Like most everyone, I feel pulled in many directions most of the time, and having more than one job isn't helping the confusion. Luckily, I have my yoga, which helps me with the complexity of life, but I do find myself wondering, AM I MISSING SOMETHING?? With the many tools I have for simplifying life, could I be doing a better job?
So by habit, I first put on my Zen hat. I take the deep breaths and remember to 'let go' on the exhale of everything that isn't serving me at present- the anger, resentment, jealously, confusion, etc. I feel my shoulders relaxing, my breath lengthening, and my neck releasing. Next, I put on my coach hat. I try to separate out what's most important and break it down into bite sized pieces. I start a list for the day (and yes, blogging is on my priority list) based on goals I revisit regularly. By then, at least I'm feeling a little more focused. I'm curious to know if everyone functions as I do- that once I have things scheduled, written, and planned for, I'm confident they will be accomplished.
Perhaps regularly asking the question - could I be doing a better job? - is a healthy exercise for all of us although there's a risk of judging ourselves too harshly. I'm reminded of what I always tell my students. "Get help for the tasks that you don't do well yourself." In the end, you will save yourself more than time and money.
