It feels like there there’s always so much to do on my never-ending to-do list and never enough hours to get it all done. Even though overwhelm appears to be about doing and having lots to do, it’s actually a state of being first. Believe it or not, it is possible to have lots to do and not feel overwhelmed. There are many more states you can be in that will make you more productive. In fact, judging from the effect it has, it seems like overwhelm is about not getting anything done! Overwhelm makes you feel like it’s motivating you to be efficient but really it’s a state of being that stems from fear. You are being driven by a fear of a negative consequence of some kind, and your focus is solely on the outcome, which takes the joy out of the process. Remember, it's not just about the destination but the journey.]]> http://www.alignedandthriving.com/latest/how-to-stop-overwhelm-from-stopping-you/ You're probably in the trance of busy-ness? Everyone’s so busy nowadays, but what exactly are we all busy doing? What I’m about to say may hurt but I’m still going to say it. The truth is most of us are busy doing stuff that’s of no real significance. None if it will matter in 1, 5 or even 10 years time. We fill our days to bursting with tasks and appointments which make us feel important as we run around like headless chickens flapping our arms in the air, going on and on about how busy we are and how little time we have for ourselves. We can become addicted to the drama of it all, in a trance until something of real meaning snaps us out of it. ]]> http://www.alignedandthriving.com/latest/are-you-in-the-trance-of-busy-ness/ http://www.alignedandthriving.com/latest/how-do-you-handle-failure/
This chronic worrying has become an accepted part of managing money, so much so that people that do not worry about money are viewed as living in cloud cuckoo land or simply being in denial. ]]> http://www.alignedandthriving.com/general/stop-worrying-about-money/ Broken Dreams poem during Rev. Dr. Lorraine Cohen and Rev. Anita Pathik Law’s Aligning with Destiny course (which I highly recommend by the way) and loved it immediately and hope you do too:

Broken Dreams



As children bring their broken toys With tears for us to mend I brought my broken dreams to God Because He was my friend

But then instead of leaving Him In peace to work alone I hung around and tried to help In ways that were my own

At last I snatched them back and cried ”How could You be so slow?” ”My child” He said, “What could I do? You never did let go?”

They're a bit like looking at an optical illusion; you spend time focusing on the image knowing there is something there that you cannot see and then BINGO something in your perspective shifts and you see it! ]]> http://www.alignedandthriving.com/general/resentment-whats-it-costing-you/ “In preparing for battle, I have often found that plans are useless but planning is indispensable” Dwight D.
