A couple of weeks ago I felt like I was multitasking everything.
The activities and responsibility’s within Evado Lifebalance, my new part-time job at Newport Health & Spa, Light Day 2011, my relationship and myself.
I wanted to do everything the best I could and give everything and everybody all my attention. Even though I totally love all these activities and I am passionate about them, I started feeling I was in a tank and the water was slowly filling and filling.
At the Light Day, a friend explained the Reiki rules of life. One of them was “show diligence in your undertakings”. Which basically means, do all that you do with devotion. It brings me back to my life long lesson of living in the moment and living your passion. How can I give a 100% to something or somebody when I am already busy with the next activity even if just in my mind?
As I was searching articles on the internet about multitasking I came upon a quote from Dr Compernolle: “Would you want a surgeon who multitasks during the operation?” I guess the answer is very clear.
After the Light day, I felt a shift in myself. Getting back to our topic of this season, the art of slowing down. I chose my priorities, doing what I love and decided that when I am working on one of the above I give it my total attention. Leaving the other activity to it’s own moment. Amazingly I feel I have more time!
Saying no, belongs to this topic. Knowing the path I want to take I am learning to politely decline. This has always been very hard for me. Interesting is that the more I stay true to myself and my path, I learn that people respect me for my decisions. It is ok to say no too!
