or else believe we can do even more because we practice self-care. Keep in mind that we can’t solve burnout with the same level of con- sciousness that created it. We have to catch ourselves in the act of overlook- ing our true needs, stop, do a self- inquiry that looks at things as they are, and pinpoint what drains our energy, as well as what brings us to life.
How did writing Fried
affect you? In order to follow my own advice, I completely changed the way I live. I realized that at age 66, I needed to pay more attention to my physical body. Physical therapy and Pilates floor exer- cises are now a priority five days a week, as well as yoga, both of which have helped to correct my hip joint problems. For aerobic exercise, I walk fast for 45 minutes at least five days a week. In inclement weather, I ride an indoor bike. Altogether, it averages out to 90 minutes of daily exercise, five days a week. My husband and I switched to a plant-based diet of organic whole foods, so we now set aside more time to plan, shop and cook. We also make more time for family and friends. We still both work, but fewer hours than before. In other words, I do what I can within a framework of love. I choose to do what is important to me—activities that give me life and energy.
What is it about living “in the
now” that feels so enlivening? When we live in our heads and intellec- tualize, we tend to spin negative thoughts that hurt our physical health and sap our energy. By actively focusing on what we are doing in the moment, we can engage our senses, more thoroughly enjoy our- selves and have an awareness of being that is not possible when we are rumi- nating over past memories or projecting ourselves into daydreams about a far-off future. In such present moments, because we are relaxed and open to our inner wisdom, as well as our interconnection with the exquisite wholeness of life, we feel the most vital and alive.
