Re-connect with the Earth and enhance your well being
Posted By admin on August 22, 2009
Nature in it's perfect state
Summer has a carefree feel to it. The days are longer, the weather is more pleasant unless you live in Southern California where it is pretty good every day, sorry Cleveland. The kids are out of school and the rushed schedule of alarm clocks and homework are put on the back burner for the moment. A welcome reprieve.
One of my business associates popped off an email to me about a month ago and said he wouldn’t be available too much for the rest of the summer because he would be out in nature, hiking, camping and having a great time with his wife and kids. It made me step back and think “What will the rest of my summer be like?” Will I still be tied to my laptop putting in long hours and missing out on golden opportunities to spend some quality time with my family? I opted for the latter. Realizing that not everything can come to a screeching halt, it really is fine to just step back and seize the stolen moments to sit and play cards with your little boy or girl or take a nature walk or spend a day at the beach, go see an art exhibit or listen to music in the park. When we are connected to the things of this earth, and I don’t mean all of the things we have accumulated in this life but the closer we get to the ground, the dirt, the origin of where it all began, the more we enhance our well being. There isn’t a worthy person in your world that doesn’t stand to benefit from you reconnecting with the earth including you!
As groovy as the Metro scene is (I’m a huge fan of NYC, London & Paris) but there is nothing quite like getting outside of the buzz of the city to see stars so thick in the summer sky that you can cut it with a knife. Enjoy the peace of the early light of day as the birds welcome you. As the morning glories blossom with a gift to the eyes as if they are there only for you, take a breath. Be thankful for these gifts that surround us every day but the noise of the world seems to crowd out.
Meditate. Be thankful. As summer comes to a close, we encourage you to take some time to restore your life force with something creative, natural and real. Connect with friends you haven’t seen in a while. Break bread with your treasured people. Do something out of the ordinary with your family. Taking time to reconnect with the things you love most will amazingly restore your creativity and energy.
September comes soon enough as the school buses are revving up their engines, kids are getting ready to click back into their routines. 2009 is more than half over but as we reach forward in achieving some of the business goals and projections, you will have moments of sunshine to reflect on during those hectic workdays…..IF…..(my grandmother used to say IF is a very big word)……IF you re-connect with the earth and restore your well being.
Live well.
