Hey Joe, Time to wake up!
Joe gets up almost every morning to the sound of his alarm clock. He hits the snooze button and steals another 10 minutes making himself now a little short on time. He grunts and groans and gets out of bed and now the rushing around to get out the door into the traffic begins. He has been doing this since he was 5! Of course at age 5 it was kindergarten. He and his siblings would be awakened by Mom or Dad and the chaos of the morning would begin. Mom barking out orders and scurrying about making breakfast and lunches and making sure everyone had their homework and books, permission slips and whatever. On some mornings, unexpected needs or mishaps would amplify this chaotic energy. Joe still lives with all those memories embedded in his mind and in his every cell. He does not look forward to mornings.
It is a pretty common human experience to find yourself, at some point, pinched for time and rushing around: “I can’t find my keys”; “Sally, where are your shoes?” ; “Hurry up, we have to go!” or “ We are going to be late!”. Yikes, Can you feel the distress? Do you know this feeling?
For me, it is a good day to let this go. I want to tell every little cell in my body that I am erasing the effects of all of those chaotic experiences. I want my subconscious mind to release all the associated beliefs: that mornings are miserable, that there is not enough time, that I don’t manage my time well, that I am incompetent, and so forth. I want to start with a clean slate.
What if we approached that feeling of being rushed or overwhelmed in a new way?
Instead of hurrying up, when things get crazy, deliberately slow down and move into a state of relaxed ease that everything is already, right now, in divine order. Breathe.
So when the world gets crazy and things are moving fast….(and this works because I have been using this for many years)….you deliberately slow down. Slow your breath, your speaking, your walking, your moving…..just move into a slower motion, deliberately! Try it! It is very cool how it feels, especially in the midst of a crowd of people scurrying around but it works even when you are all alone and still feels really cool. It feels like you are taking control of time, and you are. You are also likely, jolting yourself out of a programmed habit and moving back into present moment awareness. This is a great feeling and a big relief.
(Using Noah St.John's Afformation technique to trigger the mind to find and embrace a new belief system...)
I will take you into the future, where you have new answers and ask you: How did you get to this point where you are relaxed about everything? Why is it so easy for you to get everywhere that you need to be at the perfect time? How is it that you love mornings and seem to be at ease about time and your calendar? When did you become so totally cool?
After all that… I think you deserve an extra weekend of fun and enjoyment! What would you do with a whole extra, unexpected weekend? Would you take a trip? Would you read good long book? have a party?????
