So today I set about my work project in the same sacred spirit of reverence and joy that I put into the Antara Project. I set up a beautiful working space in my sunny garden, I lit incense to feed my creative juices, I lit a candle, I drank in the atmosphere and connected deeply to the universe and...then I worked on my work project.
The result...it wasn't too bad. That sounds like faint praise and I really don't mean it to be. I didn't experience the same depth of joy I feel when working on the Antara Project (and I didn't really expect to - the work project is still a bit dull compared to that). But the work itself was so much easier, the ideas seemed to flow better and I didn't resent the time anywhere near as much as I thought I would (and as I have in the past). I am still looking forward to getting the work project done and submitted but I am less stressed, more at one with the universe and feel I have done a much better job today.
The lesson - I'll stop treating work as a total chore and less deserving of my spirit than other things. Because when I give it the spiritual treatment, I get a lot more out of it.
