THE MEANINGFUL
There are a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a few things that that that I I find interesting about my rehab period Yes it was interest- ing but when people say: ”I am convinced that that you you you in in in retrospect appreciate your re- hab time that that it gave you you you you you new perspectives and made you you you value what you you you do even more ” then I I I almost explode I I I didn’t have to to get injured to to realise how much I I I I love running and skiing!
Well the interesting thing that that I I I did real- ise during this time is is is that that even though I I I love what I I I do do it’s important to to have have other things in in in in life Other interests It doesn’t have have to to be some- thing that that takes a a a a a a a a lot of time or or that that I I do do very actively it it it could just exist waiting for the the day when I I have more time to develop it it it it Just the the the thought of it it now and then is enough I I I even created my own Instagram account Moon Valley Small Farming where I I I could express my dream to to live live fully self-sufficient There I I also followed others who lived or wanted to to live live in in in in a a a a a a a a a a sustainable way in in in in harmony with na- ture It gave me me me me some meaning when I I I I could not run and and became one leg that I I I I knew I I I I could stand steadily on on on anytime in the future To me me me it was important to concretise what could make my everyday life more meaning-
ful I wanted to to take the the opportunity to to learn more more about about farming and some more more about about the the the human body the the anatomy I I basically made up up a a a a a a a a a a a plan for for how much time I I I would engage in in self-studies I I I even set up up up goals for for what I I I I wanted to to learn in in in a a a a a a couple of weeks And when I I I I fell down into the the boredom because I I I I could not run then I I I at at least had something to fall back on Something within reach just at at at the edge of that dark hole What helped me to to get up from that that muddy black hole can be be compared to to a a a a a a a a long horribly hard uphill climb I had done it before fought myself over the the edge Put a a a a lot lot of hours into it it it got the the legs to to to work on on pure autopilot shut down despite being aware just done it it it Once back back up you you you can breathe again and enjoy the the the work you you you you have done Pat yourself on on on the the the the back back Even if you you you you you only stay up there for a a a a a a a a a a short time and fall down again then you you you you you know that that you you you you you have have been up there there that that you you you you you have have worked your your way there there by your your own means You can do it again It might might be be harder if the the climb is longer But it it might might also be be easier And it it could flat- ten out so so you can suddenly take longer steps And leave the black hole behind
