Recharge

Having not traveled for the better part of a month, and not having had to find $1k (yet) as self-induced punishment for air travel, it is amazing what staying in one place and nesting can do for recharging the creative batteries.

I believe there is a clear correlation to catching up on to-do items, back emails, sleep, the ever-growing to-be-read stack of books, exercise, meditation, good diet, time with the family (not in that order) and overall balance. Balance for me breeds inner peace and clarity of thought, which in turn helps be separate the immediate un-important tasks from the important non-urgent tasks. Many who read this blog may have been recently surprised by a proactive call or email from me, as I stop and pull back and realize how much important activity was put on hold while I was busy frantically running from trip to trip.

Like enlightenment, balance is a journey and not a destination. Please do me a favor and whack me upside the head if you see me getting out of balance.

I try but sometimes it comes across as "bashing the celeb". Maybe I should try being more direct, eh?
Good to see the balance coming back, man!

Nicely put. A lesson to your readers as well as positive step for you. Now, a more detailed lesson on meditation please? A lost art you taught me years ago, sadly forgotten.
Oops, I tipped over. Yes, balance is tricky.
