Did you enjoy your holiday weekend (if you’re in the US)?

Mondays don’t mean the same thing to me as they do to most people. I love what I do, I tend to work on the weekends, and my life feels about the same no matter what day of the week it is. Mind you, I have a pain disorder, so the “I don’ wannas” can hit me at any time, but I like to think I have a medical excuse for it.

Even with a pain disorder, I seem to get an amazing amount of work done. I read blogs and articles on time management, but I’m not sure that’s it. I think I finally figured it out.

Before I get into that, though, let me give you some perspective. Last Thursday was a catch up day for me; I had set it aside in order to catch up on all the things that had fallen by the wayside while I’ve been dealing with a flare up of pain symptoms. Sadly, I didn’t manage to get out of the bedroom before noon, because the flare up was, apparently, not over. Even so, I watered the front and back yards (and trussed up the citrus trees, which needed doing), deposited some checks, saw an emergency client, made some marketing graphics and redesigned a logo, drove up to the next valley to pick up some money (in holiday traffic, which might have been a poor choice), started working on a new panel for October, ordered replacement glasses, ordered vitamins, updated the CMC calendar, finished writing 4 classes and their supplemental materials, sent handouts out for Sunday’s class, scheduled 2 video recordings, started working on Pantheacon submission ideas, edited and posted 2 videos, printed my weekly astrology reports, ran some laundry, worked on a website, washed my hair, ate three meals, and fed our 4 cats and a dog.

I know from experience how people react when I tell them everything I get done. Which is why I started wondering why it was that I was this productive, when I was fighting what feels like an uphill battle against pain and exhaustion.

Kabbalah.

Kabbalah gives me a way to order my mind and my life so that I am more efficient. And it’s completely unconscious. If I didn’t document the things I get done, I would feel like I hadn’t done anything. I still mess around on the internet, I still watch TV, I still soak in the hot tub, I still visit with friends; I run three groups a week at a rehab; and I attend 3 self-help groups a week for my own recovery. But the work just happens. The only thing I can credit is the work I’ve done in Kabbalah.

My students notice changes in their ability to handle things, in their ability to manifest what they want in their lives, in moving through challenges more effectively. I have never had anyone tell me that Kabbalah has made them more effective, but I bet, if they thought about it, it has.

If you’re interested in exploring what changes Kabbalah can bring to your life, and you’re in the LA area, I have a year-long course beginning on July 17th. We meet once a month for a few hours, and it’s a very experiential class.
