Lapho ngimenywa ukuba ngizame "ukugeza ihlathi," ngangingazi ukuthi kwakuyini. Kwezwakala kimi sengathi okuthile uShailene Woodley azokwenza ngemuva kokugcoba isitho sakhe sangasese elangeni. NgeGoogling encane, ngifunde ukuthi ukugeza amahlathi akuhlangene namanzi. Umqondo wokugeza amahlathi wavela eJapan futhi uhilela ukuhamba ngendalo ngenkathi ukhumbula, usebenzisa zonke izinzwa ezinhlanu ukuthatha konke okuzungezile. Kuzwakala kunokuthula, akunjalo?!

Ngangimagange ukuyiyeka, ngethemba ukuthi ekugcineni ngase ngiyitholile into ezongikhuthaza ukuba ngigxumele eqoqweni lokucabanga. Bengilokhu ngifuna ukuba yilowo muntu ozindla nsuku zonke futhi ophila esimweni sokuzola njalo. Kodwa noma nini lapho ngizama ukwenza ukuzindla kube umkhuba, ngiye ngahlala izinsuku ezimbalwa kakhulu.

Owangiqondisa isikhathi sami somuntu ngamunye kwakunguNina Smiley, Ph.D., umqondisi wokucabanga eMohonk Mountain House, indawo yokunethezeka ehleli kumahektare angama-40,000 ehlathi elihlanzekile, engisola ukuthi mhlawumbe likulungele kangcono ukugeza amahlathi kuneCentral Park kwase kuzokwenzeka. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ngithole ukuthi uMohonk wasungulwa ngo-1869 futhi wanikela ngemvelo ngezinsuku zayo zokuqala, kusasele isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuthi igama elithi "ukugeza amahlathi" lize laqanjwa ngawo-1980. Eminyakeni yamuva nje, ukugeza amahlathi kuye kwanda ngokuthandwa, kunezindawo eziningi zokungcebeleka ezinikezela ngomuzwa ofanayo.

USmiley waqala iseshini ngokungitshela okuncane ngezinzuzo zokugeza amahlathi. Izifundo zihlobanise lo mkhuba namazinga aphansi e-cortisol nomfutho wegazi. (Nakhu okunye ngezinzuzo zokugeza ngamahlathi.) Futhi awudingi ukuba nolwazi ukuze uzuze okuthile emvelweni: Ungathola izinzuzo zokugeza amahlathi ekuzameni kwakho kokuqala. (FYI ucwaningo olulodwa lwathola ukuthi ngisho nokubuka izithombe zemvelo kunganciphisa amazinga okucindezeleka.)

Sahamba kancane sizungeza ipaki cishe imizuzu engama-30, sima ngezikhathi ezithile ukuze singene komunye wezinzwa ezinhlanu. Sima isikhashana bese sizwa ukwakheka kweqabunga, silalele yonke imisindo esiseduze nathi, noma sibheke amaphethini wethunzi esihlahleni. USmiley wayengitshela ukuthi ngizwe ukushelela kwegatsha elincanyana noma ukugxila kwesihlahla. (Yebo, kwabonakala kungathandeki kimi futhi.)

Ingabe amavayibhu e-zen angichofoze kungazelelwe? Ngokudabukisayo, cha. Lapho ngizama ukuyidedela imicabango yami, kwavela eminye emisha, njengokungathi kushisa kwangaphandle, indlela engangibukeka ngayo kwabanye abantu lapho ngihogela amaqabunga, indlela esasihamba kancane ngayo, nawo wonke umsebenzi. Bengilinde ukuthi ngibuyele ehhovisi. Ingasaphathwa eyokuthi "ukwazisa imisindo engizungezile" kwazizwa kucishe kungenzeki njengoba izinyoni ezitshiyoza zazingafani nezimoto nezokwakha.

Kepha noma bengingakwazi ukuthulisa imicabango yami, bengizizwa ngithule kakhulu ngokuphela kwemizuzu engama-30. (Ngicabanga ukuthi imvelo iyelapha ngempela!) Kwakuwuhlobo oluphakeme lwangemva kokubhucungwa. USmiley wakubiza ngokuthi "ububanzi," futhi ngazizwa ngicindezelwe kancane. Ngemuva kwalokho, ngabuyela emsebenzini ngingenawo ama-headphone, ngifuna ukubambelela kulo muzwa isikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka. Futhi ngenkathi ingahlali unomphela, ngangisazizwa ngidumazekile lapho sengibuyele emsebenzini, okusho okuningi.

Ukugeza amahlathi akuzange kungenze ngibe ngumcabangi we-serial kimi, kepha kwangifakazela ukuthi izinto ezibuyisela esimweni semvelo zisemthethweni. Ngemuva kokuzizwa ngikhululeke kakhulu ekuhambeni eCentral Park, sengikulungele ukugeza ehlathini eligcwele.
