Hey Reader, Spring can feel like an explosion of energy… Social events, yard work and household projects, work projects, kids’ activities ramping up. If you’re not intentional, you’ll be lost in the sauce in no time at all. It is SO easy to get distracted by all the shiny objects that start coming your way once we have more daylight to actually see them😄. It’s kinda like looking at your phone immediately every time a notification comes in, or responding to email right away as they arrive in your inbox. It makes the rest of life a little inefficient. You start one thing, then get pulled away and it takes you longer to finish your thought than if you had just finished the one project before attending to the notification. Setting boundaries for yourself to help you focus on one thing at a time is actually how you’ll get more done in less time. The thing that makes it easier to keep those boundaries? Grounding. Settling. Centering. Dropping in. Whatever you want to call it, the practice of coming back to yourself is essential. When you activate your heart and connect it with your mind, you begin to act from your frontal lobe🧠 instead of your primitive brain🐒 that wants to keep you living in fear instead of love and trust. So if you’re already starting to feel the stretch of being pulled in a million different directions, find a reset you can use to find your rhythm once again. Perhaps it’s something like attending a class or the upcoming Awakening into Action Spring Rhythms Retreat, or perhaps you’re on a Spring Break getaway right now that’s helping you reset, or perhaps it’s something else that helps you tap into the energy of your heart. But whatever it is, find the rhythm that matters to you and let it keep you focused on one thing at a time, even when it feels like a million are coming at you. Until next time… Cheers, Cathy
