Soooo much is happening this week.
Isn’t it supposed to be vacation here in the US?
Hmmm. Stressful thought: I have too much to do. There’s too much happening. My schedule is too full. Too too too.
We’ll talk about that in a minute.
Meanwhile, I apparently MUST tell you first (when I believe there’s so much to do, then checking it off the list becomes my reaction) that this coming Friday July 7th, I’ll be doing one of my favorite open webinars again: Ten Barriers That Can Keep The Work From Deepening.
Super helpful points for those of you that find your process in The Work confusing, stuck, or meh. Sign up HERE and watch your Inbox for the link to the program. We meet 7/7 from Noon-2:00 pm PT.
If you’ve been doing The Work, or trying to get started, this webinar may really help you cut through a little fog.
At the end of the robust 90 minute course (I’ll try to keep it to 75 mins but if you have great questions, it will go longer) you’ll have some clear exercises to continue with, and a downloadable handout especially made for this webinar immersion class that summarizes each barrier.
In the Friday Webinar, I’ll also explain the basics of Year of Inquiry, the program beginning September 2017. I’m stunned this year to find that people are already enrolling before Summer Camp For The Mind even has begun. (Summer Camp is great for people testing out telesessions to see if it’s right for you: you can still join HERE).
No one HAS to be a part of the live telesessions in YOI–there’s so much to gain from the two retreats, the monthly Intro webinars and listening to recordings plus our private place to share written work which is super cool–but you’ll get the feel of the live telesessions if you’re in Summer Camp and you can decide if they support your investigations in your stressful beliefs.
People can join SCFTM (Summer Camp for The Mind) until Tuesday, July 11th. Yes, we’ve got Opening Day today 7/5 OR Opening Day tomorrow 7/6 but both of these will be recorded (the only recordings all summer) and if you listen soon, you’ll be ready to join any daily call starting July 12th
Meanwhile, about the non-stop scheduling of webinars, telesessions, solo sessions, groups, meetings, emails, administration.
That “too much to do” thought.
Remember that one?
Holy Smokes.
It’s true.
Really, though? Can you be absolutely sure?
No.
I’m still breathing, eating, pausing, spending time with my kids yesterday (it was my adorable son’s 23rd birthday).
How do you react when you think you have too much to do?
Resentful. Serious. Making lists. Checking things off. Worried.
Who would you be without your story of too much to do?
This can be about working, hosting an event, getting ready to travel, visiting the post office, cleaning.
Who would you really be without this thought?
Pause.
Breathe.
I’d be stillness, simply here. Letting everything go, before bed. Not dreaming of the next thing, or the next, or the next day.
I do not have too much to do. My thinking has too much to do. Too much to do has me.
Could these be just as true? Or truer?
Yes. Oh yes.
So let’s stop, and rest, and be with this moment here. Not the one at the end of the doing.
Deep breath again.
