Ignite the Power of Possibilities!
The fact is life is full. Yes, there are days we feel like we are pulled in a million directions. Family, friends, community, work – some days the “to do” list is more like the ‘way too much to ever get done list”. But, here’s the thing: We have a tendency to keep this list running over and over and OVER in our heads. Like the refrain of an old worn out song, we constantly remind ourselves of what we think we need to get done. &n bsp; What happens? Big distraction, increased stress and maximum overload! Most importantly, we simply can’t FOCUS. But after all, how could we? How can we stay focused on our real vision when our mind reminds us a thousand times a day that we can’t forget to respond to email, follow-up with that new potential client, change the oil in the car, remember our son’s school open house, and oh yeah, what’s for dinner? Now, try multiplying this a thousand times and you have the picture of what our mind does each day.
What’s the solution? This week, try experimenting with the 4 ‘R’s’ of rekindling your creativity, igniting fresh inspiration and creating a life you absolutely love!
#1 – Respond Now.
What’s on your list that is a quick and easy get it done now task?
If it’s something that will take only 15-20 minutes, why wait? Do it now. Save yourself the investment of energy that it takes to remind your self of the task. Feel the freedom of completion and allow it to propel and motivate you forward.
#2 – Re-Assign It.
Everyone needs a support team. Whether we are a dedicated stay-at home mom or CEO of a growing enterprise, when it comes to living our vision, support is not only necessary, it’s vital! Who are the members of your team? Look around and then ask for help. Let go of the “I can do it all myself” mindset and become a team player.
#3 – Relinquish It.
Remember that stack of magazines and n ewspapers in the corner? Let’s be honest, will you ever get around to reading them? Take a close look at your list. My sense is there are some things – maybe many things – that you can simply release and let go of. Lighten the load, really prioritize and recapture boundless creative energy for what really matters most to you.
#4 – Re-Prioritize It.
Remember, this is YOUR life. So really consider what is most important to you. Take a look at your ‘to do’ list and closely consider your investment of time in a purposeful way. Create a vision. Then, one by one consider each step and when it can be accomplished. Set a date in the future and enjoy the journey of creating.
The best part of this exercise is that your mind will immediately become opened and relaxed. And, that relaxed state creates a spectacular atmosphere for more authentic, spontaneous success – where you can discover new possibilities, say YES to the life YOU desire, and live by your own unique design!
