One Apple A Day #693 - Rhythm
Three weeks ago, my partner moved abroad for a project. She's going to be away for a while, so we're both dealing with the challenges that this experience brought in our lives.
Obviously, the biggest one is the distance, but there's another one I wasn't expecting; the loss of rhythm.
We've been apart before, but it was always for shorter periods. This time we're talking months. And something happened in my head since the very first week. My flow and productivity got disrupted like never before. Since day one, I've been struggling to keep my routines and habits. It took me a while to realize what was happening.
I've lost my rhythm.
Over the years, we built our own unique rhythm. A rhythm on which I can improvise, create and follow the flow without getting lost. A rhythm that keeps me grounded.
I feel like I'm without my metronome.
And it is clearly affecting my energy and my flow. Everyone is unique, but I've learned how important it is for me to have a basic rhythm in my life, on top of which I can improvise and move freely.
So, now my new challenge is to find a new way to keep the beat until she's back. Any suggestions?
