A young woman with long, dark hair is depicted performing a graceful, high-kick yoga pose in a minimalist setting with a white wall behind her. She is wearing a form-fitting, black outfit and is barefoot. The woman's body is arched back, with one leg extended straight up towards the ceiling and her arms stretched overhead. Her expression is one of focus and concentration. The text 'ENJOY THE EMPTY,' is displayed in bold letters at the bottom of the image, seemingly encouraging the viewer to embrace moments of stillness and simplicity.

Embracing Stillness: Finding Balance

I was reminded of this when I was telling my office manager Jaye about a fun new project I’m working on and she threw the book I had recently loaned to her about life management and saying no (“Essentialism”) on my desk. Whoops. I guess I need a reminder! Check out my stories for the book! ・・・ I teach a lot about workflow and work-life balance... but sometimes, like tonight, I do stay up past midnight to get a lot of work done. My biggest problem is that once I've become efficient in one area of my life and freed up my time there, I tend to refill it too quickly with something else - good things mostly for work and life - but because of that I don't take the moment to enjoy the emptiness of free time. Does anyone do this successfully? Learned how to enjoy empty, quiet space? Photo by @MosheZusman
