Whether engaged in exercising, commuting, or some element of the daily routine, there are those solitary moments spent running through the information coming at us. What do you do with them, those mental laps? How do we bring it all together, taking the details and putting together the mosaic. This is where I share some thought leadership.
Why is it called Mental Laps? The pun notwithstanding, it seemed an appropriate fit to describe the state of contemplating all things while engaged in repetition. As this blog started coming together, it was a pleasant surprise to find an article reposted under the same title, which touched on the effort to battle the monotony that occurs in the long college swimming season. As a former swimmer, or swammer as has become a term, the monotony of staring at the black line for hours on end is the act of mental laps every day. It was easy to drift off and thinking about the to-do list, burn some calories mulling over conflict, and occasionally contemplate beyond the day-to-day. It was the latter that encouraged the creation of this blog.
