I don't know how to approach this, so this might be a longish explanation.
In October, 2004, five friends and I went on a vacation in Arkansas. We rented a house boat for 4 days. Without fail, every day, I was the last person to go to bed and the first person to wake up. I would go to sleep at 1, 2, 3 or 4 AM, and wake up between 6 and 7 AM. I would get up feeling refreshed and ready.
Some friends woke up two or three hours after I did. Others slept until noon or later. I could understand there perspective. Work was very stressful for one friend in particular, so she was de-stressing and sleeping until noon.
My perspective, though, was "how can they waste this day?" After being up for half an hour and finally realizing that I would be alone for the next two hours, I would go swimming or climbing or skip some rocks on the lake. I was excited to be there and could go a whole day on 4 or 5 hours of sleep without taking any naps later in the day. I didn't take a nap until before I drove home.
So here is my question:
How can I translate this energy and enthusiasm to my daily life and to my work?
It's weird to know that this level of energy exists within me, yet I see little sign of it when I am home or working.
My main guess is the kinesthetic quality of the vacation is what motivated me, while my work consists of sitting at a desk and computer for 8 or more hours each day.
Any and all feedback is appreciated. I'm wondering if there is a Paraliminal CD that can be used to answer my question above.
Many thanks!
