Radio Show: INTEGRITY is forever!
Success may come and go...but INTEGRITY is forever. Enjoy this weeks show with my special guest Janet Henze as we talk about leadership of self, balance and authentic power.
Sometimes staying right where you are is the best plan...
Is it just me or is there a vibration of discontent, dis-ease, irritability and even a feeling of almost being caged and a desire to run going on with people right now?
I am normally a very grounded and fluid individual and I'm even feeling it. This unsettled, missing out on something...Like that nagging feeling you've left something on back at home? What is it and how do we deal with it? Everything and everyone seems to be speeding up at a dramatic pace, especially in the city. Yet there is this draw to calm down and enjoy life again. A question of what does it all mean and what is it for keeps coming to the lips of people I'm working with. There seems to be a consciousness about to shift.
I've always found that the more I am frantically trying to do or go somewhere the more I need to stop and stand right where I am, get present in the moment and enjoy all that is around me. Enjoying my surroundings as simple as birds singing in the morning daylight or the sound of the trees whistling as wind flows between the leaves. Get present and connect, connect to the nature around you, and if you don't have any--find some!
Same rule applies if you are faced with many challenges and options. Jumping in any direction can end badly if it is a fearful side making your decisions for you. Staying right where you are, as uncomfortable as it can be, is often the most empowering position to take. Get calm and present into "what is" right now and then weigh all your options, choose from a place of power and possibility instead of jumping in fear to avoid the discomfort of what is going on. And if it is a flood of challenges you are faced with right now, choose the next logical step. After all, if you've ever found yourself caught in a riptide or in big surf just off the shore you don't fight your way through it. Instead you relax in the rhythm of the ocean and when you feel strong and have a clear direction you make a move. Do the same in your life and soon you will be enjoying the view from the shore and not struggling in the surf anymore.
