Have you seen my mojo?

I think my mojo is currently in the Caribbean, soaking up some sun - while I am where it is unseasonably cold (though no where near as bad as it could be). Maybe yours is with it?

I second what others have said - take the pressure of yourself. See if you can find something fun. Maybe try hiking or swimming, as other suggested? Seriously, though - be kind to yourself. Grad school isn't without stress - take care of yourself, including your injuries!

It's hard not feel guilty about not riding, but I'm doing other things. My MO is to get almost good at "thing", then quit and learn "new thing" to the point of almost good. I can only imagine the new things in my future I shall be mediocre at.

I'm a big dabbler too. Honestly, I really enjoy the dabble life.

I do too. I like learning new things. And I always surprise myself with the things I get into. If you told me 2 years ago I'd be able to play the guitar I wouldn't believe it. It's cool to know that some weird thing is going to be my next passion, and I have no idea what it will be. Maybe I'll be a tight rope walker. I'd better be better than mediocre at that!

Actually, it's when I get past being mediocre that the thing loses its appeal. Maybe my real passion is for learning. Or I like a challenge.

I also love learning new things, and both of you make a point. When I start getting good at something my interest usually starts waning and I start looking around for other things to do. That doesn't seem to be happening with my kettlebell lifting - BUT I've a shoulder issue that guarantees that it will always be a challenge which is why I love it. hmmmm...good food for thought!

I see Formula One racing in your future.

Story of my life :-D Good side is - if/when I get injured again, I have other "things" to do while I heal, I no longer have to rant and rave that I can't do thing no.1. I need to work on "things" that don't involve physical exertion, though. Chess? Guitar?
