Stop Doing Anything To Be Supper Productive

2020 has given us a lot to take in and naturally none of us like waking up to bad news day in and day out. It's worrying and unsettling.
🌹🌷🌸
But I've also shared in the past, the importance of using this time as an opportunity to either start fresh or to finally work on your goals.. seize the opportunity and not stay stagnant as time continues to fly by!
I'm all about being productive, yet at the same time I do think it is useful to take breaks or give yourself a moment of 'rest' from time to time in order to go further. Especially right now, as much as we may be scrambling to stay on top of things, it's good to allow yourself to feel and understand what is going on around you.
In a strange way, not progressing may be its own form of productivity! Something fruitful is happening, and we’re not controlling it. Reflect and ask yourself how can I allow myself to be changed?Not, how should I change. Or how must I change to keep up with a changing world. And certainly not, how can I not change and preserve the way things have always been.
Can you find the emotional courage to follow your inklings, step by step, toward what, even just maybe, feels right?
We all need emotional courage because being willing to be changed means we must accept and admit that we are not in control and we don’t know.
So How Can We Slow Down And Take An Intentional Break?
I'm sure some of you have tried meditation, walks, journaling etc. But these things can also get in the way because they reflect more doing. It’s trying to solve the problem with the same thinking that created it.
Instead, you can try relaxing pressure on your time, your thinking and your relationships.
Walk away from your calendar. Leave that space for, literally, nothing.
Let your mind wander. When you go for a run, don’t listen to a podcast or even music, just run.
If you need a break from seeing people, allow for that. And if you do want to be with people, try doing it with curiosity and vulnerability, without wasting effort performing.
When you relax the demand on your time, your thinking, and your relationships, you’re slowing down, reducing the load, and leaving space for feelings to come up. Trust that something important is happening — that there is something good on the other side — even if you don’t know what. You can’t force it.
And hopefully at the end of your 'break', you'd have found something worth being productive over. A new goal? A new challenge? A new career path?
Cheers,
Leon
