Can’t help you anymore
February 2, 2010 – 8:11 pmIn my day job, I often have to do the number trickery that’s officially called “resource reallocation.” Wouldn’t it be nice if I could do that with my life?
For instance, it would be great to picture my life as a pie chart within an Excel spreadsheet where I’m able to adjust a few percentages and voilà a better life balance has been achieved.
And then I woke up from that boring dream. Instead, I opted to take a couple of days off from my normal routine and take stock of my life. It ranged from the mundane/routine such as finishing my taxes and cleaning to willingly getting out of bed at 6:30 AM to walk down to the neighborhood yoga studio for a session of shadow yoga.
It was there that the pilot light reignited. For the first time in a while, I was actually practicing “be here now,” and not just paying homage to it. The yoga class was great, not just physically, but because it made me relax. That short amount of time allowed my brain to actually turn down the volume from 11 to 2. As my body performed the asanas, my brain said, “Ok, here are the keys, you drive, but only for a little bit, OK?”
Now, I just need to figure out a way to get another set of keys made…
