Module 35: The Flow
Why You Procrastinate and How to Stop It
in A Year With Myself is a curiously
inspiring module. Well, for me anyway. And inspiring
is the right word for me to use here. Sometimes, perhaps due to the amount of
time I spend living my own little Life out here on my own, I discover I’ve lost
perspective on How Others Live.
I made up a “rule” for myself some years back which is: I won’t
spend more time thinking or talking about something than it takes me to START
IT, or even just DO IT. As a world-class worrier obsessed with recreating the
past, this “rule” has given me the traction to stay in Right Now, get my eyes
OFF that rearview mirror, and NOT imagine I have a crystal ball about what’s up
ahead round that next bend…
It was insightful to read about the rituals, routines, and creative
practises of the two instigators, Tia
Sparkles and Cynthia Morris.
It is refreshing and encouraging to see that their discoveries mirror my own in
many ways. I was reminded that there are as many paths to live Life on, none
really better or worse than another AS LONG AS THEY ARE WORKING FOR YOU…
In my Life I have pretty much eliminated the issue of
procrastination. I stay in this day and this moment. Since letting go of my car
in April, this has really made itself clear. So many things, having to BE
mindful about HOW A) I am going to get there to DO them, and B) get back home
again, quickly reveal their unnecessary-ness. Likewise, putting something OFF
that needs to BE done Now is no longer a luxury I can afford.
The larger picture from this module is how I see Life and my
place in it. There is Life and Currie’s Life. NOT necessarily intersecting. NOT
always on the same page. I never realised how much I forced MY WAY onto Life [as
well the people in mine]. When I “hit
the wall” in late March of this year, when I was “out of schemes and solutions,”
the idea popped into my mind about letting go of my car.
This was NOT even a consideration. NOT on my radar. Furthest
thing from my mind… and then, in a blink, it was The Answer For ME At This
Time. Everything, and I DO MEAN EVERYTHING shifted in that one moment. The way
it unfolded, the things it made possible, and the gift it is to me, a gift that
keeps on giving, these are things I never could have imagined part of Currie’s
Life.
So… I was deliciously delighted by this week’s Venture Maps. Connecting the Dots really sings to me. In particular:
Narrow
thinking keeps people within the imaginary boundaries of the box and stuck
dealing with the same old problems.
Creative
thinking goes outside the imaginary boundaries of the box and discovers
innovative ways of solving problems.
Are you faced with a lingering
problem in your life or your business that you could solve by thinking and
going outside your box?
I’ve found a way of living my Life that is way BEyond any
box I have ever constructed round myself or found myself living in. It’s definitely
in
The Flow…
