"It’s not about having strength. It’s about finding it within yourself every day.

Switching modes

Why is it so hard to come back? Why is the body already here – but the mind refuses? Why do I know what I have to do, and yet I don’t do it? After all, everything is ready. The plan. The calendar. Even the coffee no longer tastes like vacation, but like regular morning work coffee. And still – something is not working. It’s not clicking. It didn’t switch. The mode that just a week ago felt natural to me, obvious, inscribed into everyday life – now feels foreign. Is that normal? Does it mean something is wrong with me? Am I weaker than I was? No. I’m not. The engine was simply turned off. And now it won’t turn itself back on. And that is exactly the moment no one talks about. No one writes about. The hardest one. Not the moment of action. But the moment of switching from rest to action. From looseness to rhythm. From “I am” mode to “I act” mode. It’s a moment of inner decision. Quiet. Without witnesses. Without likes.

The engine must be started

Why is it so difficult? Because it’s not just a matter of doing. It’s a matter of state. A way of thinking. A way of looking at the day. Because GMF – health, motivation, fundamentals – doesn’t work when everything is easy. It works precisely when things are hard. When you don’t feel like doing anything. When the rhythm has collapsed. When you’re outside the system. And then... it needs to be rebuilt. Again. From the beginning. From the first thing. From the first task. From one decision: today I return. Today I do my thing again. Even if silently. Even if slowly. Even without conviction. But I do it. Because if not now, then when? And if not me, then who?

The kitchen example

This morning, in the kitchen, I felt it exactly. An unsure hand. The knife somehow too light or too heavy. Everything familiar, yet foreign. As if someone had placed me into my own job, but half a centimeter off. And that moment, when you look down. At the cutting board. At the carrot. At yourself. And you say: okay, this won’t come back on its own. You need to get into gear. You need to step in. You need to move. With one cut. One movement. One small but conscious step. And then – slowly – something starts to tremble. Maybe tomorrow it will flow more smoothly. Maybe the day after tomorrow the rhythm will return. It’s coming back...

Everyday life is not seasonal

Vacation happened. It’s over. I’m glad it happened. But does it mean that work starts from zero? I don’t want that. I no longer want that feeling in life of returning from scratch. No. I want constancy. I want a system. I want GMF to be alive every day. Regardless of the calendar. Regardless of the weather. Regardless of my mood. Is that possible? Can you stay in the game every day, without burnout? I don’t know. But I want to find out. Because I know one thing – if I do nothing, I will slip into mediocrity. Into suspension. And I don’t want that. I want to be present. I want to be in motion. In steady forward motion. I think that’s a good idea. I’m certain.

Today is the beginning

I don’t yet know how. I don’t know if it will succeed. But I know that I’m coming back. Slowly. Without fanfare. Or no – with fanfare, but internal. Ready. Focused. I make the decision. I return. For myself. For my loved ones. So I don’t lose what I’ve already built. So I don’t have to start from zero. So I can be. Simply be.

Motto:
The mode does not come back on its own. The mode must be found. Consciously. In silence.
