She’s a professional woman, knows her stuff, has a high-up position in our industry, and she’s absolutely great at what she does. But I’m afraid that somewhere along the road, she lost a part of who she really is.
Have you ever felt this way… just suddenly, totally fried? I know T*** has enormous talents in other areas, and she doesn’t have to ditch her job and become a bohemian artist, but unless we keep stirring our creativity, and keep alive a well balanced life, we’ll wake up one day and discover that somewhere along the way, we died to the life we were meant to live.
That’s why I take 9 + camping trips a year. They’re just 42 hours each, but each hour is a slice of heaven, and refuels me for the work ahead. In fact, I’m writing this in Pacific Beach, on the beach at Campland by the Bay. I love to write so this is pure joy for me.
What are you doing to clear your head and re-energize your soul?
Here’s a call to action---Act now—before it’s too late! Start planning for 2010 by writing in your vacations and holidays FIRST on your master calendar. Then commit to NOT working on those days. Then keep your promise to yourself.
