5 Ways To Escape Overwhelm
- Don't Kid Yourself. Living life like a typical busy person may allow you to be productive from time-to-time, but let's be honest. It's no way to live. Is it?
- Take A Day Off For Evaluation. The purpose of the day off is to allow you to take a mental step back and re-assess what's really important to you.
- Cut Back Your Wish List. It's realistic to have 2 or 3 big projects for each year. THAT'S IT. Accept that some – if not most – of the rest of your list is going to have to get the chop.
- Control Your Daily List. If long lists are your thing then take charge of them by numerically prioritizing your tasks for the day.
- Accept Failure As A Good Thing. With that in mind I'd suggest you make it okay in your mind to not get things done. Embrace the idea not just as realistic, but as positive.
13 Sure Fire Ways to Raise Your Consciousness
- Simplifying. Eliminate stuff, clear away clutter and clean your home.
- Deliberate Action. Taking specific action and moving forward even when you're afraid, frustrated and confused will give you clarity.
- Uplifting Music. Music has a profound effect on our consciousness, so use it wisely.
- Exercise. It doesn't even have to be boring. Find what you think is fun. The important thing is that you do it regularly.
- Being Kind. When you are generous, you can feel your heart expanding.
- Meditation. Meditation can be done while doing the dishes, reading, walking or looking at a candle. There are no limitations.
- Singing. While I am not a huge fan of singing, it does raise your consciousness dramatically.
- Nature. Being out in nature is relaxing for a reason. Go for a stroll in the park, sit below a tree, or have a picnic.
- Having Fun. Watch a comedy, go out with your closest friends or sit down with a good book.
- Animals. Did you know that just being around a dog or a cat has health benefits? Being around animals is calming, because they live in the now.
- Being Present. Stop thinking about the past and future for a second and just be. There is nothing more uplifting than that.
- Eating Healthy. Food is one of our greatest enemies when it comes to our health. Be mindful of what you eat.
- Following Your Passion. Last, but definitely not least, if you want to raise your consciousness and your vibration, you have to do what you love.
20 Ways to Stretch Yourself
- Start with awareness. Recognize right now that more is possible for you, and it can be achieved.
- Access what you want. What do you want to achieve, learn, accomplish, enjoy and understand?
- Pick your top five. Don't overwhelm yourself with everything on your list.
- Pick something easy. Create momentum and excitement by starting with an easy goal.
- For now, don't think. Just start taking small actions.
- Challenge assumptions. You must challenge assumptions and negative thinking.
- Befriend failure. Begin to view failure as a friend, not an enemy. If you avoid failure, you are restricting your life.
- Make it public. This is a real stretch, but a very successful one. When you begin a new goal or challenge, tell someone — anyone, everyone. Make it public.
- Find a mentor. Find someone whose life you want to emulate. Study that person.
- Look stupid. Be willing to reveal what you don't know. Everyone has areas of ignorance.
- Ignore other people. Strive to detach from what other people think about you.
- Stop resisting. You are going to hit obstacles — whether it's negative people or circumstances. Instead of resisting, move in a different direction.
- Think creatively. Think big. Now think bigger.
- Remove distractions. Whatever you are working on, work on that one thing.
- Simplify everything. In order to achieve what will take you to the next level, you have to let go of what's tethering you to the mundane.
- Try new things. Whenever you have the opportunity, try something new.
- Set a big challenge. Create a big challenge for yourself, just for the fun of it.
- Join a community. There's lots of support out there for whatever you are doing.
- Acknowledge yourself. Every step forward should be celebrated.
- Enjoy the process. As you take steps to stretch yourself and create a better life, don't forget to savor the "right now."
How to Wake Up Inspired …
- Eat inspiration for breakfast. Who do you want to be like, who are some of your mentors? Take some time in the morning to read something they've written.
- Reflect on your reasons why. Without that purpose, it can be hard to stay inspired.
- Discard unwanted commitments. Regularly reviewing your commitments to make sure that you're only working on things that truly excite you is essential to being inspired.
- Create an inspiring physical space. What is it that you truly love to do? What gets your energy flowing and your blood rushing? Surround your physical space in things that will remind you of and reinforce your passion.
- Surround yourself with inspiring people. The people you socialize and engage with will have a big impact on your level of inspiration.
- Challenge yourself. The more you move in the direction of things that challenge and make you a bit nervous, the more likely you will find inspiration.
- Create space. It's in the gaps that beauty is found. It's the empty space that makes a cup useful.
10 Tips for Living a Better Life, One Day at a Time--from Pope John XXIII.
- Only for today, I will seek to live the livelong day positively without wishing to solve the problems of my life all at once.
- Only for today, I will take the greatest care of my appearance: I will dress modestly; I will not raise my voice; I will be courteous in my behavior; I will not criticize anyone; I will not claim to improve or to discipline anyone except myself.
- Only for today, I will be happy in the certainty that I was created to be happy, not only in the other world but also in this one.
- Only for today, I will adapt to circumstances, without requiring all circumstances to be adapted to my own wishes.
- Only for today, I will devote 10 minutes of my time to some good reading, remembering that just as food is necessary to the life of the body, so good reading is necessary to the life of the soul.
- Only for today, I will do one good deed and not tell anyone about it.
- Only for today, I will do at least one thing I do not like doing; and if my feelings are hurt, I will make sure that no one notices.
- Only for today, I will make a plan for myself: I may not follow it to the letter, but I will make it. And I will be on guard against two evils: hastiness and indecision.
- Only for today, I will firmly believe, despite appearances, that the good Providence of God cares for me as no one else who exists in this world.
- Only for today, I will have no fears. In particular, I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful and to believe in goodness. Indeed, for 12 hours I can certainly do what might cause me consternation were I to believe I had to do it all my life.
