life is quite busy, but too many days in a row like this and I become stagnant and start feeling depressed and flat. On the other hand, I’ve also gone
through periods of overworking. Being addicted to work (also known as workaholism) can be a real problem and can lead to serious health issues. I found after a few years of working late hours every day at my job I burned out and went a bit crazy.
WHAT ABOUT YOU? In much of society, there’s an expectation that men should be masculine and women should be feminine. Even in some more ‘spiritual’ circles (Tantra people, I’m looking at you!), this attitude is prevalent. Reading a bit too much David Deida can lead to a terrible condition known as Deidaism that I myself have suffered from at times. This may lead a man to feel like a failure if he isn’t outcome oriented, task focused, and 100% disciplined every second of every day. And a woman may feel that if she isn’t totally relaxed
and flowing in every moment, she isn’t ‘being in her feminine’ enough. Obviously I’m being facetious, and the
Deida perspective certainly has value for a lot of people. I feel that what is more important is to find our own balance of masculine and feminine rather than some dogmatic idea of how we should be, based on our gender. In what ways do you consider yourself
masculine? Where do you think that you are feminine? Are there places in your life that you could use more masculine energy? And are there areas that you could be more feminine? ■
