I'm trying to stay positive, and a lot of really great things are happening in my life, but I just feel... off. A friend commented yesterday that the past two years have changed his brain, that he's feeling in a weird way, downsizing, and planning to get away and hopefully come back with a concept of what to do with his life. I can relate. I used to have boundless amounts of energy and enthusiasm, but lately I can feel my tank emptying, and when that happens I crave solitude. I've never considered myself introverted, but these past few years have really driven me more inward. I feel like I need solitude in order to refill the tank, and I don't recall feeling that way pre-COVID. Anyway, meditating is helping with this because I feel much more ready for the day if I meditate in the morning. I am hopeful things will get better, but right now I'm feeling down. 3 Quote Who am I? -- My NF Character Current Challenge: WolfDreamer Wakes the White Wolf Past Challenges: Spoiler Winter is Coming, Wolfen Strengthens His Heart, Body, Mind, and Spirit, Wolfen Becomes One of the People, Wolfen Strengthens His Chakras, Wolfen Welcomes Summer and Gets Primal, Soulcon and Spartan, Wolfen Develops Mental Toughness, Wolfen Joins the Wander Society, Soulcon, Spartan, School, and Stranger Things, Wolfen Becomes a Warrior Elite, Wolfen Goes Here and There and Back Again, Wolfen Becomes a Soulcon Warrior Elite, Wolfen Returns to His Roots, Wolfen Wanders in Soul, Spirit, and Body, Wolfen Owns the Day, Wolfen Searches for His Wild Heart, Wolfen Runs for His Life, Wolfen Hits the Trails, Wolfen Becomes an Explorer and Joins the Resistance, Wolfen Goes Back to the Source, Wolfen Begins the Hero's Journey, WolfDreamer Returns to the People, WolfDreamer Pushes Back, WolfDreamer Prioritizes, Burpees, Books, and Brainwork, Burpees, Books, Brainwork, and Bodywork, WolfDreamer Masters the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Continues to Master the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Returns to Sparta, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Continues His Middle Earth Adventure, WolfDreamer and the Fall, WolfDreamer Forges His Own Path, WolfDreamer Has Hope, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Reads Harder, Breathes Harder, and Journals More, WolfDreamer Embraces His Wild Poet, The Mad Poet Becomes Supernatural, WolfDreamer, The Mad Poet, Becomes Superhuman, WolfDreamer Elevates, WolfDreamer Becomes IronBorn “I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.” -- Jack London “I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence.

So it's definitely a thing that after you complete a goal, you have a bit of a downward swing. Here is a link to an article that does a better job explaining the whole thing. It's one of those things that many times I hear about (and have personally experienced) in conjunction with physical goals, but it's just as relevant to mental / educational / etc... goals. I'm not saying that the past two years aren't contributing to it. I'm just saying that after finishing your Master's, it makes sense. How is the transition to having small ones in the house again going? I'm super impressed with your ability to keep moving forward with your goals even with the change to your family make-up. 1 Quote Sylvaa's BattleLog Sylvaa's Tracking Spreadsheet Link to comment

I've read about that before, and it definitely makes sense. It is likely that, compacted with the collective struggles of the past few years. Thank you for sharing that link. 1 hour ago, Sylvaa said: How is the transition to having small ones in the house again going? It is going pretty well. They will definitely be with us long term as the social workers are not optimistic they will be returning home anytime soon (if at all). We are having some behavior issues with the 9 year old girl, but most of that is because she misses her parents and was (at first) optimistic that she would be going back home soon. I may have mentioned this, but we opened up to foster another boy, as well. We are just waiting for the call. Yes, I know, it is a lot, but as I told someone recently, my life is very full, but it is filled with things that really matter, things that bless me and help me grow as a person (i.e. things that elevate me). I appreciate the compliment. I won't say it's easy because parenting is never easy, but I will say it is blessed, and I learn from it and grow because of it every day. 3 Quote Who am I? -- My NF Character Current Challenge: WolfDreamer Wakes the White Wolf Past Challenges: Spoiler Winter is Coming, Wolfen Strengthens His Heart, Body, Mind, and Spirit, Wolfen Becomes One of the People, Wolfen Strengthens His Chakras, Wolfen Welcomes Summer and Gets Primal, Soulcon and Spartan, Wolfen Develops Mental Toughness, Wolfen Joins the Wander Society, Soulcon, Spartan, School, and Stranger Things, Wolfen Becomes a Warrior Elite, Wolfen Goes Here and There and Back Again, Wolfen Becomes a Soulcon Warrior Elite, Wolfen Returns to His Roots, Wolfen Wanders in Soul, Spirit, and Body, Wolfen Owns the Day, Wolfen Searches for His Wild Heart, Wolfen Runs for His Life, Wolfen Hits the Trails, Wolfen Becomes an Explorer and Joins the Resistance, Wolfen Goes Back to the Source, Wolfen Begins the Hero's Journey, WolfDreamer Returns to the People, WolfDreamer Pushes Back, WolfDreamer Prioritizes, Burpees, Books, and Brainwork, Burpees, Books, Brainwork, and Bodywork, WolfDreamer Masters the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Continues to Master the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Returns to Sparta, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Continues His Middle Earth Adventure, WolfDreamer and the Fall, WolfDreamer Forges His Own Path, WolfDreamer Has Hope, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Reads Harder, Breathes Harder, and Journals More, WolfDreamer Embraces His Wild Poet, The Mad Poet Becomes Supernatural, WolfDreamer, The Mad Poet, Becomes Superhuman, WolfDreamer Elevates, WolfDreamer Becomes IronBorn “I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.” -- Jack London “I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence.

WolfDreamer Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 Fuck this virus, and fuck the people who keep spreading it. I'm so fucking over this shit. I'm sorry to be so harsh, but let me explain. My wife tested positive. Like me, she works in the school system, and parents enter the building all the time unmasked (and likely also unvaccinated) because mask mandates aren't being enforced here. She also has a few coworkers who are unvaccinated and spend a lot of time unmasked or half-masked (hanging under their nose or hanging off of one ear). I'm not saying she got it from any of them or even from her school because, like many other states, we are fully open here, and masks are optional in most public establishments. So now, all of my kids and I have to stay home, as well, because we've been exposed. And odds are high that one of us will get it, as well, which means more time at home (and an exceeding amount of time if the virus makes it full rounds through our entire household). As of right now, her symptoms are mild, but she's worried because she has asthma and is susceptible to respiratory illnesses like bronchitis and pneumonia. I'll keep you updated, but I'm not letting this derail my keystone goal of meditation. I'm convinced that meditation is a necessary tool for dealing with this. Thanks for letting me vent. 6 Quote Who am I? -- My NF Character Current Challenge: WolfDreamer Wakes the White Wolf Past Challenges: Spoiler Winter is Coming, Wolfen Strengthens His Heart, Body, Mind, and Spirit, Wolfen Becomes One of the People, Wolfen Strengthens His Chakras, Wolfen Welcomes Summer and Gets Primal, Soulcon and Spartan, Wolfen Develops Mental Toughness, Wolfen Joins the Wander Society, Soulcon, Spartan, School, and Stranger Things, Wolfen Becomes a Warrior Elite, Wolfen Goes Here and There and Back Again, Wolfen Becomes a Soulcon Warrior Elite, Wolfen Returns to His Roots, Wolfen Wanders in Soul, Spirit, and Body, Wolfen Owns the Day, Wolfen Searches for His Wild Heart, Wolfen Runs for His Life, Wolfen Hits the Trails, Wolfen Becomes an Explorer and Joins the Resistance, Wolfen Goes Back to the Source, Wolfen Begins the Hero's Journey, WolfDreamer Returns to the People, WolfDreamer Pushes Back, WolfDreamer Prioritizes, Burpees, Books, and Brainwork, Burpees, Books, Brainwork, and Bodywork, WolfDreamer Masters the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Continues to Master the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Returns to Sparta, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Continues His Middle Earth Adventure, WolfDreamer and the Fall, WolfDreamer Forges His Own Path, WolfDreamer Has Hope, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Reads Harder, Breathes Harder, and Journals More, WolfDreamer Embraces His Wild Poet, The Mad Poet Becomes Supernatural, WolfDreamer, The Mad Poet, Becomes Superhuman, WolfDreamer Elevates, WolfDreamer Becomes IronBorn “I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.” -- Jack London “I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence.

WolfDreamer Posted January 18 Author Report Share Posted January 18 So... I also tested positive, as did one of my 9 year olds and the baby. Our symptoms have been mostly mild, but I have felt weak and have had some body aches. My wife had one rough day where her asthma flared up, so her doctor called in a steroid prescription for her. I haven't worked out or done much of anything physical the past few days. I have meditated (sort of) in brief moments where I close my eyes and take some deep breaths. But I am definitely feeling out of sorts and am looking forward to getting back to feeling more like myself again. We had a snowstorm that started last night, and I tried to go outside and enjoy it, but my energy level dropped quickly. I've been mostly laying around because when I do too much I really feel it. Anyway, I feel blessed that it isn't worse for us. I know that hasn't been the case for everyone. A friend from high school caught it in November and passed away last month. 3 3 Quote Who am I? -- My NF Character Current Challenge: WolfDreamer Wakes the White Wolf Past Challenges: Spoiler Winter is Coming, Wolfen Strengthens His Heart, Body, Mind, and Spirit, Wolfen Becomes One of the People, Wolfen Strengthens His Chakras, Wolfen Welcomes Summer and Gets Primal, Soulcon and Spartan, Wolfen Develops Mental Toughness, Wolfen Joins the Wander Society, Soulcon, Spartan, School, and Stranger Things, Wolfen Becomes a Warrior Elite, Wolfen Goes Here and There and Back Again, Wolfen Becomes a Soulcon Warrior Elite, Wolfen Returns to His Roots, Wolfen Wanders in Soul, Spirit, and Body, Wolfen Owns the Day, Wolfen Searches for His Wild Heart, Wolfen Runs for His Life, Wolfen Hits the Trails, Wolfen Becomes an Explorer and Joins the Resistance, Wolfen Goes Back to the Source, Wolfen Begins the Hero's Journey, WolfDreamer Returns to the People, WolfDreamer Pushes Back, WolfDreamer Prioritizes, Burpees, Books, and Brainwork, Burpees, Books, Brainwork, and Bodywork, WolfDreamer Masters the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Continues to Master the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Returns to Sparta, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Continues His Middle Earth Adventure, WolfDreamer and the Fall, WolfDreamer Forges His Own Path, WolfDreamer Has Hope, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Reads Harder, Breathes Harder, and Journals More, WolfDreamer Embraces His Wild Poet, The Mad Poet Becomes Supernatural, WolfDreamer, The Mad Poet, Becomes Superhuman, WolfDreamer Elevates, WolfDreamer Becomes IronBorn “I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.” -- Jack London “I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence.

Fortunately, our symptoms were mild with a few rough days of headaches and congestion. My wife's asthma was a bit exacerbated, and she had to be prescribed steroids, but still no need for hospitalization. Everyone in the house got it, so the biggest hassle has been finding childcare for the kids while my wife and I go back to work. My 18 year old daughter is able to watch them half a day, and my wife and I are alternating days we leave work early. I have had some really good days since feeling better. Early wakeup with some time alone meditating, both listening to the Pray As You Go daily contemplative prayer and doing some breathwork. I also got back to working out last week: visited the gym Friday for an intense upper body workout with some dumbbells. I relaxed over the weekend but got back at it yesterday (Monday) with a 15 minute kettlebell HIIT workout, followed by a 15 minute restorative yoga session. Today I did a Darebee workout called Epic Chest. So, for the most part I am doing much better. Still feeling cautious and a little pessimistic about the continued spread of COVID. @Sciread77 has graciously listened to me vent about how my region is strongly anti-mask and anti-vax (even though our governor is pro-vax and believes that masks work). It was also one of the first places to open everything back up and lift mask mandates (or, rather, make masks optional in most public spaces). Basically, West Virginia wants so badly to be Little Texas. Anyway, I should stop before I get on a tangent. I appreciate everyone following along this far. I am eager to get back at it. 3 Quote Who am I? -- My NF Character Current Challenge: WolfDreamer Wakes the White Wolf Past Challenges: Spoiler Winter is Coming, Wolfen Strengthens His Heart, Body, Mind, and Spirit, Wolfen Becomes One of the People, Wolfen Strengthens His Chakras, Wolfen Welcomes Summer and Gets Primal, Soulcon and Spartan, Wolfen Develops Mental Toughness, Wolfen Joins the Wander Society, Soulcon, Spartan, School, and Stranger Things, Wolfen Becomes a Warrior Elite, Wolfen Goes Here and There and Back Again, Wolfen Becomes a Soulcon Warrior Elite, Wolfen Returns to His Roots, Wolfen Wanders in Soul, Spirit, and Body, Wolfen Owns the Day, Wolfen Searches for His Wild Heart, Wolfen Runs for His Life, Wolfen Hits the Trails, Wolfen Becomes an Explorer and Joins the Resistance, Wolfen Goes Back to the Source, Wolfen Begins the Hero's Journey, WolfDreamer Returns to the People, WolfDreamer Pushes Back, WolfDreamer Prioritizes, Burpees, Books, and Brainwork, Burpees, Books, Brainwork, and Bodywork, WolfDreamer Masters the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Continues to Master the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Returns to Sparta, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Continues His Middle Earth Adventure, WolfDreamer and the Fall, WolfDreamer Forges His Own Path, WolfDreamer Has Hope, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Reads Harder, Breathes Harder, and Journals More, WolfDreamer Embraces His Wild Poet, The Mad Poet Becomes Supernatural, WolfDreamer, The Mad Poet, Becomes Superhuman, WolfDreamer Elevates, WolfDreamer Becomes IronBorn “I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.” -- Jack London “I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence.

WolfDreamer Posted January 25 Author Report Share Posted January 25 Here are some poems for you: Bellrope by Robert Morgan The line through the hold in the dank vestibule ceiling ended in a powerful knot worn slick, swinging in the breeze from those passing. Half an hour before service Uncle Allen pulled the call to worship, hauling down the rope like the starting cord of a motor, and the tower answered and answered, fading as the clapper lolled aside. I watched him before Sunday school heave on the line as on a wellrope. And the wheel creaked up there as heavy buckets emptied out their startle and spread a cold splash to farthest coves and hollows, then sucked the rope back into the loft, leaving just the knot within reach, trembling with its high connections. And one of mine: THE CARRIAGE TRAIL One's soul cannot lie on the carriage trail Too many ancestral voices crying out for truth Secrets held by branches of pale desperation Reaching through the fog from deeply held roots The faultless forest floor welcomes a quick glance But to stare too long risks unearthing old spirits Oak cathedral stands above ivy bowed in prayer One's soul cannot hide on the carriage trail 1 Quote Who am I? -- My NF Character Current Challenge: WolfDreamer Wakes the White Wolf Past Challenges: Spoiler Winter is Coming, Wolfen Strengthens His Heart, Body, Mind, and Spirit, Wolfen Becomes One of the People, Wolfen Strengthens His Chakras, Wolfen Welcomes Summer and Gets Primal, Soulcon and Spartan, Wolfen Develops Mental Toughness, Wolfen Joins the Wander Society, Soulcon, Spartan, School, and Stranger Things, Wolfen Becomes a Warrior Elite, Wolfen Goes Here and There and Back Again, Wolfen Becomes a Soulcon Warrior Elite, Wolfen Returns to His Roots, Wolfen Wanders in Soul, Spirit, and Body, Wolfen Owns the Day, Wolfen Searches for His Wild Heart, Wolfen Runs for His Life, Wolfen Hits the Trails, Wolfen Becomes an Explorer and Joins the Resistance, Wolfen Goes Back to the Source, Wolfen Begins the Hero's Journey, WolfDreamer Returns to the People, WolfDreamer Pushes Back, WolfDreamer Prioritizes, Burpees, Books, and Brainwork, Burpees, Books, Brainwork, and Bodywork, WolfDreamer Masters the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Continues to Master the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Returns to Sparta, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Continues His Middle Earth Adventure, WolfDreamer and the Fall, WolfDreamer Forges His Own Path, WolfDreamer Has Hope, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Reads Harder, Breathes Harder, and Journals More, WolfDreamer Embraces His Wild Poet, The Mad Poet Becomes Supernatural, WolfDreamer, The Mad Poet, Becomes Superhuman, WolfDreamer Elevates, WolfDreamer Becomes IronBorn “I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.” -- Jack London “I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence.
