Hi Kimberlee,
Fall:
my favorite time of year. Earlier this month I had the good fortune to visit my
hometown in Upstate New York. What a treat – seeing the brilliant colors,
smelling pine trees, hearing the wind, feeling the crisp air on my skin ...
Fall's a special time of year. A time when nature releases the old and hibernation
begins. It’s a natural time to go inward and incubate seeds of renewal. What
will you let go of this year? What seeds will you incubate for next year?
We are approaching a traditionally stressful time of the year, often filled with
obligation and overwhelm. This month’s feature article offers a new perspective
on time and includes the “Top 8 Strategies for Reducing Stress & Overwhelm.”
My hope is that this article will inspire you to slow down and create more time
to enjoy your life, your self and the holidays. Start practicing now, before things
escalate, and maybe you’ll have a different experience this year ... or at least
something interesting to incubate during the winter. Here’s to slowing down!
Kimberlee P.S. Look for the next issue in early December.

Article
by Kimberlee
Foster, CPCC The other day, in a tone wrought with frustration, my
brother Brian blurted: “I just wanna get away from everything and go into the
wilderness!” What!? (I thought) YOU TOO? I’ve been feeling like running
away from life for a while now! So I got curious about what’s going on;
why more and more of us are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted - spent! Scheduling
“face-time” with colleagues and friends takes hours of back and forth emails (or
phone-tag), and weeks or months go by before we actually meet. More and more clients
come to me wanting “more time for [themselves],” “more time to exercise,” “more
fun,” “more balance.” Then I got a clue - in the book Timeshifting
by Stephan Rechtschaffen (recommended in
September’s ezine).
Rechtschaffen presents a brand new perspective about time. New to me anyway. His
theory opened my eyes to what’s going on – and more importantly, to how I’ve become
a part of it. “It” is how we have become “entrained”* to the outrageously out-of-control,
frantic pace of modern society.
