Turns out, this was to be last week’s post, but I ran into some computer difficulties and was unable to post. However, I was able to maintain the benefits of my renewal time of the week before and not get too worked up about the problem; I had the clarity to look for a resource who could resolve my problem.
This/last week started off very relaxed. I was away with my husband for several days and made it a priority to be present with him and where we were in the Hudson Valley. The area along the Hudson and in the Catskills remains inspiring, the sounds of the water, leaves rustling, the sounds of the late summer insects, watching the clouds roll in and past, the leaves beginning to turn to red and yellow, and the broader view of the mountains and trees with occasional farmland in patches all drew me. I also enjoyed learning about the Hudson River School of painting and was able to share this knowledge.
I mention the above not just to tell you about me, but also as a way to think about how I used my time to renew. So here are some elements which may be particular to me and others which may work for you and others you know.
- Being present – taking in the experience of where I was
- Being with Nature
- Being with someone I love
- Learning about the art which came out of this area and sharing what I learned
- Listening to the sounds around me
- Looking at where I was in a way that was not just passing through
As I looked over the list I noticed that at least half of these were about being, and very little was about doing. What a pleasure to be a Human Being and not just a human doing. This several day break provided an opportunity for me to replenish my spirit. Now, is the time again for doing; I’ll have to remember to bring balance to this time.
I wanted to let you know about a couple of upcoming programs, an Introductory coaching package Renew Your Life. This includes 4 sessions on the phone, of one on one coaching to revitalize your life. We’ll focus on what restores you both in the short term and in the long term. And an interview with me on Thursday, Sept. 13 at 7pm on “What’s Weighing You Down?”. I’ll be interviewed by Dr. Marilyn Gansel on www.FTNS.co.
Please join me for coaching and listen on Th. Sept. 13 at 7pm to www.FTNS.co. For information and to begin coaching, contact me.
