Space – Final Frontier or Powerful Business Strategy?

How many of you saw the recent Star Trek movie?  Amazing, wasn’t it?  I’m not a huge Trekkie myself, but I really loved this particular version of the Star Trek story.  As my hubby walked out of the theatre I was practically skipping through the parking lot exclaiming how much I loved the movie, how well it was done and even how I thought the casting director should receive an award for doing such a great job!

Then, as we drove home, I started to think about what space really means to me.  This is one of those topics that kinda’ blows my mind (along with the time concept – don’t even get me started on that one).  I mean, what is space?  Does it ever end?  How could it?  How couldn’t it?  And then I started thinking about our loving Universe.  I always tend to equate these two – do you?

And as I pondered the concept of the Universe and allowed my mind to wander as I considered space, I had a feeling that “space” is something that I need more of.  Not in the sense of running away from others, trying to “have my space” but in the sense of creating pockets of time for things to show up in my life.

I don’t know about you but I tend to be pretty scheduled and on task.  It’s very rare for me to have “space” in my calendar just to be – or to allow things to unfold.  And it’s high time I changed that.  I guess the struggle for me is that I’m interested in so many things.  Outside of my professional and family responsibilities, I have tons of interests – from crafting to reading, studying to become a Religious Science Practitioner, playing tennis, the list just goes on and on.

So it’s really hard for me to not fill my time with the things I love.  But having had this space revelation, I decided to play with this whole notion and see what happened.  And wouldn’t you know, amazing things surfaced!

In creating “space” in my work calendar, I was able to sit quietly, taking some pre-2010 strategic planning contemplative time.  Another time, the phone rang and I was able to coach a friend through a difficult situation.  In my personal life, creating space has allowed me to walk around my yard, looking at nothing in particular, but yet taking in everything.  Each and every one of these experiences was rejuvenating for me and likely ones I would not have had, had I not created the space for them to show up.

So when can you create some space in your own calendar?  Challenge yourself to try this exercise for yourself, and see what shows up.  Maybe you’ll find rejuvenation too!
