Balancing Life

Yes, I’m back.  I’ve been out of balance with extreme focus on my dissertation.  I had my defense, passed, but with required revisions.  My first instinct was to remain out of balance and get it done.  I reflected; my extreme focus only benefits one part of my life.  I want to remain active and keep healthy all parts of my life. 

While out of balance, I was researching the behavior aspects of my work.  I don’t know how, but I found this tree along my path.  I read it, reflected, and have read it a few more times.  Each time I visit a branch, I’m enlightened (words from a conversion with a friend today) by another aspect.  So my step today towards enlightenment is along the “creation process practices”, specifically the “journaling” leaf.  So my blog (journal) is back on track and I will keep this branch active.

Please visit the source (http://www.contemplativemind.org/practices/tree.html).  They also have a blank tree that you can fill out (I will be).

Thank You for listening.  Brian.
