I woke up this morning feeling sad and thinking of all the things I had to do
today and how I needed about 10 more hours in the day in order to get it all
done.
With this kind of thinking, to tell you the truth, I did not even want to
get out of bed. Overwhelm does that to you. It is paralyzing.
So, I decided to have a small chat with myself. What if, I just made the
decision to take it easy today? As usual, I have been working long hours and
trying to do too much. It just wears me down after a while. But, what if
today, I made the choice of ease.
So, I decided to work on only those things that really had to be done,
promises I made to customers waiting etc and to do these things in a more
gentle way. No rushing, no stress! Simply EASE, as though I really did have
all the time in the world.
As soon as I made that choice, I felt so much lighter and things immediately
started to improve everywhere.
It feels so much better physically as well, to just work from a light, easy
and joyful place, rather than rushing to get things done as fast as
possible, moving onto the next thing, and the next thing, and the next
thing, on our to do list, with our body tense, anxious and tight. Nothing
good can really come from that health wise.
I also decided that If I felt like crying, that was fine as well, I did not
stuff it inside or put it off, telling myself I was just too busy to cry. I
simply cried and it moved right through me, and in a little while I was fine
again. I think that crying can be a good thing, a releasing and cleansing
experience.
Amazingly, after a while, I began to see all the blessings in my life right
where I am NOW, and I was able to really appreciate those things in a much
more profound way and SEE them from a fresh and different perspective.
And I had a great insight, the FEELING of EASE and the FEELING of ABUNDANCE
are exactly the same thing. As long as I am feeling light and easy, I am
much more likely to have an abundant day and a fulfilling life |
