Here’s some kickers that might ring true for you: You’ve got to make lists, set deadlines, map it out, make it happen. Aint nothin’ gonna go down unless it’s in your daytimer/Blackberry/iPhone. I what? Exactly. Where’s the ‘I’ in all of that? Or rather, where’s the ‘you’?
You’ve got the master plan. You’ve got the blueprint. It’s not in your day timer/Blackberry/iPhone. Your best, most brilliant and beautiful life is beyond all that. It’s in grace. Stay with me here.
Grace doesn’t live in a palm-sized computer. Grace doesn’t live in a to-do list. Grace lives in freedom, in flow, in liberty–in the exhilaration of living in the moment.
Yes! It is possible to feel this way while working. Yes! It is possible to feel this way pretty much all the time. And yes! It is possible to get a whole lotta stuff DONE while feeling it.
You were born to.
The intuitive mind gets grace. It gets that stuff’s gotta be done. But it also gets that, sometimes, what needs to be done isn’t what we think.
attention high achievers. ever feel overwhelmed + confused? kinda stuck? how to tap your instincts + get back in the flow

You’re absolutely right. In the last few years I have started jotting out goals with “big” ideas like getting a Master in this field…or working for N. clients. I just created the big picture without too many details and set an internal deadline …was very focused when I wrote things done and then I let it go…that is I go through my days doing my best but without stressing out to reach those goals and enjoying life trying to build a balance between work, fun and social life, and time for myself…and there you go…slowly things fall into pieces: I get some goals..and somehow even the others slowly start building up and shaping. It’s usually about having faith in it and then acting but without “pushing” too much. And it will all happen, or and the universe will even surprise us!

Love this – keep the to-do lists bare and simple. And let flow take care of the rest. ” The overwhelmed mind doesn’t work properly; stress has a negative, function-impairing effect on our brain.” Yes, yes, yes!
Love this and as I look at very overflowing to do list, just the reminder I need.
