Quit JAMMIN Me is the name of an old Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker's song. It came to mind just as I knew what I wanted to write about. (That by the way is proof of our genius always at work. Not sure you're a genius? Notice the way your mind/genius works perfect solutions and creativity even when you're not thinking about it - that's genius!).
Any how - I'm working on something big these days. Big for me. Here's the scoop. I toured a LOT from February through the end of April. Twenty-two cities and a couple different countries. I love touring, no doubt. But when my touring subsided and I got home knowing I could settle in - I began to notice something. Something I had forgotten.
Something I had disconnected from.
Something that was Jammin Me.
I began noticing that there was a deep, easy and peaceful feeling that resides within us - that all my touring had separated me from. Although I love touring, in hindsight, it takes a lot of pushing. It requires a lot of effort. And it jams your schedule so intensively that you begin to continually feel that there are LOTS of things that NEED to get done, pretty URGENTLY.
Sound familiar?
Back home, walking trails and swimming and hugging my girls - I began to get unjammed. And began to reconnect with this deep, peaceful, easy feeling that KNOWS that everything is OKAY and that ALL IN GOOD TIME and that there is TIME FOR ALL.
My world began slowing down. I can see flowers opening and closing for the sun.
I notice the blanket of stars above my head rotating ever so slowly.
Petting the cat takes no time away from needs.
Daydreaming is once again productive.
It is such an fulfilling feeling (one of mind, body and spirit working in harmony) that I am now questing for it. Curious to see how deeply and fully I can attain this feeling. And the great thing about this feeling is that the deeper into it you get, the easier it gets to get everything done while also enjoying yourself. Indeed, this feeling is VERY PRODUCTIVE. Working without tension is gliding to success. Working without fear is success assured. Working without scarcity is abundance guaranteed.
Yes, this deep easy feeling takes you straight to a feeling of true abundance and grace. It puts you at your best.
Instead of feeling jammed for time, you feel assured and okay.
Instead of feeling afraid of not getting the results you desire, you feel abundant because of a larger picture of success.
Instead of feeling under the pressure of the powers that be, you feel like the sun at the center of the galaxies.
So I am working on the deepest, most peaceful and easiest feeling I can achieve. This is how I am at the moment seeking the greatest day ever - and my highest, grandest level of success.
Namaste,
P
