Life balance vs out of whack

This is a time frame within which I am examining, yet again, my life and balance and work and value. This is good healthy exercise but that doesn’t mean its fun or particularly easy. It is however, full of rewards. As I look at my own life, I find many reasons to be critical. When

When pain strikes

This week is the theme of life balance. Oh man, I am right in the middle of it — a little bent in the direction of out of whack on work and not quite genteel enough with my own self in my personal world. I need to take care  — the message has been delivered

Building your inner strength

Each and every day we are presented with challenges. The quality of our life is not contingent upon what comes to us but it is based upon how we handle what we are dealt to deal with. Stop and think about what you have the ability to do — you have a strong mind, you

When you have people whose brain power is awesome…

Sometimes you wonder who is reading what it is that you write. Make a mistake and you are certain to find out. I wrote on Wednesday about relaxing the brain, I guess I got an early start. I didn’t realize I had talked about relaxation by mediating instead of writing meditating. Today is Friday and

Think nothing?

Can you take time off from your brain being in high gear and allow it time to relax a bit or do you need to be running and engaged at every moment? There is a risk in believing that you need to maintain a high gear consistently — exhaustion. Our brain is just like every
