Spinning September

The past month left me constantly spinning around. Not only did I move out of my student apartment, where I had been living for 3 years, but I also had a symphony orchestral project and a flute ensemble concert at the same time. Not to mention the sickness with a few days of fewer and coughing until today. Sometimes I have a feeling that life is like a game. They put only as many encounters around you as you can handle, even if you don’t see how you can handle them all at once. 9 months into the Year of Health, I shall say that I am not doing well with this. Every year in January (or actually already before in December), I decide on a word that will be decisive for the next year. An area needing improvement. This year, it is Health. Ironically, the only thing I am getting better at is listening to the messages from my body. I don’t answer them yet, but now I at least hear if there are problems. It has made my life both happier and harder. Every time my body needs something and I listen to its call, I have to stop everything else and take action only in this field. Most of the time I feel that incredibly hard. I feel that if I am stopping, I am getting behind. I am getting behind even if I don’t stop. I cannot afford to stop sometimes. Only to write this blog post. It feels really nice. With writing and music, the time stops. I have no idea if it had been 2 mins or 2 hours. And these moments are the best. With the words of UnJaded Jade: This is Casual Magic.
