Living at such a hurried pace can often seem exhausting. However, it doesn’t have to be.
It is possible to do all things we do and still be calm and centered. Imagine yourself having a breakthrough in your practice: “Wow! I’ve never done that before!” or “So THAT’S what standing bow feels like!”
How do you achieve that on a daily level? What happens when you’re struggling or get distracted in class?
How do you stay focused on your tasks when there is a constantly shifting demand for your time and attention? It’s all about keeping your flow and opening your energy channels.
In Getting Things Done, David Allen (the author) talks about achieving a “zen state” in all tasks. Imagine if everything you did made you feel like you’ve done Bikram Yoga!
The key is to get out of your head. Write it down, email it to yourself, or put it in your PDA. It doesn’t really matter what system you use, as long as it’s a system YOU trust. If you can simply focus on what you’re doing now, in the moment, you’ve already made progress.
