| 1. FEATURE: Finding Balance | |
Balance is a concept that we all strive towards: "I need to find balance between my work and personal life". Yet the concept of balance and the continual telling ourselves we need to have more of it in our life, can often lead to the stress we feel in managing our time. Dr Linda Friedland is well known for achieving a lot work wise, while juggling her life as a wife and mother of 5 children. |
|
| One of her most useful concepts is challenging the traditional view of 'balance'. We've been conditioned to believe that balance is the ultimate, and that it involves having equal amounts of time and energy to focus on each compartment of our life at the same time. We need to strive for the scale being in "balance" in that the two sides of the scale are not moving, and are still. Yet she points out how insubstantial this is, as life is just not like that- even the human body is never in total stillness or balance. Every cell is constantly in a state of flux and motion as your heart and lungs continuously contract and relax, for example. | |
| She purports to rather strive fore a state of peace. |
|
| Instead of searching for elusive balance that does not exist, we can look for moments of peace and calm, in between the moments of being fired up and taking action. For healthy functioning, we need both ... CLICK HERE FOR FULL ARTICLE |

| 2. GUEST VIDEO CLIP: Dr John Demartini on Values | |
| "Any time you separate space and time you create a mental void. Whatever you perceive as most separated, voided or missing becomes most important to you. You are therefore driven to fulfill these voids. The hierarchy of your values (what is most important to you) determines your destiny; so your destiny is based upon the hierarchy of your voids (the things you perceive most missing)."- Dr John Demartini |
|
| In the first video, Dr Demartini explains more on our hierarchy of values, and uses relationship as an example of how this works. In the second video, Dr Demartini talks about how your financial destiny is related to the hierarchy of your values. Using money as an example, Demartini explains how we spend out time and energy in life according to our values. So when we talk about work-life- balance, we are actually talking about our value system. And if we feel our work-life balance is 'out', as in we don't have balance, it is likely that our we are not living congruently with our values. Every time we try to do something that doesn't match our values, we feel an incongruence and experience feeling out of balance. When our values and our actions are congruent, we experience fulfilment and that can leave us feeling like our life is in balance. Enjoy the videos by CLICKING HERE |

The Personal Expression |
|
| I had the most amazing yatch trip where I communed with fish, sharks and whales, and was welcomed back to the Vilanculous harbour by dolphins. I am most grateful for the brief sabbatical I had (that turned out to be a few weeks quiet time at home too) and most importantly for such great friends to travel with. (you can see some photos here) During the last few weeks I've been on a vision quest of note, and am amazed that whenever I look more into what my life is all about, I come up with the same answers, just with more clarity and detail. I've also had a very exciting patch with my onematchstick trading, in that I entered the Netweb Headstart competition and won a prize of a video from Missing Link, which I'm going to use to make the movie of onematchstick. And I have also made my next trade- I traded the ‘party with DJ Al’ for 375 Springleap.com T-shirts from Eran and Eric. So now we’re setting up a T-shirt design competition to find the onematchstick T-shirt, and I got sponsors for prizes worth R4500, including an awesome voucher for bidorbuy.co.za. And I’m aiming to trade the 375 Springleap.com T-shirts with 375 people- so if you want to trade with me, check out this page. lots of Smiles, |
