Are you “too busy” to get to  your TO DOs?

Because we live too much in our run-on thinking minds, we “think” we’re too busy to complete projects and so go to bed every night with shoulds and ought tos and negative emotional upheavals that can actually interrupt our sleeping patterns, as well as every day joy patterns. We keep dancing around all things we know we “should” be getting done and completed that we are resisting.

Think about a child who “just doesn’t have time” to do a chore. Is that true? The chore may take all of 60 seconds! like in taking out the trash, or feeding a pet. But ohhhh, the complaining, fretting, procrastinating and crazy-making-drama that is laced all around it. And, what does the adult say? “If you just do it you’ll be done and can go play!” This is no different for adults!

Our brain and undisciplined thinking-mind make our lives very hard by continually resisting “what is” and doing the doing. The fact is, that unfinished projects hang over our heads and distract us from the task at hand, and more importantly, from our joy.

DO THIS:

1. Make a list of every unfinished and half-done project or job you have. (No thinking about it. Just write it down.)

2. Talk to the resistant “kid” in you and plan 5-15 minutes to “chip” away at it every day.

3. Plan more slots of time to do the same and DO THE DOING so that you can GO OUT AND PLAY!

You’ll be finished with project after project, day and week-by-week and feel so good about yourself. You’ll also be doing your health and wellness a good service. You’ll have let go of the stress, fear, tension, anxiety, self-loathing and all else that accompanies the NOT DOING and SHOULDs.

Start today! Think how much you’ll get done by the end of the week, month and year! WHOOHOO!
