I aim is to have my work life and personal life be in harmony with each other. It seems that I only notice when that harmony is not there. By my assessment when a project or my life is moving along and meeting its' milestones, keeping within scope, it is being successful. I have noticed that it is during these times of relative harmony that it is easy to become distracted or "take my foot off the gas".
When a correction is needed I am all over it coming in like a hero to save the day. I have been exploring this tendency, and am pretty sure that it is a common default. What would it be like to study, work or play fully all the time instead of waiting for the proverbial "break"?
So I have been playing full out, studying, working and what has been missing is play. Funny, my play has become my work, and so it does not feel like play any more. As my interests become a part of my routine they no longer have what I consider the essentials of play. So I guess I stopped playing.
What would life be like of you could bring play into ever aspect? Would this bring harmony into focus for you? I'm not speaking about stirring things up or creating a "fun" disturbance; I'm talking about bringing joy, spontaneity and a sense of adventure to the details, the minutiae of life. So I'm going to take a bubble bath, find something fun to put into it, and enjoy myself. How are you going to bring fun back to your life?
