We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation. There is so much to learn and
It was a curious day from the very start. Instead of waking up lookingforward to the day, I woke up feeling anxious about it. Not long ago Idecided that it was high time to roll up my sleeves and really focus oncreating the life I want. In order to achieve that goal I committed towriting at least two articles a day. This morning as I staggered out ofbed all I could think about was, "Where on earth am I going to get thematerial for two interesting articles?" The question so frustrated me Idecided to return to my warm bed, pull up the duvet, and meditate.Thirty minutes after I began, my head was literally filled withmaterial. "Plus" I thought to myself "I'm going out and I can gleanmore from whatever experience I have."In a much better frame of mind I got up for the second time and raceddownstairs so I could get started. At first the kitchen was quiet andmy fingers flew across the keyboard never missing a beat, but a fewmoments later the piercing screams of my youngest tore through thekitchen. And as those screams rose in pitch my beautiful flow began tostagnate. This is not an uncommon scenario since my daughter has begunto teethe. I was prepared to take it in stride. I started the coffeeand promised myself that I would do my ritual to call my Muse shortlyafter breakfast.Breakfast came and went in a blur, as it tends to do in a busy family,and I found myself rushing around to complete the house straighteningbefore my wife and I went out. Things were moving so fast that I forgotto pack a map or a GPS. Because the day was getting on and I wasanxious to have some sort of adventure I refused my wife's kind offerto return to the house to retrieve them. Though this choice definitelysaved time it also pretty much condemned us to going somewhere we werefamiliar with. My wife and I tend to end up in places that we neverintended to be when we don't have a failsafe. There was even one timethat we actually managed to miss Stonehenge!My wife decided a trip into Portchester and a walk along the beach nearthe castle would be the best solution to the situation. I grudginglyagreed because quite honestly I didn't have any better ideas at themoment. The sea was beautiful as always, but nothing exciting caught myeye. Even the people and animals seemed to be drab and lifeless. Iwalked beside my wife attempting to be light hearted because I didn'twish to ruin our time out together for her, but my heart was beginningto feel heavy and downcast.I carried on in this state for most of the walk, wondering why I feltthis way. This sullen self that I was dealing with was nothing like mynormal self. Finally, just prior to reaching the car it dawned on me. Ihadn't performed my Muse ritual before leaving.My Muse ritual is currently nothing more than a rhyming chant I createdto ask the Universe for assistance in seeing the magick in everythingso I can share it with others. I found by making this request eachmorning I become more sensitive to what's around me and better atexpressing it in writing. I believe this is simply because the Universewaits quietly to intervene until it's asked. My dull mood was a productof getting caught up in events and forgetting to connect with theUniverse. The lesson was clear and simple, "If you forget your magickyou lose your muse."
