Learning How to Balance Our Energy Houses – The “Being” House

In my last entry I talked about the energy houses. Today I want to focus on the “Being” House. Anyone who wants to deepen their learning about “Being” read Eckhart Tolle’s book The Power of Now” and The New Earth…Tolle masters being present. You can find them on my book suggestion list on my website. (link to your site)

“Being” is our heart space. It is all about relationship, connection, and being engaged…with ourselves and with others. “Being” teaches you to engage from the heart and leaning into whatever you are doing. For example, when you come home after working all day you have a choice about what to do. You can go into the “doing” house and clean out a closet. You can work on a hobby or do a chore...or you can engage in conversation with your spouse, play and connect with your kids, take some quiet time and read a book or take a bubble bath. If you choose to do an activity, make it a holistic experience…enjoy and be present...experience the being.

What’s important is to balance your energy houses…don’t hang out in one place too long…shift from one energy house to another and experience the calming feeling of balance.

Balancing work and play!

It's hard to believe summer is almost over. I don't even feel like it started! I've been hearing that from so many people. This was going to be the summer to catch up on things, begin new things, and plan for the fall and winter.

Well, some of those things were accomplished. It seemed the summer was a lot busier than anyone expected. Alot of that had to do with the spring and the economic conditions around us...the expectations were that things would be quiet and slow.
Here's the good news...You're not behind. It is never to late to set some goals.

Most of us will soon be entering the fourth quarter of the year. I am continuing the set up goals and plans for business and socially. We all have such busy lives that you really want to pick and choose where you'll spend your time.

One thing I did this summer was to start playing golf. For me, it balances out the work/life balance. And I've got to tell you, I'm hooked! It has been wonderful for me to know that on Thursday I'm going to take another lesson and then play nine holes. This is one way that I "walk my talk". I can't work with clients and talk about how to balance their lives if I'm not doing that myself. Although I feel very blessed that my work is my passion and life purpose, balancing it with 'play and fun' is just perfect for me.

So when you're setting your goals, mix work with pleasure. Most people forget to schedule 'fun'. You'll have more energy, feel better, and get more satisfaction from everything you do!

Positively Your, Susan
