oscillate

You know those people who always seem to be going away for a long weekend or having a mini-break or taking a holiday somewhere lovely. [Geniuses I call them]. They are masters of the Art of Oscillation, of balancing energy expenditure with energy renewal.

As a coach, you might think I would be great at it myself. And you know, in my head I am. And to tell the truth, I am actually really quite good at the energy expenditure part. But when it comes to the renewal aspect, I sometimes forget.

It happened last week. I was going and going and going, all Energiser-Bunny-esque but then suddenly realised that I was feeling a little Not That Great.

So, my friends, I took a breath. I had a massage [lordy!so good], I went swimming and I started planning a quick trip to a sort.of.far.away.place to visit one of my most favourite people.

Genius did you say? [I agree.]
