If there is a bit of pressure in the play, more pressure can be absorbed at work without it affecting as much. I find that too often, we end up polarised, working very hard, playing by doing nothing. I think this leaves us in some kind of bi-polar swing that is hard to sustain without stress. For me, pulling work and play closer together means life is far more balanced.
The pandemic is going to affect us all for many years to come. Much of the negative will be self-inflicted through habits.
I am getting there :)
Yes, that tension balance makes sense to me. Glad you're getting there.
