time, I can see how limited time and now I start to feel a bit shaky as I begin to be nervous whether I can do better tomorrow.
I guess emotional muscle is similar to physical strength: we need to develop strength, endurance, and flexibility.
From running, I learn that both strength and endurance are needed. We need to be strong enough to run. But not just for few minutes or first kilometer, but we need to endure as the strength degrades over time.
From pilates, I learn both strength and flexibility. Sometimes it is not strength that matters but how flexible we are in adapting to the situation and changes. Strength without flexibility makes us rigid and prone to a breakpoint ultimately. At the same time, there are some pilates movement that require strength especially that of core muscle.
So as I begin to work in office again tomorrow, let’s remember to continue developing strength, endurance, and flexibility. I need to develop strength by learning new stuffs or translating theories to applications. I need the endurance to practice to sharpen skills or to understand difficult concepts. And I need the flexibility to adjust when things change.
Like today, I aimed to do many things. But as it is already late at night, let’s stop, continue tomorrow and adjust accordingly both in terms of what to do and how to do.
