A note from Donna
Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, I thought I had written, saved, and scheduled my newsletter for today long ago. Sadly I was completely and utterly mistaken! So this is being hastily written on a Sunday evening while watching Stephen Fry drive a black cab around the USA… So I’ll keep it short and sweet this week!
Getting Away From It All
When was the last time you had a day away? Just a day away from everything? No work, no hassle, no noise and bustle? I often speak to new clients who say ‘I have no idea what I want to do with my life’ – and when I ask how long they’ve spent thinking about it (away from everything else, in peaceful pondering, not frantic monkey mind), it is no surprise they’ve no idea, because there is no time to consider it.
Think about it for a second – how would you love to plan your life? In a frantic moment between work and chores, or in a quiet, meditative, peaceful moment? I would guess that you would love to plan your life in a peaceful moment…but how many of them do you have?! Our bodies, our minds, our hearts and our souls need rest time, need to have space and quiet to restore ourselves to our natural state of good health.
Do you get much of that??? If you do, you’re a rare bird! Most of us feel lucky just to get a few week’s holiday in a year and the odd peaceful moment here and there. But to really plan your one and only life, you need to set aside specific time to tune into the voice of your soul, and figure out where you really want to go. You have within you every answer you could possibly need…give your inner self a chance to be heard, and get away from it all. Your life is worth it.
Something to play with
Take out your diary right now and plan a day, or an afternoon, or a couple of hours where you can just go somewhere quiet and ponder, ruminate, deliberate, contemplate, muse and reflect about your life. Share your thoughts on this post – leave me a comment below.
