Re-equilibrate - evolved living

YOUR WORK has taken over your life, you are suffering from stress and sick of running to stay in the same place. Solution? Exchange cash for qualitative time. If you feel bored, frustrated and trapped in your job, you are a likely candidate for not just a job change but a 'downshift'. This trend started from the US, where it is practised by ten per cent of the working population, is arriving in other countries . A better word for downshifting would be reequilibrating, suggests Judy Jones, co-author of Getting A Life.



To have a  Happier, Simpler Living, leading to a simpler life - 

Trade  part of your income for more time is about redefining yourself and your idea of success. 

But how do you achieve one aspect of the downshift's dream - financial independence? First, try living on less money.

Do keep some  money to keep the footmill turning. All your have to be paid bills for example .

Make a third of your income to be spent on work-related activities like eating fast foods, taking holidays to get away from it all and having massages to relieve stress. 

Downshifting doesn't necessarily mean changing your job, but taking steps to stop your work taking over your life. 

It can involve flexible working, job sharing, school term-time working, or cutting down to fewer days at work. 

All of these things can lead to a better quantity of live or what you call re- equilibrate .

A ball of confusion

                                                                                               Earth from the view point of a Martian ( if he exists) If we isolate ourselves from Earth , getting away some distance from our world ,it would help us focus our attention on what it is otherwise too obvious to notice while we stay on it . To see what we may be really like it will help if  we  put ourselves into the  shoes of a "Martian," if he happens to wear such an invention of the earth in the first place  .  So what do Martians see of Planet Earth ? What they see today is a population of over six billion people crawling out from every nook and corner like caterpillars . Now ,almost all of  this six billion devote a signific...

Matters of the heart

Human nature is such that it can either catapult you to ecstasy or throw you down with a thud ! The thud hurts and we wonder if we can walk again . Yes you can . Just believe in yourself and you will .                                                                                         We often confuse what we are feeling with who we really are.  We begin to build this persona that we are not good enough, and because we feel bad then we think we are bad.  We hold onto a false identity because it sits so deep within us that we begin to think and see it as our truth.  If we keep our mind and heart disconnected we end up becoming dysfunctional, inattentive, distracted, and remote.  This causes harm to us and our relationships.   W...
