Oh, we need to slow down. Okay, I need to slow down
now. If you've been listening to the show for a while, you've heard
already about the changes of my professional life. How I went from being responsible
for a single market or territory to having my responsibilities expanded to four markets.
So really the entire East Coast from New England all the way down to Florida
and into Louisiana is now my territory. Well, when I only had one
market, that was easy for me. The job was easy. I had
set things in place that made things kind of automatic, so I was able
to really focus on my spiritual life and slow down and allow spirit to be
with me, to be resent. Because I wasn't constantly thinking of what else
I have to do at work, I was able to take it one step
at a time. Now that I've inherited three additional markets, I'm finding myself
to move a lot faster, like a lot faster, in order to keep
up with the demands of the other markets. Not just because there's other markets,
but because those processes that I put in place in the one market while
they're not there any other three. So as I try to wrap my head
around how to bring everything into alignment at the same time making sure that none
of the balls that were left to me are dropped and that I continue to
push forward with progress in my responsibilities. I find that it's a lot.
It's taking a lot of my energy, a lot of my time, a
lot of my focus, and like I mentioned before, when my mind can't
process it all during the day, well the only option that it has is
to process it at night. And so I'm having a hard time sleeping,
like a really hard time sleeping because of it, because my mind is constantly
going, going, going, while I'm sleeping. So then today, yes,
as an every day, I start meditating, and the meditation I get
messages that I'm supposed to get, And so I wanted to share those messages
with you because you might find yourself in the same place as me, where
you're being asked to do a lot, and if you're like me and you
like to succeed, what your natural inclination is to push forward as hard as
you can to conquer it to make it happen. The problem with that is
that sometimes parts of you that are needed get left behind when you're focused on
just the one, which is success. Our spiritual wellbeing needs Slowness needs focus,
needs, calm, needs peace, serenity, being in the now when
you're rushing, rushing, rushing, doing everything you need to do to get
things done. Because professionally you have to get things done, you tend to
not be in the now, but always in the future, right the what's
next? What do I have to do? What else do I have to
figure out? And that's not really conducive to spiritual growth, and it's hard,
at least it's hard for me to balance the two. So I have
to keep reminding myself that I was put in this position without being asked for
it, that I have to accept things as they are, so I can
only do what I can do, and I have to make sure that doesn't
fringe on my health, in my well being, my mental health, and
in my family, most importantly, my spiritual well being. And so by
my recording this and sending this out to you, it's my way of sending
out an affirmation into the universe to try to remind myself that I need to
take the time for me. I can only do what I can do,
and I will diligently move forward as I can. But I've got to keep
myself centered. I've got to keep myself in the now, and I can't
be this anxious and distress about moving forward with what I have to do at
work all the time. Now. It doesn't mean not do the work,
because I do. I take pride in it. I love what I do.
But it means slowly and steadily moving forward to put processes in place that
will allow me to get back my peace of mind. And I recommend that
if you find yourself in the same boat, you do the same thing.
Focus on your well being, on your calm, on your presence first,
while you're putting things in place in your professional life that allow you to maintain
your piece. You can always you should always put your well being first.
And if you're trying to do too much, well, that's a sign that
you're trying to do too much
