Positivity in Getting Back to Work Post-Vacation

Getting back to work after a vacation presents some unique challenges. After taking more than a week offline, I am finding returning to my regularly scheduled program a bit more difficult than I had anticipated. Why? I had a perfectly excellent time. I got to hang out with friends, disconnected and got in a ton of exercise, time outdoors, and sunlight. Though I certainly love my work, it’s not that I don’t have ideas for things to write about. But

What is Impatience?

Patience has never been my strong suit.  I do not like to wait, in particular when it comes to anything I deeply desire. Time may be an illusion, but that doesn’t mean that you can go completely without patience. Impatience comes particularly easily to our society, too.  Our quick-fix, instant-gratification society simply has no

Why are Rest and Relaxation Important?

When was the last time you allowed yourself real rest and relaxation? I am not talking about sleep, or a little weekend escape, I mean actual, factual relaxation and resting from your responsibilities? Modern society frowns on taking breaks.  We have this incessant need to go go go, and anybody who doesn’t reflect that is either lazy, entitled, or otherwise not contributing to the greater good.

Never neglect doing things that are fun. When I was between 11 and 14, I went to overnight camps in upstate New York.  Sometimes we would take hiking treks offsite.  On two or three occasions, we went hiking at a place called Kaaterskill Falls. I absolutely loved this hike.  The falls are in two levels, the middle level having a clear pool one can swim in, and a natural amphitheater behind the falls.  This was one of the hiking adventures

What does a vacation do for Positivity?

Sometimes you need a vacation. Everybody needs to get away from it all.  We all need to reset, we all need to not have our usual routine; we need to be free of our day-to-day existence. Even if it’s only a day, everyone can use vacation. As you are reading this, I am on vacation.  If you’ve been a reader for some time, you will note this time of the year I take the same vacation.  Not only am I

Pathwalking 136

We all need to take a break. I am walking my path on a regular basis, but once in a while there just needs to be a break. More than a break, however, I need to withdraw. This can come in a number of forms. I might take the time to meditate, I might read a book, I might work on some other project that makes me happy. I could go on a hike or hit the gym or attend
