Sacred Cow #3 – Turning Off the Drama

The economic waters are pretty turbulent lately. And if the Status Quo has it’s way you’ll completely buy into the fear. You read the current headlines and ask yourself, “Is it really possible that we are are ultimately heading in a new direction towards greater peace and prosperity?”

You may be putting a lot of pressure on yourself to keep going, pushing, doing something – anything. However, before you work yourself into a frenzy, it may be more helpful to take some time and allow yourself to stabilize and gain your bearings.

Time to Take a Chill Pill

One way to explain what’s happening is to think of the process of change as a bowl of Jell-O. If you keep stirring it up, it won’t form properly. So it’s important to learn how to chill a little, so to speak. Times of stress require a commitment to take breaks and get your mind off of work, regularly.

Sacred CowWith that idea in mind, let’s release the collective contract behind some of the stress we’re experiencing via Wall Street, the media and the politicians. Today’s Sacred Cow is:

“Keep the fear going by fueling it with speculation, uncertainty and psychodrama.”

 

When our minds and bodies are kept under continual stress, we are like the Jell-o that won’t set. We are more susceptible to illness, paranoia, misinformation, fantasies and accidents. Tipping this Sacred Cow will calm down the external noise a bit. Then finding some time to rest and still your mind will be a tremendous help in being able to see the situation from a new perspective.
