Love these reflections! I often wonder - what if we did our best and most important work in the spaces between the work, the rest, regeneration, reconnection? What if the game we are playing is not meant to be 'won', just experienced and savoured?
Great insight - and a challenge for us to take away at the same time - " how to do for the love of doing, but without the need for completion / recognition / a new me at the end of it"... Thanks for sharing !
Oh Alicia, this could have written by me as I can so relate. I recently stepped away from full time senior executive to part time non executive director and spent the first month bemoaning how lazy I was. I had started to fear the ‘sloth monster of massive proportions’ instead of recognising how fatigued I was. Now that my mind and body is rested I am starting to figure out what I like, love and loathe and balance my life.

Oh I’m SO glad you get the space and rest to work that out!
