The 365 Commitment

Resurgence

I was looking for a word today that described exactly how I felt. Well, I found it. The word is resurgence. It is a noun and it means: an increase or revival after a period of little activity, popularity, or occurrence.

So I have not necessarily had a period of “little activity” but I have been very sick and had to gut through my commitments with all manner of loathing. I am definitely no where near where I was at 1 year ago today. A year ago today, I was probably at the peak of my performance improvement as a person. I was running, doing body weight exercises, memorizing things for fun, tracking my nutritional consumption and doing several other very healthy things. I had not been sick for almost 2 years and now wammo, I have been really sick for several days AND I am showing some dings in my non so shiny armor.

So I need a resurgence. I need an INCREASE after a period of inactivity. I need to not only return to the level that I was at, but I need to exceed that level and get to the next plane. I know that it is entirely possible, I can see glimmers of hope here and there. So now in the midst of the Covid-19 outbreak and as the common cold and flu ravage me, I will rise up and hit the day with even more vigor then I have ever before.

Not because I have to, or want to, but because I CAN and I WILL. Here comes the resurgence!

Day 336 – Your Presenteeism is Not Useful

This article challenges the common belief that simply being present at work, even when performing suboptimally, is beneficial. It argues that ‘presenteeism’ can lead to decreased output, increased mistakes, and prolonged recovery, ultimately creating a ‘recovery debt.’ The piece advocates for deliberate rest as an investment in future productivity, emphasizing that true recovery involves activities like sleep, proper nutrition, and disconnecting from work, rather than passive leisure.
