I wish my dad still ran his HVAC company and that I could go there one more time to see him in the back of the shop working on HVAC equipment while he listened to his relaxing music
I used to push myself too much when I was younger and never listened to my HVAC tech dad’s advice telling me you gotta learn to relax. I always felt this incessant voice telling me to keep going and it wasn’t until dad was gone that I realized he was right and that I do gotta learn to relax. I ran his HVAC company at a relaxed pace and still was able to make a lot of money and be successful with it. I never learned how to relax until I recently started meditation practice and now I realize that relaxing is something we need to learn. I was performing 13 shows a month for 10 years with comedy until I realized how frantic I was. My dad was a local contractor and was way more successful with it than I was with my comedy because he went at a more relaxed pace. I guess I still have a lot to learn and hopefully I have the time left to do so. I now spend my days relaxing more and have since quit the comedy pursuit and now pursue music, at a relaxed pace of course. I wish my dad still ran his HVAC company and that I could go there one more time to see him in the back of the shop working on HVAC equipment while he listened to his relaxing music. I don’t know why I have such a frantic energy inside of me but hopefully meditation and daily yoga will help quell it a bit. I guess I’m finally learning the art of relaxation.
