Where does your energy want to go?
Reflections on Decemberitis
I have a terrible case of Decemberitis.
I don’t want to look for a job. I don’t want to hustle for clients. I don’t want to *UGH* network or reach out to former colleagues or think very hard about what the next chapter of my career is going to be.
I want to lounge on my couch, eat chocolate, and hang out on Substack with all of you. Preferably while listening to holiday music.
That actually tells me something pretty valuable. It tells me where my energy wants to go right now.
My energy does not want to embrace hustling or a sense of urgency, probably because it wisely understands that before I can decide on the next chapter of my career, I have to figure some shit out.
My energy does want to turn towards comfort and community, towards people and things that inspire and nourish me. Is that really so terrible?
(No, no, it is not, and don’t let your capitalist overlords persuade you otherwise.)
Where does your energy want to go? What happens if you allow it to flow in that direction?
Sleep, always sleep.
I’m sure Copernicus inspired and nurtured you. 🌈🐈🐾❤️🩹
