A New Way of Being
By Simon Mundie
A New Way of Being is about banishing burnout and finding flow.
The way most of us live is focused on 'arriving' at some point in the future, when everything will finally fall into place. But this is a trap. When we treat this moment as a stepping stone to a seemingly more important future moment, we risk never truly living.
This constant seeking leads to burnout, and a nagging sense of lack - as if something is always missing. It keeps us from experiencing the flow, awe, and peace that naturally arise when we embrace THIS moment, however it happens to show up.
