want to get more done? slow down

Do you start HOT out of the gate to burn out further down the road? 

Has the fire that once fueled you left you feeling burned?

Do you use the word busy multiple times in your week? 

Do you ever feel like you need to be busier? 

 If you lay down on the couch to relax, do you think you are lazy?

We admire busy people.  We even celebrate busyness as a badge of honor. What does this busyness get us?

More things to do.

We get so focussed on the next step we need to remember the greater picture. It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day. 

However, too much of this energy can lead to frustration, anger, or agitation.

I know I've been DOING more than BEING when I'm agitated about little things.

So how to fight this busyness mindset?

Replace being BUSY with INTENTIONAL FOCUS. 

Replace being HARSH with GRACE.

Replace being EXHAUSTED with EASE.

Things you can slow down today

• Waking up
• Breathing
• Eating
• Driving 

When we slow down, we create space for grace. It brings us to the present moment, and magic happens when our full attention is on it.

The space for grace is where anything and everything is possible.

When you slow down, you can access your intuition.

When you slow down, you feel inspired by purpose and possibilities 

When you slow down, you can be intentional in your mind

This makes you a conscious creator of your life. What you hold in your mind, you manifest in your life. So when you slow down, you create more with intention.

Four things to try this week to help you create space for grace.

1. Weekly planning: plan ahead of time for the things that matter 
2. Daily meditation: training your attention so you can notice your intuition
3. Daily journal: analyzing the patterns of our thoughts, feelings, and actions
4. Disconnection from technology: make some part of your day and make it screen-free 
   

What do you choose? To rush or create?
