Learning to Be, Not Just Do
|
It's been a strange few days.
Technically, I am on my one-week summer break, and yet I haven't been able to really step away and melt into the holiday feeling.
The fact that I am writing this newsletter and didn't think it through to make an alternative plan or hand it off to someone else tells me something about what I have let become "normal".
In the middle of a hike or interacting with my visiting family, I find my mind drifting off to all the things that will be waiting for me once I get back to work. If you are an entrepreneur (or have one in your close circle!), you may be able to relate: where work, life, and family are not seperate spheres, but blended together.
And even if you work for someone else, that feeling of things piling up while we're off galavanting can sometimes choke all the fun out of the vacation time.
I have been so busy DOING for most of my life, that when it comes time to BEING, I stumble a bit.
I can see a benefit in the deep intertwining of my work and the rest of my life, because my work is my calling and gives my life deep purpose.
On the other hand, I can also see how hard it is for me to simply take a break and switch gears, and the impact this has on my family, especially those folks I only get to see on special occasions like summer break.
So in the spirit of honouring holiday time, this newsletter is very short and with one message: enjoy your time off this summer (even if it's just over the weekends).
And if you want a summer read that will open up your understanding of yourself and others, buy the book! "The How" is now available on Amazon, and we would love for you to get your copy today or at least by the end of the weekend.
The first week is really critical for numbers, and you would really be helping us out if you shared the Amazon link with others in your circle to get the word out to all those who may not have heard of The Expansion Project but are very interested in the cutting edge of consciousness and are curious about how we could bring together energy and psychology in the personal growth and wellness space.
And we are SO PROUD to announce, that it is already a best-seller on Amazon in the category of Mind-Body Connection!
Talk to you soon, and enjoy JUST BEING this summer.
Yours In Enjoying the Sunshine,
Dr. Saira
