Recovery Day



This morning was Recovery Day in my spinning class.  It is supposed to happen about every 6 weeks.  But, because of some die hards that are teacher's pets...it comes when it comes.  I love recovery day.  The premise of recovery day is you spend all the previous work out days working to your maximum...striving to stay at the peak...making those muscles burn.  Then you body needs a recovery day.  It is not that you don't sweat or have a good workout...it just means you are working at a level that allows the muscles to rest and heal.

Today as I was spinning my brain was free floating...recovery...hey! this idea would work in other areas of life.  You're putting in the maximum effort and suddenly something tells you...hey, you need a recovery period!  And so in relationships with others, you work to be healthy, you put a lot of effort into understanding where you have been in this relationship and where you are going.  You see the patterns, you hear the same yada yada...but now, you accept that you need a recovery day.  You give yourself a break and you let the mind move at a nice peaceful pace, instead of your normal frenetic pace...and then you hear it...your 2010 word...

RELEASE....ahhhhh
