Morning Folks,
Just flew in yesterday from The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It’s 7 am and I’m running through my emails and stuff. It’s been a spiritually refreshing trip. I hadn’t realized how constantly online I was and so to be disconnected from that and to connect with my small nuclear family for that much time was, I think, a positive step.
The trip was a Pilgrimage (minor) to Makkah (what you guys call Mecca) and ultimately was a trip dedicated to worship and spiritual contemplation. That meant that I did not allow myself to get sucked back into the day to day hamster wheel spin of the voiceover business I had. So I setup an auto-responder to tell clients that I won’t be accepting jobs for the duration of my visit and when I will be available again … and that was pretty much it. I might have lost a few jobs but ultimately I stopped checking my email accounts on my cellphone every 5 minutes… and that in itself is a massive improvement…. which was helped of course by the lack of internet availability (I should say widespread internet availability) in the cities I visited.
