We all have a long to do list, and sometimes we need a little help. Too often we run around like chickens with our heads cut off, acting stressed out, when really all we need to do is sit down, breathe, and ask: “What is most important to focus on next?” You don’t even have to address this question to God – if you don’t believe in God. Just put it out there!
The Universe / God / Spirit / your guardian angel is always listening… always waiting… wondering when the hell you are going to ask for help! Ask for direction, ask for a sign, or ask for whatever. Just ASK!
When we are always feeling pressed for time, overwhelmed, and anxious, we can’t reach the high vibratory state that would allow us to see and feel that everything really is alright. In order to access that space – and that time – we need to offer it to ourselves first. We can’t wait until our boss grants us it, or our family grows up and moves out, or we get sick enough to finally sit still. We must take matters into our own hands. We must become our own diligent caregivers. And by that, I mean care for yourself. What a concept (I know). One of the most amazing things that happens when we do surrender ourselves over to “the invisible powers that be,” is that all of a sudden, for the first time in a long time, we start thinking about other people. We start wondering how they are doing, thinking of how we can help them, and sometimes we even spontaneously give them a call (without even texting first).
When we do so, we find this openness in our lives that wasn’t there before – this space to give of our time, our energy, and our resources. And it feels really amazing. In fact, it fills us up. This is why we ask the Universe what to do next. This is why we stop with our to-do’s, take a breath, and go within. Because when we do, we find ourselves uniting with what’s “without” in a far more meaningful, impactful, and present way than we ever did before.
