If you don’t know, lie to yourself or make yourself the prisoner of time, you have deadlines. The name says it all: by the time you finish, you are dead. Deadlines are a perception or interpretation of delivery dates that makes them artificial, aggressive, rigid and often downright insane. Few industries truly need this. Newspapers were one of the industries were deadlines were part of the trade, but even they are disappearing today. However, our entire culture has an addiction to deadlines and often creates unnecessary stress pushing towards these constructs. As we talked in Day 2 about Rushing, if you create good systems and manage your time well, you can honor delivery dates without [Read more.]

6 Elements of Stressful Living-Day 5: Povertizing

Reading Time: 4 minutes 6 Elements of Stressful Living and how to Live and Work Stress Free: Day 5: Povertizing This is a series of six articles. Get Day 1: Pushing here. Get Day 2: Rushing here. Get Day 3: Dutifying here. Get Day 4: Judgment here.   Povertization is the act of creating the conditions by which a sector of a population –let’s say women– are and stay poor. Povertizing yourself as I use it in this series has to do with learned limiting beliefs that come out of your own early –or cultural– experience with money and that keep you from achieving financial freedom. It is one of the most powerful and pervasive forms of stress in one’s life and work. Povertizing is the secret denial of money, wealth and financial freedom that we embed in our priorities, choices, interpretations and practices. Povertizing may take the form of splitting what you love to do from how you earn your money, so that you have to work more to get money. It may take the form of not maximizing the income you can [Read more.]

Is this your biggest flaw?

Reading Time: 3 minutes Is this your biggest flaw? Are you so scared of not being perfect that you are pushing your allies away?   I know a woman who is extraordinary. She single-handedly accomplishes every year achievements beyond what most others do in a lifetime. She complains that she does everything with great effort, alone, without support. But here’s what she does not WANT to know: Her biggest flaw is that she does not want to have flaws. When anyone points a mistake to her, she gets outraged. For her, that is the same as threatening her identity. So she attacks the person relentlessly. Anything the other person says becomes in her eyes an attack, so she defends herself. The truth is that she is the one doing the attacking. Every time she believes she is being attacked, she is just being told something that she is not seeing and that —if she would let it in, would solve her problems. But instead, she sees that critique or observation as an attack on her identity. Why? Because she believes that in order to [Read more.]

Wake up Sleeping Beauty!

Reading Time: 7 minutes Too many people are asleep in a trance and the worst part is that they don’t know it. There are four instances when our fears or habits send us in a trance: Fear to see or know the truth Avoidance of pain Resistance to change and need to be in control Resistance to go deeper, to go beneath ordinary reality into the soul, emotions and spiritual realms of being Let’s take a look at each one, and let’s switch genders in the examples, because Sleeping Beauty Syndrome is not just a woman’s issue.

Meditation: Responding vs Reacting

Reading Time: 2 minutes Monday Meditation Are you reacting or responding?   Are you feeling like an emotional roller-coaster? An erupting tornado? Are you defending your emotions while a loved one is telling you that it is causing chaos, pain or confusion for them? After all you have a right to feel what you feel, right?  If they want you to change what you are feeling, isn’t that invalidating you?   Yes, you have a right to your emotions. No, you are NOT your emotions, and if they are causing grief to others, they may also be causing grief to yourself. Becoming conscious and channeling your emotions does not invalidate you. It empowers you. But what does that even mean?   What emotions are and what they do Emotions are electromagnetic waves of energy carrying responsive or reactive potency as a response of thoughts or situations.

Because these waves are magnetic, they attract allies, resources [Read more.]
