Every September brings us the Autumn (Fall) Equinox, which is one of the two days a year when day and night are of equal duration, the other being, of course, Vernal (Spring) Equinox. Each signals a shift when the balance tips, with fall bringing more dark night hours, while spring brings more daylight hours.
Symbolically, it is a great reminder for us about keeping the balance in our life. This is a great challenge for many of us. It is worth it to set aside time to engage in a hobby, go to the gym, meditate, journal, or just go out to hear some music or other entertainment.
Why is that important? I find that by setting aside some time for these things helps me be more clear and energized for doing my work.
Ask yourself if you are doing what you need to do to keep your balance. If you have a partner, do you have time to reconnect with them each day, or are you always working?
Do you find yourself saying that you would like to do some art or music or something but you never have time for that? When will it be time to make time?
In the course of a year, there are some very heavy work times when my schedule is full, and so of course there are some days when I don't have time to work out or go to a concert, like on expo weekends, but those are the exceptions, not the rule.
Where, in your life, do you need to find balance?
Finding the balance will help you soar to new heights, just like the bird in the photo above that I happened to catch while out on a walk. Being in balance helps us to see the big picture even more clearly and find even more sources of inspiration.
I always love hearing from you, so if you feel like sending me a note, calling or coming to see me, please do!
If any of you has any idea you would like me to include in my newsletters, I will consider all suggestions.
Have a wonderful day! |
