Insane Pace?
Slow Down . . . Here’s How
Have you noticed how much faster everything seems to be going? Perhaps you feel like you are running as fast as you can and can’t get everything done you need to do? Do you have enough time for you to enjoy your life?
It seems every time I am around clients and family or friends there are those who are desperately trying to do everything they need to do to keep up with their surroundings. This can be exhausting, and is probably not the best way to stay healthy and fit.
During the last few years, numerous energy drinks have come on the market, all with an aim and focus on keeping you going. Drinks with names like Rock Star and Monster are in the cold drink cases in most convenience stores. Lattes are now being consumed with double and triple shots of espresso and hefty doses of sweeteners. I have to wonder if these drinks that are targeted at increasing our energy can really be good for us. And why do we believe we need these?
What would happen if we embraced slowing down and doing less instead of trying to keep up with the rapidly expanding universe? If there was a way you could be as effective and productive as you are now, or more effective and productive, with 20-50% less effort, would you want to embrace that experience and opportunity? If I could show you how to get all the energy you need and more without consuming chemicals to get you there would you be interested?
Years ago when Thomas Leonard was alive he began talking about the Absence of You concept. The idea was to take away anything that was not serving you so you could be the best you could be. Thomas understood and taught that real effectiveness in life was fueled by passion instead of adrenaline.
When you begin eliminating all of the things in your life that are not consistent with or congruent with your intentions, an interesting thing happens; you will experience much more energy and time too!
Most of us live from the view point that when we do this or add that to our already busy and cluttered lives we will then have what we need or want. This stalling tactic is really nothing more than an energy thief.
Here are my top 10 ways to slow down that insane pace and enjoy the resulting peace:
- Become very clear about what you want in every aspect of your life. What do you want in terms of relationships, your physical being, your mental and emotional being, your financial well being, and your spiritual well being? You get to choose. Consider using my e-course on Choosing Consciously if this is a challenge for you. It’s available at this link:
www.rockitcoaching.com/events/#ecourses - 2. Get that most of the aspects of your life as you’re currently experiencing it are driven by your unconscious programming that was accumulated during the first 7 years of your life. It’s no longer relevant! (If you would like to lose it quickly and effortlessly consider booking a session with me or a consciousness shifting coach.)
- Whenever you are considering doing something, ask yourself the following question: “Is the action I am considering one that moves me closer to or further from my desired end result?” If the answer is anything other than yes, consider eliminating this task from your to-do list.
- Take a look at your to-do list and sort it into 4 categories as follows: To do immediate time frame, (within the week) /to do maybe someday (to be reviewed weekly and moved if appropriate) /delegate it / and dump it. Take the prescribed action for each category.
- Notice every time you think you should do something and ask yourself “why”? Repeat step #3.
- Notice what you’re tolerating. Write down for a week everything you’re putting up with and then choose to begin eliminating. Once you have your list, place each item in different categories like financial, environment, relationships. Ask yourself what one action you could take for each category that would eliminate several of the items on your list. The focus on clearing tolerations from your life will give you lots of energy and time for other things. Tolerations lists are great because they cause you to become aware. Just by becoming aware, things begin to change.
- Define what success means for you. Most of us are externally referenced and we measure our value by things that are external reference points. These points are on shaky ground and always subject to change. They cannot and will not ultimately lead to success. If the concept of external verses internal reference is foreign to you or if you would like some help with this, check out my e-course Defining Success for Yourself, available at this link: www.rockitcoaching.com/events/#ecourses
- Notice if you live your life with a need to please others or if you choose to please yourself. Pleasing others when need driven is a black hole and, no matter what you do, it’s never enough. You are the one measuring the not enough piece of this and you are the one depleting your life force. When you live your life to please yourself, (note we are not talking selfish consumption here), your choices are energizing.
- Tell yourself the truth. Do you really want to do what you’re doing or is there another choice that would make your heart sing? Choose what makes your heart sing.
- Let go of past mistakes and regret. Being in this moment is the only place to be, as this is where the action is! Should haves, could haves, and would haves are not taking you where you want to go. In fact they are taking you away from what you most desire.
