Lesson 152: Take Your Time

If we take our time in clearing efforts, it creates a sense of ease and fluidity. It doesn’t become such a chore and a natural flow falls into place. This can take time or practise or you might feel this instantly.

I know when I decide to do a big clean, I’m just focused on the one task before I move onto the next. Even if the first task takes longer than normal, I’m always going at my own pace and not in a rush. I find I am a lot calmer this way and keep telling myself to get it done in my own time.

I find that I don’t only apply this to clearing efforts but simple tasks like walking to work every day. I don’t rush myself, take my time and am aware of my surroundings. This came about when I visited a councillor to manage my anxiety and the advice given was to be more in the moment. If you aren’t rushing, then you aren’t adding any more pressure or stress on yourself to get where ever you need to be on time. Sometimes I think it’s just more careful planning that allows more fluidity.

What ways have you brought about ease in your clearing efforts or every day life?
