Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by and visiting More to Your Life. With summer officially in full swing I hope that everyone is living these gorgeous once in a lifetime days to the fullest.
I used to be so caught up in all the things that I felt were so important that it seemed like I would just blink and summer would be over, the leaves would be turning and another chapter in my life would have been written with not a lot of fun stuff to record on the pages.
I was reminded of that today as my friend and I were trying to get together for a visit. Her life is very busy with a new business venture, two active kids and the myriad of other stuff that constitutes life as most of us know it.
She sent me a message that said she would call as soon as she “got a grip on this day”. Does that ring a bell with any of you? It sure did with me. I used to spend half of my time trying to get a grip on the day and the rest of the time trying to figure out what to do if I got a grip. Kinda’ like a dog that chases a car and then one day catches one—oops, now what!!!!
It took some time and a lot of pain and discomfort for me to realize that I’m not supposed to “get a grip” on my day or for that matter much of anything else in my life.
What I feel I am supposed to do is to channel that energy that is so wasted in the “getting a grip” process into aligning myself and my energy with the Universe to achieve what I want to have happen in my day.
I don’t want to have to expend time and energy assuming that I’m at the mercy of whatever events are happening to me on this or any other day for that matter.We all feel at one time or another that pressure that there isn’t enough time to get it all done, that there will be all these negative consequences if we don’t etc etc.
I’ve learned that there is generally more time then we think we have and that when I align my energy things get done as they are supposed to and usually better then with me trying to force the outcome.
If you feel that this sounds like some of what is going on in your life I’ve got very good news: You don’t have to continue to live like that. You can learn to manage your energy and take an active part in how you live you life.
Drop us a note and we’ll be happy to talk with you about changes you can make that will result in much More to Your Life. Until next time,
Namaste,JIM
