Thinking Sabbatical
It started as part of an experiment.
Now, it has grown into a daily practice.
And this practice is changing everything.
You may remember that I designed a ‘thinking sabbatical’ back in December to coincide with my 28 Day Transformation Experiment. It was all about transformation and manifestation, and the ‘thinking sabbatical’ aspect came about through a simple inner urge. The universe sang and I got up to dance.
I think I’m on to something big because everything has changed. My life has gone from ‘very good’ to ‘great,’ and I am enjoying more of the things we so often ‘work’ to get: more peace, more abundance, more passion, more zest, more joy, more happiness, more patience, more manifestation.
And it all started because I was willing to take carve out a specific time to simply be quiet and think. Now, my thinking sabbatical is an everyday habit. It is a joy to me.
I’m continuing to polish the process, and I will share it with you in the near future. First I have to get through my election in May (please see previous posts), and then I intend for my online life to get back to normal.
But, until I have the opportunity to share my process with you properly, why not start cultivating the habit now? Just take a few minutes to relax and breathe; quieten your mind and think. Just see what comes up.
Do you have specific questions?

Hi Buz,
Thank you for encouraging me to take some time out just to sit and ponder. I know it’s important to do this.
And… the absolute best fortune to you in the election in May! You go Buz!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blessings,

Hi Buz,
When I first heard about your “thinking sabbatical” on Todd’s radio program, it really hit home with me. I’ve been suffering with information overload, and I knew that’s what I needed as soon as the words came out of your mouth.
I haven’t taken my “sabbatical” as yet, but I’ve planned it for the end of June. I’m going to go off for the weekend by myself and just “think”. A little sun, sand, and surf should enhance the experience nicely.
I’ve also been following your advice and giving some time each week to build a sort of agenda for my thinking sabbatical. Perhaps, calling it a list of “topics” might be a better description. In any event, I’m refining the ideas that I want to discuss with myself. My goal is to gain clarity and direction on the things that I’ve singled out as most important in my life.
Thanks again for your help and advice,
Weldon
Hi Buz,
Thinking…. and doing nothing…. is a fantastic exercise and highly recommended. It is in those moments of quiet that great inspiration comes to us. I find when I have spent time thinking things through, planning stuff in my head and then visualising it completed, then I am so much more productive when I come to taking action.
Great subject.
Love, light and positive energy for 50%+++++ of the vote in May!
With abundant blessings.
