Good morning ladies...
This is my first entry on our site and I "decided" today was the day to connect. Life Managment...what? I woke this morning with my mind racing a million different directions, per usual, as I am sure we all do. We hear, read, and see all sorts of books, tapes, and visual input that is to help us simplify our daily lives. Hmmm...most of the time I feel like it only complicates my life. So today I decided to jot down a few lines about Life Managment. What does it mean to simplify our lives, how do we do this in a productive manner, what book, tape, or talk show can help me? Here is the magic answer! None of the above. There is nothing outside of us which can help us manage our daily lives. Everything we need to do this is inside. No calendar, no time frames, no books, no electronic gadget organizer (no matter how cool it is) can help... they are distractions...oh dear now what? It has been my experience that when I stop the outside searching and get quiet for a few minutes (no you don't have to go to a place to learn to meditate to get this) and simply connect with myself I am instantly calmed and the noise begins to sound like the teacher on "Charlie Brown" I can feel, hear, and see my single direction. Getting aware that I can reach this space any time, any where, any place helps me manage my life. So the next time you are feeling overwhelmed remember the teacher's noise on "Charlie Brown" and you will be able to stop and connect with your own teacher. Take a deep breath, as I always say, everything is all good!
Re-member getting in shape, staying in shape, or getting out of shape is within you. Life Managment is a second by second choice in your life. How you respond is also your choice. Lift your head up, pat yourself on the back, look at yourself in the mirror and praise yourself because you are perfect and amazing in everyway.
