You know how we’ve, especially women, prided ourselves on doing many things at once. We believe it’s the way that we get most of our tasks done. Yet, what can happen is our circuits burn out and we fry ourselves…yikes!
I remember a time in the 1970’s in my late teens and early 20’s, when I didn’t multi-task. I created all sorts of opportunities, and I knew these opportunities would come about. I didn’t know about the law of attraction, but I sure was good at it.
Thinking back on this, this was before I read books, before the Internet. It was just the pure feeling of thought that emanated from me that knew I could have what I wanted. And I had nothing that scattered this thought process. Fun was at the core of my experience, and thus, I made sure I had fun!
Bring on the Master of multi-tasking….
I created a different focus when I got married and then had my daughter, and all this pure thought energy went out the door, and I began to focus on fear and worry. In addition, I used to wear this title of “Queen of Multi-tasking,” and I flaunted it. I was the Master and I was intending to show others how to do it, and accomplish all the things to get done in a 24 hour period. Okay, even stretching the 24 hour period and wishing there were more hours in a day. Then get up and do it all over again, and again, and again.
So what happened to me……
I fried, not only my brain, but my entire being. I had such a meltdown that I left puddles everywhere. Remember, the Wizard of Oz, and Dorothy throwing water on the witch, and she melted into a puddle. Yup, that was me, and I’ve created many puddles until I learned that I can’t function in that sort of relationship where I’m plugged in for a moment, and then I’m off to plug into something else for another moment. And that pattern repeats itself. You can visualize this picture of me running all over trying to plug into a circuit, and then tripping the circuit breaker every time. Not fun, right?
When I first started my business, I “thought” I needed to create multiple streams of income because that’s what I heard, and I believed it. Thus, I was all over the place in taking courses, creating products, creating multiple websites, attending workshops, getting traffic to my site, coaching, promoting speaking engagements, network marketing….just thinking of it creates another puddle :).
What I know for sure is to focus on one thing that you feel passionate about, and do that well. And allow everything to flow from that one thing, and it does when you create an alignment with Source Energy, and you focus on feeling good. Then as you move along your journey, and you want to add something else, then it will be from a place of feeling good, and not a place of “I must do this in order to generate income.” The multiple streams of income open up as a result of being in vibration with oneself, not from the doing of things.
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear…..
I remember a wonderful teacher who came into my life to teach me about focusing on one thing. When I first started my business as a fun coach, I was also beginning to date, and many wonderful men came into my life as my teachers. One such man, Randy, gave me such profound advice when he said, “Focus only on one thing.” I didn’t listen to Randy as I wanted to retain my title of Queen of Multi-tasking. I’ve now come to appreciate Randy for the purpose he served.
With this said, as Deepak Chopra says, “We are moving from information age to wisdom age, and balancing the energy with feminine predominance.” All of this that I’ve mentioned above is an out of balance feeling and existence, and created a masculine dominance in me. And no wonder that chaos was created. Building relationships, especially with myself and Source Energy, is the foundation for me. From this way of being, everything flows, and it works magically!
Do like elephants do….
As we reclaim the feminine in us, we reclaim the relationships that we intend to have with ourselves and with everyone. Female elephants love to be in relationship with each other, and they love a best friend. Thus, we can learn from the elephants in returning to the offering of simplicity.
Stay focused on fun, and that which you feel passionate about. Then the alignment of money takes care of itself when you are vibrating predominance of bliss, fun, passion, laughter. This state of being opens up a vortex where the right relationships come to assist in your passion. And it happens because you are energy in motion (emotion) of pure bliss!
Thus, be in relationship with yourself and others, not to get anything from them, but just to be with them because it feels good, and it’s fun! And to quote Eileen Fisher, a fashion designer, “When you focus on the core, the bottom line takes care of itself.” What a great quote to follow.
Multi is short for multiple. Do we really want to create multiple tasks, and for what purpose? Because the more we focus upon something, the more it grows. Having said this, when we are focused on tasks, the tasks will continue to grow…it’s a law. Ever notice that when you think you have done everything on your task list, ten more items join the team, and it grows, and grows!
You know, the tasks are really not important. It’s the feeling that we embody when we do something. Thus, it’s pure thought energy that says, “I do this because it feels good to do it.” And that’s all the reason the Universe needs to send you more things to feel good about.
So just say no to multi-tasking, and you’ll quit trippin’…..your circuits, that is!
