Running on Empty
I am very fortunate. With focus, faith, and attention, I can make things happen. The operative word is make.
Making it happen is tiring. From zero to 100, a million times a day. Though the elevator rides I am able to accomplish a few things on my brain, but not the most important things and at times I neglect loved ones. So new commitment, I am slowing down damn it! Stephanie Chick of www.deliverthepackage.com is helping me. And with the slowing down I am finding that my grand dreams are washing up on my shore, effortlessly.
What it means practically: I wake up at 5:00am. From 5 to 6am I do whatever I want as long as it does not include watching television or reading the newspapers. (I would begin the day reading about fear and wonder why I was anxious at work.) Now, I write, read, stretch, take a bath, talk on the phone, meditate, pray, dance, sing—anything that feeds my soul.
It has been two weeks and now I crave this quiet time. So far, I feel the tide bending to my current. I’ve stopped running. I’ll keep you posted.
Much love,
JB.
