Slow Down to Speed Up!

Slow down to speed up!
What does this mean?

In the past month or so, I found myself beginning to add more and more to my daily To Do list, found myself multi-tasking more and more and had moments of feeling that I was 'spinning my wheels'.

Whoa, this was not working for me, so what to do?

Multi-tasking over long periods of time causes excessive stress. Many, if not most of us, find we are multi-tasking constantly. Now as time 'seems' to be speeding up, we have a need to learn the skill of multi-tasking. We can actually train the brain to channel energy so we can accomplish more in less time, but it takes practice.

Following is taken from an article by Ron Knaus, Multi-tasking, slow down to speed up.) I highly suggest that you read his whole article (click on the blue link).

"When you’re performing multiple tasks that require your undivided attention, your brain gets overloaded, as it can only process information from one channel at a time. Therefore, do not multi-task if the assignment requires your full attention. Once that urgent or detailed task is complete, then you can go back to doing the other tasks you normally do. This step will save you lots of rework, as you’re more prone to make mistakes when your brain is overloaded."

Slowing down helps us to connect with our inner power, our soul power. This is when we can best receive clarity, creativity and light/energy.

Watch an olympic runner. He or she has efficiency of movement, is obviously in control of the situation and moves with intensity - totally focussed.

As this is a holiday weekend, try to slow down just for just a few hours. You may get the mental, physical and emotional rest you need. You will drive more safely and be more connected with your family and friends.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
