I'm coming out of my winter cocoon having spent the better part of these past months hunkered down, working on some projects that have been on the back burner. I don't think I'm alone on this; putting things off, procrastinating, feeling overwhelmed and stressed just thinking about the never ending to-do list. Getting things done, does take time and effort, but surprisingly I had some important revelations along the way to share. I realized that life can be compared to a great big giant buffet table. Everything looks so good and beyond tempting often making it hard to say no. We want it all. Before we know it, we've said yes to too much, packed our plate to overflowing but we continue stuffing ourselves anyway with constant busy-ness, non-stop doing and energetic overload. I don't know about you but whenever I eat at a buffet, it's challenging knowing when to stop before feeling so full and stuffed that I need to unbutton the pants. This is not enjoyment!
When we take on too much, we're too full and can't enjoy ourselves at all. There is another way to getting things done in everyday life with grace, ease and pleasure!
That's what I did.
Ta da...So excited to share my completed project with you.
It took a lot of Uni-tasking. One thing at a time. Mindfulness. Focus.
It was truly a fun, creative, fulfilling project and real pleasure to bring something in my heart, mind and soul to life. Please take a peak at our new Therapeutic Touch website HERE and let me know what you think. It was something I had planned to have done for our 25th anniversary last year, but I was too busy multi-tasking and procrastinating. It was actually perfect timing NOW!
Is there anything calling to you that maybe you've been procrastinating and putting off doing? Maybe it's time...
- Sometimes clearing the table is necessary before we sit down with our plate.
- Getting the right people at your table to join and help you can make all the difference.
- Break things down into bite size chunks that you can easily chew on.
- Pace yourself. Small doable bites.
- Take your time. What's the rush?
- Pick and choose what feels right today. Let your intuition be your guide.
- Savor and enjoy what's in front of you NOW.
- Being present makes all the difference.
- Stop multitasking. Contrary to what many people believe, we are not wired for multi-taskIng. It's an addictive bad habit, actually stresses us out and has long term harmful effects on our brain. (Tons of research on this!)
- Build your Awareness muscle...one mindful moment at a time!
That's what I did.
