Question:
Many deadlines ..Can I some how make the whole experience like a retreat?
Hi Everyone, I am a graduate student. I like what I do a lot. But at present, with the semester end coming closer, I have to meet deadlines for too many things. These things are very important and a bit prestigeous too. So, really requires a high level of committment.
However, I do not want to feel drained out. Please give me some ideas to make this whole one month to be more joyful experience. I am a more spiritual/yoga kind of a person. Thanks!
Answers:
In my town, there are several retreat centers where you can go for the weekend. They're cheap; they feed you; they leave you alone. I'm not Catholic, but the Dominicans and the Franciscans have small retreat centers--but we've got 6-8 others. (mid-sized town). If not in your community, there must be some near you. Your presence creates the spirit of the retreat, but it can be both peaceful and productive for your school work. Good luck.
