Another overdue prompt:
|
||
|
||
> Healing. What healed you this year? Was it sudden, or a drip-by-drip evolution? How would you like to be healed in 2011?
|
||
|
||
Once again, the newageyness of the prompt’s vocabulary has initially overcome my ability to think seriously about what it’s asking me. Have I really been *healed* of anything this year? Did I need healing?
|
||
|
||
If I let go of that initial cringe, however, I can see that there has been some healing of sorts in my life this year; for instance, I’ve experienced a huge reduction in my stress levels through a promotion, an at least temporary hiatus in my chairing duties, and a year’s leave.
|
||
|
||
What I’d like, going forward into 2011, would be to translate that stress reduction into actual physical feeling-better. I want to get the thing that’s been eating away at my stomach under control, first and foremost. And I want to learn how to maintain that stress reduction when I return to the hassles of my regular life off leave.
|
||
|
||
A boring set of answers, I fear, and one that recovers much the same terrain as earlier reverb posts, only under the guise of a new metaphor. But I’ve already noted (probably several times) how necessary repetition is to getting me to learn anything, so perhaps this exercise is not in vain.
