The Third Way — WHOOPS!
Sorry–this post was accidentally published and it was a total draft. Too busy thinking about the new baby, I guess!
I’ll keep working on it, but if you saw the original accidental post in your feed reader, you’ve got a taste of where I’m going with it.
Every time someone mentions contemplating his navel, I am drawn to reading the post or article. Mindfulness is a key tenet in most forms of meditation. I have found that after a morning meditation I am able to be more mindful and focus on the task at hand. The focus it allows makes work go faster and leaves me more mentally clear when I leave. A clear mindset makes me better able to pursue the things I enjoy with an unburdened mind.
Brendon: First of all, congratulations to you and your Slacker Spouse on your new addition! I hope that the rest of the adoption process goes as smoothly for you as possible.
As for the post at hand, I was very interested in the concept, probably because I find myself in somewhat similar straits. Your last two paragraphs look like you lost some of your thoughts in translation (or cutting and pasting ;-)), somewhere. I’m hoping you’ll complete those passages.
