Did you hear the thud ?
I strayed a bit from my usual 'holiday formula' at the end of last year, swapping my normally compulsive drive to 'always do something' and make the most of every last scrap of free time I have, to simply vegging out.
In fact, I couch potatoed my entire holiday away, and I can safely say it was a great decision.
I slept in, I mooched around. I watched glorious episodes of innocuous daytime TV and wore my socks twice in a row. In fact I did whatever the hell I pleased within the boundaries of the law and physics. Mostly I simply succumbed to the pull of gravity.
And the result? I'm feeling really refreshed! A little lacking when it comes to swapping holiday adventure stories around the old water cooler may be, but a whole lot more bright eyed and bushy tailed than the rest of my colleagues. So there really is something to be said about chilling out - completely.
I see now the lure of those white beaches and miles of blue ocean somewhere in the pacific where you have little else to do but work on your tan and consider your navel. I think I'll look into that.
What did you get up to. Did you go on a wild adventure? Or did you, like me, assume the couch potato position too ?
