Without a doubt, the world is running at a faster pace than ever. We live in times where you can download, upload and “buy now” with little to no time delay. With all this instant gratification we are theoretically “freed up” to work on other, more important things that we desire.
But the big question is, are we able to easily unweave and untangle from this adrenaline rush and ease into balance and well-being?
Whether we like it or not, as a society we tend to pride ourselves on how many balls in the air we are able to juggle. In fact, we tend to wear it as a badge of honor. “Look how many tasks I can cram into an already full list?”
We think we are so efficient.
We feel like we can conquer that to-do list everyday. Then maybe someday later on in the distant future, we’ll get a much needed break.
Perhaps a 2-week vacation to unwind and get away from it all?
Maybe an early retirement to move somewhere different and then life will finally slow down.
The truth is those are only band-aid approaches to a very chronic, very serious epidemic of over-extending and under-valuing your current life.
Yes, you may certainly be juggling plenty of tasks, but how is the quality of each individual ball (or task)? Are you worn-out and feel like you don’t have enough time for yourself because you’re constantly saying yes to others? Or, you feel like if you said no then you may upset others and possibly be excluded or distanced from their lives?
Reality Check
Let’s say you take that 2-week dream vacation to a far-off, exotic locale. For most chronic workaholics and worry-aholics it will take a good week to finally let down and begin to semi-relax. The last few days might be among the most enjoyable. Maybe.
The question is - Are you truly able to embrace ease?
Or, have you packed your vacation schedule with back-to-back adventures and sight-seeing trips? With such a packed schedule it can feel eerily similar to the tension, anxiety and stress that was so familiar in your non-vacation days.
No wonder the thought of I need a vacation from my vacation is uttered by so many well meaning, yet overwhelmed people.
Let’s look at the other scenario. The one where you move somewhere else for part of the year. Remember, this is to “finally get away from all the pressure and deadlines and drama of my stressful life.”
The different setting is intended to be the magic elixir that solves all your problems, right? Well…let’s dive a bit deeper on this one for a moment, shall we?
I am reminded of the quote by Jon Kabat-Zinn, “where-ever you go, there you are.”
Translated:
If you’re addicted to drama. If you’re addicted to chaos and crazy-makers. If you’re addicted to suffering and struggle. If you’re addicted to under-valuing your own life and soothing it with an overly extended social life, then guess what?
The future will show up looking very much like the past. That winter or summer getaway is simply an extension of who you really are. Nothing changes except the weather.
The truth is that whatever your core beliefs are that you’ve held onto since childhood, they will undoubtedly follow you around like a shadow.
The very thing you wanted so desperately to shift away from and outgrow is the very thing that begins to show up over and over again.
Even with a move.
Even with a high dollar vacation.
Even with finding a new set of friends or co-workers.
Do not despair - the angels are here to help you!
The angels are here to help support your system so it can learn to move from a habituated state of anxiousness to an overall embracing feeling of calmness, peace and balance.
Multi-tasking, addictions and constant chaos are subconscious balms we put on our wounds. These are high functioning avoidance strategies, make no mistake.
They keep us in a heightened state of alert. We might feel justified as we speedily race through our to-do list.
The bigger question becomes, are you even enjoying your life? Or, do you feel you’re in constant reaction to others needs and wants?
The truth is, if we are fussing and worrying about others then we take the focus off of ourselves. We can keep the inner rumblings of self-growth and awakening at bay. I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but it is oh so common.
Uni-tasking, or one-pointed awareness, is a way to drop back into your life in a soft and gentle way. And contrary to popular belief it is not just relegated to a select few.
This is where we commit to doing one task at a time with a quality over quantity mindset. To help with this important shift from anxiety to ease we are encouraged to consciously connect with the powerful and loving angels.
This celestial team of heavenly helpers can act as a constant source of protection and courage to have a more peaceful, balanced life. One that you are more than happy to inhabit and thrive in on a daily basis.
Ready to get started?
Take out a pen and paper. Or, open a blank document on your computer. Turn off all other distractions and allow this time of sacred dialogue with your angels.
4 Helpful Angel Journal Inquiries:
Prepare: close your eyes, place your hands over your heart, take several gentle breaths and say out loud or in your mind “My Angel” ten times as a respectful invitation for your angels to be with you now. When you are done, gently begin journaling.
Guardian Angels, show me one way I can lovingly make a self-honoring choice today:
Dear Angel, show me one way I can see my life as sacred and with reverence:
Angel of My Heart, show me one way I can begin to fall back in love with my life today:
My Angel, show me one way I can stay centered in my own life today:
These are all incredibly invaluable inquiries that gently and lovingly pull our incessant, habitual focus on the outer world to our much wiser inner world, with loving guidance from the celestial realm.
These journal prompts represent what I like to call “living questions” so feel free to work with them daily. Making time (undistracted) to answer and reflect on them begins a beautiful journey back to yourself. It’s calling your soul back to you in the most loving way possible so you feel less anxious and more peaceful, balanced, and grounded.
I wish you a beautiful rest of your day.
With love and light,
💛
