How does one mark a return to something that is good and life giving but extremely difficult to do? It seems that the disciplines of life fit into two subconscious spaces for me: work and non-work. The discipline of work seems to happen without much thought, choice or even motivation. The disciplines of non-work take more determination and more intentionality. My wife would say it is because I have such a tough time resting and stopping while at work. My 10 hour day is truly a 10 hour work day. Being disciplined to exercise, eat well, rest, play, or complete simple house projects takes a monumental effort. Today, I am just wondering how my non-work time would look different if I could stop while at work. . .
