I try to stay connected and available to the many facets of my life that interact with other people. I try to read and respond to emails in a timely way. I try to respond to phone messages in a timely way. I try to be available to work on South Plains Branch NASW projects as needed. I try to be available as a board member of Catholic Charities, Diocese of Lubbock.
But sometimes, I am not interested in being interactive: I just want to shut off the world, and not have to be responsive or responsible: I want to read, listen to music, watch a DVD, blog, journal, or just "veg out." Exercising at Covenant Hospital Lifestyle Center http://www.covenanthealth.org/Our-Services/LifeStyle-Centre.aspx helps.
Sometimes, shutting off the world is very important to me. It is restorative. It is relaxing. It just helps me to get in touch with me and helps me to get back in balance. So, if I "drop out" that may be what is happening.
