Picture yourself relaxed, focused, at peace, enjoying fully the one task you are doing. Wow, what a concept. When is the last time you were able to do that?
I think we need to adjust our idea of time. Having the sense that there is never enough doesn't seem very healthy or productive. Is it possible to imagine having all the time we need? Yes, just do it, adopt that attitude, that belief and see what happens. Yes, it takes a lot of practice.
If we start our day with 100% of our energy, what do we need to do to maintain that energy all throughout the day? Identify your energy drains. Be prepared to handle them differently. Plan ahead.
Can you make a committment to do one thing at a time? After all, you now have all the time you need!
What does it mean to you to slow down? What would happen? What are you afraid will happen if you just stop? Stop and be quiet. Stop everything and just listen. Listen to what your body is telling you, what your heart is yearning for, what your spirit needs.
Only by stopping and being quiet can we hear. Only by facing these needs can we know what step to take next. It's worth it.
Stop now, take several deep breaths. Breathe in positive, refreshing energy, breathe out negative thoughts, negative energy, stress, etc. Let it go, relax, be quiet. Relax your face. Be at peace. Feel the breath as it enters and exits your nose. When thoughts enter your mind, and they will, just let them go and focus back on your breathing.
It gets easier as you practice. Your body learns how to be quiet and relax.
Enjoy!
