Open Your Life to New Adventures — Let Your Mind Wander
“We often hear of people breaking down from overwork, but in nine out of ten they are really suffering from worry or anxiety.” — John Lubbock
A dialogue between the active parts of you, and the dormant parts of you, become alive as you participate in new experiences. Aside from the difficult process of first identifying, then confronting, burnout, while staying fully emerged in a professional career, opening your life up to new adventures has TWO positive outcomes:
1) New perspective, by default, interrogates rout patterns that can veil burnout.
2) A deeper understanding of the world around you spills over into professional and personal problem-solving and idea generation.
It’s not about flying halfway around the world and climbing Mt. Fuji (although, this is recommended), start by walking around the block or jumping on a city bike. Let the mind wander where it wants. Observe it without judgment and bring yourself, softly, back into the moment, into your magnificent, physical body again.
Keep an open mind. Allow new adventures to unveil themselves to you.
