reverb remix 2013 : ease
2. Ease. What can you do to add ease to 2014?
Remember to breathe. Sit. Ask myself "is this true?". Give myself permission to try again. Ask for what I need. Ask for what I want. Be willing to say "not right now." Also be willing to say "yes, let's!"
I think that one of the most significant things that I can do to add ease to 2014 is to allow enough time. When I'm rushing, I'm stressing. When I allow 30 minutes for something that takes an hour, I end up feeling like a failure. Deadlines inspire me, but I need to find a balance between waiting for the inspiration and waiting until the last minute.
I also want to remember that sometimes ease comes AFTER doing the hard thing. Opening the bill. Making the call. Writing down the action item. Asking myself "What can I do to put my mind at ease right now?"…

I’m so loving these! Excellent food for thought. I’ve taken a class from Aby Garvey before, and I actually asked her if I could be addicted to the rush, or adrenaline, that kicks me into gear and forces me to scurry around and get things done. Ease. Great thought….

First – Aby is awesome, isn’t she? My friend, Lisa, suggested that perhaps I put off certain things (especially freelance projects) b/c I’m afraid that there won’t be something after…sort of like delaying the ending. Definitely something to think about!
