Thank you for sharing the beautiful picture. I know how you feel to return to an activity that used to come easy. I haven't played basketball in many years. When I was younger, I said basketball will always be a part of my life. That was before kids, house and responsibilities. My kids signed me up for basketball tournament this coming holiday weekend. Very scary thought but I bought protective equipment and gave myself a month to get some rust off. The goal is to not get injured and not be too embarrassing. A low-bar but a realistic one. Hopefully, I survive.
Jen - you did it!! You didn't get injured, completed the run and didn't fall/embarrass yourself!!
Slow down and hydrate (non-carbonated), healthy snacks, smell the flowers/roses/plants, close your eyes, focus on your breath, stretch your arms/legs/neck, and other methods to get off the hamster wheel. There's a book by Rick Rubin, The Creative Act - it has 78 short tips (each 5-min or less read) that may help recharge/refocus/revive/rethink the way you view the world. Allowing yourself to slow down, also allows room for new creativity to enter.
Take Me With You

Lie down, palms face up and receive healing energy from the universe. Also, just have moments of silence and do nothing. Just be.
