Relax, Take it Easy

I feel like the past couple of days have really flown by. Days that were only supposed to be three hours or less have actually been no less than eight hours. Today two other interns and I were coaching an arena football leaguer player, a BU hockey recruit, and two of the best high school football players in Massachusetts, with only the coach watching over us. It’s been a complete ball, and I’ve been doing what I want to do but tiring nonetheless. That’s why, as I’m typing this, I’m having a beer, eating some pizza, and finishing up a hilarious Canadian mockumentary called “FUBAR.” It’s been a complete guys night in, and it’s exactly what I need to help me recharge after a ridiculously busy week. I think it’s great  be mindful and follow your passions, but it’s easy to forget that it’s very draining on both your physical and mental faculties doing the things you love. It’s not exactly the worst problem to have, but all that work can catch up with you if you don’t do anything to alleviate it.

While I think suggesting ways to unwind would be a bit presumptuous of me, I think a general format should revolve around good food and good people. I know that after tonight and a lounge about day tomorrow, I will be able to kill it tomorrow when the gym turns into what ahs been unanimously described as a “shit show.” I feel like we are always told to go go go and that taking time off isn’t supposed to be productive. However, I think that to be productive in the long-term and keep the fire burning for your passions, you should relax and just watch the world go by every once in a while.
