The Tendency To Get Too Busy To Live Your Life...

Hi There, Ladies and Gents!

I haven't written to you all in a while, so apologies for that!

The truth is I'm still here. Things are ticking over, in a manner of speaking! So what have I been up to and why have I been so quiet?

Well, I moved house a couple of months ago. There's much tiredness and stress that goes along with that process, as we all know.

The baby started Nursery - Yay more free time - not as yet! We need to settle into the routine first, which would have been a whole lot easier, if he did not have a cold, then an ear infection a week later... I think you get the picture. 

In all the going's on, the habit of sticking my head in the computer, as it were, and researching, posting etc has just up and vanished. 

I guess the habit was tied largely to my previous residence and I have not re-established it here. That is changing from tonight. This house is even more conducive to getting work done, so I will re-establish my love for spilling my inner thoughts to you all. 

The other factor is that I guess I got too busy with my life to live my life, in terms of my blogging etc. I have been out and about more and the love life has taken a turn in a positive direction - for a change!! Lol. For that I am truly grateful.

After the move and the emotional ups and downs, it's time to re-evaluate, re-focus and make sure that I do certain things that I enjoy, that will help me to progress as a person and in life.

The moral of the story: Never get so busy with life, that you stop living it the way you desire.

Well, it feels good to be back.

Wishing you all peace and love,

Do BE Do BE Do - Getting Things Done While Being Mindful: Personal Life Coach Tips

TO DO Lists help us to remember important tasks that need to be done. List making is a great tool for focus and efficiency that I recommend as a personal life coach, and I want to acknowledge all the list makers in the world. Lists really do help with productivity! But have you noticed that these To Do Lists can become ever-present in our minds and thoughts? We may find ourselves wondering what we've forgotten to Do, what we need to Do next, and what tasks need to be added to the list? It can become important to not let our To Do Lists take over and become unforgiving task masters!

What would it be like if we were to create, and be vigilant about, a TO BE List, a mindful living list? Such a list might include these: Be Present; Be Compassionate; Be Peaceful; Be Joyful; Be Alert; Be Grateful; Be Accepting; Be Playful; Be Curious; Be Patient

A To Be List is not a list to check items off, the way we mark things DONE on a To Do List, because BEING is never "done". In fact, you could use the same To Be List every day, and it would never become obsolete. Its purpose is to clarify our intentions for HOW to BE, NOW, rather than to evaluate past performances. Our To Be List reminds us of the choices we have every moment and inspires us to always be our best selves. In the words of the late Coach John Wooden, "It isn't what you do, but how you do it."

Choosing How to BE is perhaps more subjective than choosing What to DO. And, it's more powerful in terms of quality of life. For example, charging ahead on a To Do List frequently results in feeling rushed and overwhelmed, not enjoying the actual doing. In my work as a Spiritual Life Coach, my clients find that being mindful is the key to enjoyment. (And being mindful is also a key to greater productivity, but that's a different topic I will write about later!)

In consciously choosing a state of Being like BE Alert, you are more likely be surprised and enriched as you notice things unnoticed before. Choosing to BE Compassionate, many ordinary conversations become rich and meaningful.

Are you ready to really ENJOY Getting Things Done? After all, you'll be doing things on your To Do List anyway, right? I suggest that you put your TO BE List right next to your TO DO List, where you can see both, or even have them on the same page. Then, whenever you decide on the next thing to do, ask yourself "How will I BE as I DO this?" as you select from the To Be List.

For example, if you need to contact a company about an error in your order, how do you want to be as you do it? Open? Relaxed? Understanding? Clear? Patient? If laundry is next, how do you want to BE as you do the laundry? Calm? Mindful? Playful? Curious?

I hope you have fun with this To Be List mindfulness practice. It's easy to remember. Just sing, "Do BE Do BE Do... "

And one more important personal life coach tip: Things like "BE productive" or "BE perfect" violate the spirit of the To Be List. BE careful how you choose to BE!

Oprah Winfrey on Letting Go and Surrendering

Thoughts become reality. 

Oprah talks about her journey in reading the book 'The Colour Purple', her strong desire to be in the film of the same title and how the Universe enabled this to come to pass.

She explains when you have done everything you can to achieve your goals and you can do no more, then surrender to the universe, 'give it up to the flow' and it will come to pass.

God always has a bigger, better plan/ hope/ dream than any of us could ever have for ourselves.

I have always admired Oprah, and the values that she stands for, so I hope you enjoy this footage as much as I do. Feel inspired......
