Leaving the Life of “Too Busy” Behind

Posted by Admin on March 19th, 2010 filed in Uncategorized

pulling-hair-outOK – so we’ve discussed some of the warning signs of being too busy and the problems this creates in one’s life. Ready to leave this lifestyle behind?

The first step is to admit that things have gotten out of control. You likely did this when you read the last post…right? Good!

You do have choices; however, and choosing to slow down and create a balance in your life is a reasonable choice and wise choice.

Spend a short time visualizing a time in your life when you were not overwhelmed with busyness. Think back to what it felt like. It felt good…right?

Now it’s time to plan how you are going to achieve this calm and serene feeling in your life. Redesign your life so it encompasses only the things you choose for it to include. Remove every single thing you don’t love or want. You can do this!

With happiness as your goal, you have the motivation to make these changes.

Begin to conquer the physical clutter around your spaces. Remove things that are unnecessary because these things lead to stress…whether you realize it or not. Once you make a dent in the physical clutter, start getting rid of the obligations that clutter your time. Delegate where you can and where you cannot delegate, you must ruthlessly eliminate the things you no longer wish to include in your life. Make sure your priorities are in order. Don’t forget about yourself as your whittle down your obligations. For example, if you have always wanted to take a crafting class, prioritize this in place of something you want to remove from your list of obligations. When you reassess your priorities, you suddenly have time for things like this.

OK – chew on those things for a bit…next time: making your home a sanctuary from the crazy world.
