I have a tendency to get involved in way too many things, and then I have no free time or down time to relax. Then I tend to get stressed out about everything! So, I'm trying to end the vicious cycle.
Last weekend I saw friends and made soup. During the week I did yoga once and had a 2 hour practice with some of the guys from Pure Fiction. And that's it. After work, I was able to come home and eat dinner and relax for a bit almost every night. How bizarre. I was not stressed out at having to be 5 places at once.
This past weekend Husband and I went to the DeCordova museum to check out the exhibits inside the museum (we went a few weeks ago and spent the day in the sculpture park). We also went to a house-warming party for friends. That's it!
I am starting to see how normal people who don't play in bands or go to school at night, etc., live their lives, and it's sort of nice. Sadly, I haven't worked on any new Thylacine lyrics or music. But I'm really enjoying some time off from being a musician. I am still working with Pure Fiction, so I still have an outlet for my musical side. But it's nice to not have to practice or write or anything for a little bit. I am slowly learning that I like to have some time to do absolutely nothing.
I suppose that sounds funny. But I am overly responsible and feel like I can't take time to loaf around unless "everything" else is done. And since "everything" can never be done, I was just running myself ragged and getting burned out on so many things. It is weird that I am actually working at trying to relax and have more time. But I'm sure it will become second nature soon enough!
