Day 26 - the huna of being

OK, the property saga may be about to come to a close.

It looks like the school leavers from Foxtons have finally managed to negotiate closure on the sale of my property. Cue massively more creative and cutting edge existence in hammersmith grove, recent murders aside one of london's coolest addresses.

It seems that the length of the whole process may have worked in my favour. You see, i agreed on the price for the new property over 6 weeks ago. During which time, the london property market has, depending on who you listen to, gone up by anything betweeen 1and3%, fuelled by bonus wielding, strung out city boys who are buying flats without even viewing them!

A few final negotiations over the next few days and the whole sorry deal should finally be done. 10 months start to finish!

The estate agent selling me the new pad, the rather equine clarissa, also tells me i have got a bit of a bargain. I can smell profit in the air - at last i may accumulate some money.

After all, the unpublished writers game is hardly lucrative.

A bit of property wheeler dealing will restore some balance.

Speaking of balance, the ancient Hawaiian Kahuna tribe developed a triangle, or cycle, of human 'states' which they moved constantly between.

They called it the 'huna of being'.

The 3 states of human existence are 'having', 'being' and 'doing'.

I had a long discussion yesterday about where I should try and live within this triumvirate of activities.

'Doing' is achieving. Working, fulfilling your purpose and investing in the future.

'Having' is enjoying the fruits of your labour. Partying, spending time with family or friends.

'Being' is simply taking time out to recharge - putting yourself on pause. This might be meditation, yoga, exercise, or simply sitting still.

So whereabouts should I be?

The answer, my learned friend tells me, is moving constantly between the 3, doing what is necessary, but always readdressing the balance to ensure an even distribution of my time.

I like it. It appeals.

Tell me 'you need balance' and boredom sets in.

But tell me about the hawaiian kahuna tribe's huna of being and my ears prick up. What can i say? i am a marketing man's wet dream.

I am developing a modified huna of being for the 20something which will include euch states as 'comatose', 'lashed', 'recovery' and 'discovery'. More on that later.

Yesterday was also spent in apprehension of forthcoming 3 days in a room of self helpers. But the time is nigh and i am taking the leap.

Landmark here i come.

Will report back as always.
