What
we do with our time seems to be an ongoing topic of interest for many.
Popular belief says we need to balance time for 'work' and 'life'.
Innumerable authors and experts have invented tools and techniques for
us to 'manage' our time. Common sense says that procrastination occurs
when we 'waste' time doing nothing or doing things other than what we
say we're going to do. More experts have written about how we can get
motivated, stop procrastinating and get down to business. Then why is
it that many still struggle with trying to stay focused on what they
really want to do? [ Read More]

Despite
my intentions to stay focused on launching new materials into the
world, the last couple of weeks have seen a flurry of activity around
forming partnerships. When I look at the very real challenges we are
facing today and the urgency with which they need to be addressed,
establishing relationships might seem like the last thing we should
spend time doing. However, I’m reminded of something Jim Selman often
says: “Relationships are the foundation of success.” [ Read More]

Every day this
past week, I’ve been exploring the question of “What can I do?” It’s
been an interesting inquiry, with the answers varying each day,
sometimes each hour, based on the state of my physical body. I’ve
found myself experiencing embarrassment at having to ask for car
service at the grocery store, frustration at not being able to
multi-task my way through my ‘usual’ amount of work, and vulnerability
at having trouble carrying a 10-pound bag from my car to the house. But
I’ve also experienced joy at regaining some flexibility, having
pain-free moments and walking in silent contemplation around my
neighborhood. Best of all, I’m learning other ways of relating to
myself, my circumstances and time.[ Read More]

By Shae Hadden | Bio I'm intrigued by the popularity of online life expectancy
calculators. Like reading tea leaves, tarot cards or astrological
charts, many people seem to be fascinated with the idea of predicting
their future. This compulsion to 'know how much time we have' is
closely tied with a desire to re-engineer our lives to reduce or
eliminate aging altogether. As if each of us has an expiry date that we
can scan so we can know when we'll be used up! The concept of
'life expectancy' is based on statistical projections, which are based
on past history. When you think about it, the whole idea is based on
the premise that the past is an accurate predictor of the future. [ Read More]

As the evenings get cooler and days shorter here, summer holidays wind
down. Everyone seems to be preparing for the start of September, and
looking forward to the last real weekend before things start up again.
Most everyone I talk with has enjoyed some of the summer outside with
family and friends, and I find myself experiencing a twinge of regret.
For me, the last few months have been a blur of work indoors in front
of the computer, interspersed with a few brief moments of relaxation.
This afternoon, I am acknowledging that I have ‘missed’ this summer
altogether in my efforts to fulfill as many of my commitments as
possible.[ Read More]

I find myself in a strange space today. My husband and I filed divorce
papers jointly yesterday, and this morning I awoke to what seemed like
a different world. My regular yoga routine was awash in tears, and my
conversations likewise. I know that people get divorced all the time,
just as people die all the time. These two facts are different, but for
me today they seem very close to the same experience—loss. While
we have been living separately for over a year now, and I have been at
peace with how our relationship was evolving, today was special. Today
for the first time, I felt like I was truly ‘on my own’, without a
partner, without connection to another human being. I am adrift with my
thoughts and feelings and free (perhaps even forced) to look newly at
my world, other people and what I am doing with my life. ‘Present’
today in a new way, in this moment and aware of the thoughts and
beliefs that have brought me to this place and time.[ Read More]
