Unplug to Recharge
More living OFFLINE! Increased Reflection and SELF-LOVE
Technology has improved lives in so many ways, however, it continues to lose its shimmer and appeal to me this Summer Season. Do you recall the last time you went to the beach? ocean? camping? lake? or favorite body of nature? When was the last time you prepared and executed an exquisite meal for yourself just to self-love and enjoy the unknown? What about a day trip of hiking or exploring? I’m curious did you tap in to your heart’s experience? How long could you savor the moment before posting to Facebook, Instagram or some other social media. I remember a simpler time when we informed another as to where we were going (and if I didn’t respond by xx then call in the troops or come looking for me).
Sharing my personal experience… For the most part, I find my essence being solo, but you may want to bring that special someone, children or animals, there is no “right” answer, just follow your heart. I generally locate my bliss in the beauty of spending time with myself and definitely OFFLINE. I then occupy the space to focus on my dreams in parallel notably enjoying the process (whatever wants to happen having no expectations, assumption or control agenda) I treasure trove that I have more time and that my mind is less “busy”. In this creative arena I develop into an intensely rooted presence while experiencing a lighter, calmer more balanced version of myself I name essence. Time away repeatedly provides reflection, a place to evaluate my results; where I’m making my “energy deposits” and if it remains a good investment of my energy.
Now, To be transparent, I am by no means a Technology Natzi, on the contrary; I actually love it!!! Without technology, I couldn’t have built my successful business(es) or connect with so many like-minded people. It’s such a gift! However, being a “virtual” gift means we need to create palpable ways to balance. Listening to the physical body is so critical to support this balance and inner wisdom.
My invitation is to investigate what local choices can you schedule (daily or weekly) to take time and savor the beauty of your own backyard. Are you willing to frame time to stop and smell the flowers… plan a long walk… re-connect with nature… turn on some great music… dance… read a book… cook… go for a bike ride… write a song or poem… draw… collage or craft… nap…. what is your heart’s true desire? What do you really want? These baby step will lead you to those answers. Start by establishing an impeccable agreement with yourself of when and how long your willing to unplug and recharge. Where will you make your bliss?
Much Love, Gina
Spend it ANY way you want, YOUR Choice – REALLY IT IS !!!
Claim YOUR time, it’s YOURS!!! Guilt FREE!!!
How does attachment take my time? What is attachment? Attachment to Money? Attachment to Spouse? Attachment to all those things I say I Need to do! There are many things we attach ourselves to unconsciously, which does not always allow us to manifest what we desire & want most. What if I asked you to create from a place of ENOUGH. Enough Time, Enough Money, Enough Food, Enough Love (I could go on here), but simply start at “Creating from Enough” without allowing your attention to wander to the past or the future.
So, coming from a place of “I have no time” what are you talking about? I have to get up early get the kids out the door, or maybe it’s “I need to drop my spouse of at work because we only have one car right now?!” or maybe the excuse is well “If I stop doing and start being then I’ll be bored” or maybe there’s a story of “I’ll be alone” or worse maybe “I’ll be alone with nothing to do” not much curiosity or presence in those statements, just a bunch of fear based induced conclusions!
Starting from ENOUGH consciously brings experience in the present. Check in right now and bring awareness to what YOUR doing in this moment, Are you being fed or drained? When you begin to experience claiming YOUR time, standing right here in the “NOW” having nothing to do with the circumstances around you; and not allowing thought to take you out of your experience it’s a completely different experience and often brings gifts and surprises!
I can attest that I feel more on track when claiming my time, it’s MINE!!! I can share that some of my other obligations that actually bring me more revenue, but coming from a place of ENOUGH I don’t NEED revenue, I have everything I need. It’s a very special commitment to self. I can choose to create more not because I need to, but because I want to.
Pay close attention, listen deeply and notice how excited and fueled with everything you do from that place of enough-ness! Know that you are being fueled by trust rather than fear and now spreading a contagious level of inspiration to all those around you to want the same.
We no longer need excuses to not go out with a friend, call in sick, not clean the house. We don’t need another story to enjoy the time we want to see what experience can happen from that place of “I have enough Time” That everything is and will be alright if I take care of myself first. Even in the airplane, you put the oxygen mask on 1st before placing on your child, but what if you never needed the oxygen system? — Are you ready to commit to having enough time? Take it even a step further… Are you willing to Having enough of everything and witness the difference of the experience coming from this place? “Everything you want is on the other side of fear” — Rumi
