The secret to a juicy, creative life… (and healing the disease of “TOO MUCH”)

by Erin Owen | Feb 26, 2013 | Ezine

We all want to feel good in our bodies,

Free of stress and full of energy.

With a positive outlook and the sense that all is well.

This is what it feels like to live a juicy, creative life.

A life where your passion for your work is irresistibly attractive to others,

And generates the creative flow and prosperity you deserve.

But what gets in the way of feeling this way every day?

And how can you cultivate your own juicy, creative life?

When you’re overwhelmed by your responsibilities and time commitments,

Running from one thing to another without awareness of the big picture,

You lose perspective.

And when you forget to take care of yourself,

Not eating enough healthy foods, or taking enough time to breathe and move your body,

Failing to connect with yourself and the important people in your life,

Then you feel disconnected from life and what’s most important.

When you are disconnected and stuck in this rut of modern busy living,

You lack vision and creativity, you lose focus & productivity, your health and relationships suffer, and you under-perform at work.

And if you own your own business or run your own organization, then you see your financial metrics and customer/client retention factors under-performing.

So, how do you turn things around?

It begins with a clear, inspired idea of who you are

And the positive impact you want to have on the world.

Then, using that clarity about what you want,

Align each feeling, each thought, each spoken and written word, each decision, to support the immediate and exciting creation of your ideal life.

But, if you haven’t paused to look ahead,

If you’re not sure exactly who you are,

Or what you really want out of life,

Then it’s time to examine what is muddying your waters.

Most likely what’s getting in the way of this clarity is the disease of “TOO MUCH”

How do you know if you have the “TOO MUCH” disease?

• If your mind is busy, full of thoughts without end, and waking you with anxiety in the wee hours, then you have TOO MUCH going on.
• If you are feeling sluggish, carrying extra weight, and wishing you felt better in your body, then your body is holding on to TOO MUCH.
• If your calendar is jam-packed, with meeting after meeting, and no room between commitments to pause and reflect, then there is TOO MUCH in your schedule.
• If your desk is full of disorganized, scattered papers; if your bedroom is full of piles of laundry and odds & ends that need to be put away; if your house is generally in dis-array, then you have TOO MUCH stuff

Your busy schedule, your go-getter lifestyle, the fast pace at which you’re living life, leaves you no room to treat the “TOO MUCH” disease.

That means it’s time to clean house at every level. And this is THE best time of year to do so. Why?

Less than a month remains until Spring officially begins,

And as the hibernating “yin” quality of energy comes to an abrupt end,

As the powerful, uprising “yang” energy of new Spring life begins,

This time of year is THE time to dust out the cobwebs,

Weed the garden of your mind,

And clear away the sluggish congestion in your body.

It begins with your mind, then extends to your eating habits and your time commitments, and even your relationships. Then, of course, your home, your office, your computer files and email in-box, and even your car.
