Making Room for Change!
Discovery September 23rd, 2007”You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.”
What a week! Just how much can we cram into a week? I would say that most of those I come in contact with are doing 48 hours worth of work and packing it into 24 hours. That makes you wonder when do they sleep. What is the hurry? Why are we all so busy? You might think that people who are that busy are getting a lot completed, reaching goals, making progress, feeling deeply satisfied! If you had to guess, how true a statement would you say that is? Well,truth be told we are very busy but not very satisfied. I have been guilty of this myself. I use to be the busiest person I know, I was often exhausted and realized I had very little to show for it. So something had to give. I decided it would not be my well being. I realized I wanted to experience more of my life not just live in the fast lane with no peace, no quiet time, no money, no satisfaction and a lot of frustration.
The first step for me was to decide what was most important to me, what are my values. What did I want to create in my life? I realized this meant, I had to work smarter not harder. I looked at the “busyness” and asked myself, What was I so busy doing ? As I really looked at it I could see that the busyness was not productive, purposeful or directed. Once I defined my values (coach, create, abundance and peace) it helped me eliminate all the things that failed to satisfy or enhance these values and to maintain the things that did. With this shift, I was able to balance my time, making room for what was most important and eliminating what was not. I don’t miss those things today and in the case of people issues that I was taking on that were not mine to take on, I have opened a space for those people to grow through their own issues rather than letting me carry it for them. What peace!
What will you do with all this free time? Hopefully you will have additional time for you to breathe. I found time for the work of the Now What program. One of the steps of the program is to actualize your values. The is the foundation, the first step from which everything else we do flows.
