We have to be able to change gears, change orientation, be flexible and resilient. And when it's difficult, as it has been for me this past week, we have to respect that and find our way to the directional change we need. There's a lot in my book about strengthening our ability to do just that. Here's a hint. Pick one or two ordinary tasks you do every day or often every day. Switch hands and do them with your nondominant hand. A good one is to brush your teeth with your other hand. This kind of tasks breaks up rigidity and wakes up brain cells. It's not about food or relationships, but it's definitely about recovery. :)
