Life since the conception of this blog has changed so much. Last night, while pushing my bedtime to its latest (which would probably have been early for me last year), it hit me that I had been depriving myself of time to think and reflect, for, well, quite some time. I used to self-impose this by mandatory blogging and yoga, and I think it helped me reach my healthiest point in mind and body...if I ignore the part about the intense sleep-deprivation that ensued for longer than can be justified.
I am happy to say that I have since learned the value of a proper night's sleep. In the meantime, however, I have not given my mind enough respite while awake.
We have become a species in need of constant distraction. You hear this everywhere, I am sure, and you are a victim of this social evolution as well. Hand in hand with this is a need for constant interaction and attention. We are never truly alone if someone is a few keystrokes or finger-taps away. But does frequency of interaction positively correlate with the quality of relationships? And with all the things we communicate, how much of it is true? How much is honest and sincere, and not just a means to say that we are keeping in touch, that we are a good friend?
After many failed attempts at fulfilling my New Year's resolution of doing 5 yoga classes a week, I am trying once again, with the hope that this will be the time that signals the beginning of a healthy routine.
While also hoping that one act of positivity for myself will create a domino-effect for everything else.
PS. Giagi had his first of 20 radiation treatments today.
