Hello again folks, it's been a while. This is another one of those "writing so I can hear it" posts. And hopefully some of you can gain from it as well.
I got so busy doing work over the last 2-3 months, that while I did hit a monthly revenue milestone that I was aiming for (and would never have considered 2 years ago), I found myself unhappy. I was burnt out, a bit out of balance, tired and crabby.
Guess what I'd done? In my eagerness to say "Yes" to more and more Abundance, I'd started letting some things slide. Some relaxing here, some sangha there, some of my own meditation and prayer and spiritual study over there. And while the business still came in, Your Grateful Guy wasn't feeling all that grateful.
I know the famous phrase "Before enlightment: chop wood and carry water. After englightenment: chop wood and carry water." I've also heard my spiritual teacher Kathianne Lewis mention that people will often pray and pray and pray when things aren't going well, then when they finally get better they'll figure "hey, I don't need to do that anymore." WRONG! And I am guilty as charged,
So it's been a week or two since I really re-committed to re-balance, self-care, re-integrating spiritual practice into the mix. I already feel better - and of course my phone has started ringing again with new therapy clients. It's just like that.
OK, instead of writing anymore I am going to go hug my wife :-)
Namaste, Your Grateful Guy
PS - be careful what you wish for. You might get it!
