Hello Reader,

What the Cliffs Know That Your Calendar Doesn't

There is a particular kind of exhaustion that doesn't show up on a blood panel. It lives in the space between what you're doing and why you're doing it. You keep moving, keep producing, keep showing up—and somewhere underneath all of that competence, something has gone quiet.

Most of us don't stop until we have to.

What if stopping were the strategy rather than the concession?

Today's Threshold Question

What is the conversation you have with yourself about intentionally practicing stillness?

Maybe you believe you're too busy? Or perhaps, it feels like you're wasting your time? Reflect on your inner dialogue about stillness, the assumptions and beliefs you hold, and how your environment and life might be more creative and easeful incorporating stillness in your day.

If you'd like some practical strategies, be sure to read Everyday Epiphanies: Uncovering Wisdom in Ordinary Moments or Manage Your Life Before Life Manages You.

Your fellow explorer,

P.S. I was profoundly affected by this quote from Annie Dillard and because of that awakening, I changed my approach to life and work. “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing."
