Balancing The Alone Time

Having just gone down to Jervis Bay for a New Years celebration with 20 friends, I'm beginning to realise that I draw a lot of my energy by having those good friends around me. When they are animated, I'm animated. When they're calm and settled, I'm still animated. They bring out the entertainer in me, and I laugh myself to the floor at some of their antics.

What I do miss out on is the real alone time needed for deep contemplation. The kind of alone time where I find out what I really want out of life, what motivates and drives me forward. The kind of alone time that energises me in a different way, and provides insights to the real me.

So the 30 day trial is to draw upon energies from my relationship, my friends and myself and not just my relationship and my friends. The morning walk has definitely helped. Anyone know much about that meditation stuff?

Yay for New Years and new 30 day trials!

Damn! two cheap calls already:

Travelling to new and different places.. the great energiser.

Yeah, its funny how when travelling, even when you're in a big crowd or city, you can feel alone in your thoughts and emotions. Can really help to focus and clarify things in life. And yes Bjee, also a great energiser!
