The Introvert’s Cure
What a great party - now for my escape.
My Myers Briggs profile shows me to be equally an introvert and an extrovert. I get energy from being with people but I need my own space too. This has been challenging to live with since most of my career has involved heavy people contact.
This week I had lots of contact in business, we threw a small party for musicians and we had some construction going on in the house. My space was invaded by a constant stream of contractors and the sound of power tools. Fortunately I had a cure - escape to our mountain valley hideaway.
As Eddie, my constant canine companion and I hiked in the silence, punctuated only by the cry of birds and the occasional bee buzz. I could feel my muscles relaxing and peace come over me. No barking dogs, no roar of summer motorcycles, just nature, the silence and peace - the cure. After a recharge I will perform tomorrow at the Salida Steam Plant. Get ready to engage extrovert and get ready to flex extrovert.
