\"\"<\/a>With the pace of life outside our front doors moving as fast as it does, it seems that people today are living their daily lives as if they are on\u00a0 the treadmill. “I can’t catch up”, “It’s not possible”, “I don’t know how I am going to balance it all.”<\/p>\n

These are common phrases that I have heard repeated by individuals in different circumstances this past week.\u00a0 Each was referring to how challenged they have been feeling to meet obligations in their life.\u00a0 \u00a0The rhythm of their lives and that of their inner world\u00a0are not in sync.<\/p>\n

We each have\u00a0a natural rhythm by which we function.\u00a0 Its the pace by which we can say at the end of the day, “this was such a nice day, I really enjoyed this.”\u00a0 We are able to experience such gratification when we are participating in our life in a way that allows us to stop and\u00a0be aware of ourselves.<\/p>\n

We may be working, taking care of our families, attending to business matters or any number of “doings” that are required of us; but in this process we see that we are meeting these commitments at the same time that we have satisfied our daily barometer for self-fulfillment.<\/p>\n

Self-fulfillment is that which allows us to feel in touch with who we are.\u00a0 It is that part of being alive that allows us to find pleasure in discovering and learning more about ourselves while we engage in life as a process.\u00a0 It is the part of our intuitive self that must be met in order for us to feel happy.<\/p>\n

Living daily aware of what in our day can add up to meeting our\u00a0“self-fulfillment”quota\u00a0naturally encourages us to stay in rhythm\u00a0with ourselves and feel\u00a0balanced.<\/p>\n

When one is unwell, it is this “rhythm” to our life that we miss so much as we feel out of sync as our lives are put on hold.\u00a0 As we make our way through the healing process and\u00a0transform our challenges into\u00a0a journey\u00a0to deepen our understanding of ourselves, what we are actualizing in this process is a reunion\u00a0with this “rhythm.”\u00a0\u00a0We know intuitively that this will lead us\u00a0to being able to engage\u00a0in a life with purpose.<\/p>\n

We honor ourselves when we tune into our own “rhythm” and prioritize\u00a0it\u00a0as we do all other obligations in our life.\u00a0\u00a0We know that our health and happiness depend on it and will deepen from us having done so.<\/p>\n
