Frustrated with those distractions and Energy Zappers (EZs)?

What does one do about them?

Well first and foremost you MUST identify what they are for you. They are different for each of us, but they have the same effect, they take the good energy out of us.

The distractions are little/manageable things.....they are fairly easy to get rid of. But the EZs, those can be another story. They are more serious and they carry more weight in the "getting us off our direct path to success" journey. 

Once you've identified the distractions and Energy Zappers, make a firm commitment to dump AS MANY AS YOU CAN. Do it immediately. Either do 'em (clean a closet, make a call) or dump 'em (move 'em out). Just by reducing some of the distraction drag...you'll feel lighter and more easy on your path.

With the EZs, set some boundaries, set limits, have conversations with them and be aware of what the tradeoff is for you in not removing them. These take more time, and they may take some help - call a friend or work with a coach to assist you in making the changes in your world.

There's a great tool I've been working with lately from Mark Joyner, the founder of Simpleology (the sale is fairly hardcore, but I swear, the free software is tremendous - so get over it!) It is a web-based program that is great for helping to get clarity around what you want, why you want it, how to get it and how to keep yourself VERY focused so that you are using your good energy to achieve what you want. There's a wonderful 20 part online course that goes with the software. Don't skip it, it's clever and fun. 

AND it helps with dumping the distractions and limiting the EZs, because you quickly become aware of how you are spending your time and where you are putting your focus.

Give it a whirl if you are so inclined and let us know what you think!

Onward......

It is a glorious monday morning, filled with ample possibility for a wildly successful and productive day. There's clarity, focus and direction - I've made sure that's there, so it should work - right?? 

Well yes, of course, I have a great plan.....and yet.....moment by moment there are little nagging distractions that take me away from that clarity, focus and direction. And they pop up all the time. 

Here's a partial list - we all have our own....

phone
email
websurfing
eating
stuff on the desk
thoughts that come up
feelings that start surfacing
good weather
bad weather
family

What happens when any of these distractions pop up? Well mostly they throw us off our path, sometimes the distraction leads us to something great, and even better, but often they slow us down in whatever direction we're headed. I sometimes think that the distractions are helping all to become ADD. (think about it, it was much easier to focus when there were fewer distractions - remember the 50's? teehee.....)

Right now, today, I'm going to think about what ALL my distractions are. Then I'll think about how to dump 'em, or move 'em away.

What about you?

We spend so much of our time being distracted. It's normal, but it's not necessarily the best thing for operating at optimal energetic and vibrational levels.

The quickest way to get anything done is to stay focused on the task, get rid of the distractions and be present for the work. Not always easy, and just by seeing how many of us don't get our work done in a way that we're happy with, we can often use some help in getting better at this simple system.

One great way to start developing your "get it done" energy, is to be aware of being fully present for situations in your life. When was the last time you remember being fully engaged, tuned in, without distraction, for something? What did it feel like? How did it work for you?

Being present is a GREAT energy booster. Once you are there - in a state of presence - and then you come out of it, you will have gained two things. The first is the power of being completely present/focused on what you are experiencing which feels amazing....even if it hurts emotionally. The second outcome is that your energy will be raised when it is over, remember how you felt after the last thing you remember being fully present for?

Try it - you'll be amazed.

How is it that asking for help can serve to increase our energy? 

It's all about the "come from".....asking with an open heart, listening fully to the answer, being and showing gratitude and offering compliments and thanks to the person who gives you an answer.

When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, to truly ask and truly receive, our energy will shift....and so will the energy of the person who was helpful to us.

When was the last time you asked for real help? What happened? How did you feel? 

Think about asking for help the next time you need an energy boost, you'll be surprised at what happens.
