So, it's June 11 and I finished the first draft of "the" book this weekend! "Soul Health: Aligning with Spirit for Radiant Living" is in its final stages... and should be released sometime this fall (2012!). What seemed like both a long and short process-- long because I was so excited about getting this done, and short because I somehow wrote the entire book since January--- is wrapping up. Hard to believe. But long awaited.
The Soul Health Model is my baby. I'm very proud of it and use it daily with clients. The model describes the importance and process of creating the ultimate life balance so that your soul has the best platform to evolve. Long story short-- we must balance the 10 key aspects of our 'human condition'-- our everyday challenges-- with our spirit condition-- in order to thrive in this world. Ironically... the last branch added was "Recreation" or the Fun/Leisure component of our human lives-- which is far under-rated as far as I'm concerned. In fact, it was the hardest chapter for me to write-- both because it is the one which is most overlooked or pushed to the side in our experience in the human condition-- but also because at the point in which I was writing the chapter, I wasn't exactly having fun in my own life. I had been working long hours, writing during what was left, and getting out far too little! It's hard to write about fun and leisure when you're not having any of it yourself!!!
I do try to practice what I preach. But I'm also an agent of change. I love the work I do-- sometimes too much. And in my own consciousness, I can become unconscious! I can get caught up in the 'busy-ness' just like anyone else. I'm much better than I used to be, but I, like many, have to intentionally schedule fun.
Are you having enough fun in your life? Do you laugh enough??? Probably not. But onward and upward... I vow to have more fun today... how about you???
