{"quotes":[{"text":"Reconciling is about cleaning out your psychic closet. Do you have unresolved issues which are draining your reserves, causing hurt feelings, filling you with regret, or taxing your tenacity? Reconciling can allow you to move forward with acceptance and surrender, rather than berating yourself for what cannot be changed. Are you ready to enjoy peace?","author":"Susan C.

It can be due to boredom, disinterest, rejection, apathy, overwhelm, or exhaustion. Once a person begins to disengage, the tendency can bleed over into other areas of their life and disconnect them from what would actually bring them joy.","author":"Susan C.

If there are areas in your life which must change to help you create better results, a redesign may be in order. Consider going back to the ‘drawing board’ to deconstruct what isn’t working and start anew.","author":"Susan C.

You have the leading role and get to determine how you interact with your supporting cast and other characters.

The typical relentless worker is just as lazy as the typical indulgent idler; they’re both just going through the habitual motions. To break the repetitive pattern, and discover more energy and effectiveness, one simply must stretch out in all directions, rotating focus and application of the qualities that make up one’s natural versatility.","author":"Darrell Calkins","tags":["asian-philosophy","buddhism","cobalt-saffron-retreat","cobaltsaffron","cobaltsaffron-retreat","comparative-religion","compassion","conscience","creativity","curiosity","darrell-calkins","darrell-calkins-cobalt-saffron","darrell-calkins-cobaltsaffron","darrell-calkins-retreat","darrell-calkins-seminar","emotional-health","evolution","happiness","humor","inspiration","intuition","martial-arts","metaphysics","mysticism","paradigm","physical-health","purpose","quantum-physics","stress-management","taoism","truth","versatility","well-being","zen"],"id":19637,"author_id":"Darrell+Calkins"},{"text":"Recovery through sleep isn’t going to happen if the majority of the components of your being aren’t getting enough stimulation or resistance to work against.
