I had a wonderful discussion with the lovely Molly Carlile the other day, miraculously it wasn't about death, instead we talked about time.
Molly has been highly active talking about death this year, publishing a book called "Sometimes Life Sucks" that helps teenagers deal with death and doing radio, tv and a lot of conference and speaking gigs spreading her DeathTalker message.
I was interested in how she was fitting so much in, when time seems to be flying so fast.
She went on to describe how when she was writing her book it would seem like hours had passed but when she looked at the clock, she still had heaps of the day left. It was like something magic had stopped the hands on the clock while she wrote.
It was sage advise and even though I haven't been as out there as Mz Molly this year, as I looked back I found her words to be true - if I loved it, then it got done and when I look back a lot has been accomplished.
Then when I thought about it more, all the successful people I know who seem prolific in what they do, actually do a lot. Its like that old saying states: "if you want something done, give it to a busy person".
But you just can't be busy for the sake of it to get the time thing happening = you have to be what I call "happy busy". You have to be taking focused actions on projects and topics you are passionate about, love spending time on and could talk about in your sleep (and frequently do!)
I'm assuming you love the work you do - please if you don't love it then go find something that does make your heart sing because life is too short to spend most of it on the hamster wheel. Even if you love it but aren't quite getting the results yet - so long as you are taking the right actions you are getting close to where you want to be.
So if you love what you do and want to make a difference in 2011 - what needs to be done in the last two months of 2010 is to focus on your business and get your planning done for 2011.
Get eager and excited about 2011 NOW!
Exhale on Boxing Day. These last two months of the year are the time to fully embrace your business and be ready and good to go after the holidays. It you don't do it know you will be really behind when the new year begins ,,, mid Feb!
I'm running several teleclasses that will leap start you if you do them now - a time when we tell ourselves we are too busy with holiday preparation.
Details of the teleclasses are on my website
If you are busy learning and planning and getting ready for 2011, that busyness around your practice is bound to stir up some busyness in your diary at a time when most report going quiet.
The "going quiet" doesn't have to be a fact. If you think it will be quiet, that is what you will create. But if you think its going to be your best month ever and set about creating energy that affirms those thoughts - you will find yourself pleasantly surprised.
This time of year is one of the most stressful times for most people and a time when they really need to keep their stress levels down and their health and wellbeing on track. You might as well be the energy source they find to help them.
Hope to help you stretch a bit of time in the coming weeks!
