Have you ever set out an action plan for yourself to reach your goals and the harder you try the more difficult it seems to get there? When I was younger we used to say “The hurrier I go the behinder I get!”

The mistake we make when trying to make changes and improve ourselves is that we think an ACTION plan is all we need and then we are all set. We think willpower, blood, sweat and tears is the formula for personal change. We think to reach our goals we have to work hard: “No pain, no gain.”

What we don’t realize is that the notion of an “action plan” is at the root of the problem. We think that to reach our goals the first thing we have to do is to DO something. We continue to get stressed out which of course sabotages all our “hard work” to achieve harmony at home, health and fitness, improved efficiency or whatever it is that we are working towards. What we do not realize is that the first thing we need to do is to relax, clear our minds and be still before we can be friendly, healthy and efficient! Stillness gives you the opportunity to reflect before you DO.

I took up Tai Chi earlier this year and besides the pure joy of the movement itself, the greatest lesson that I have learned is the benefit of quieting my mind and focusing on breathing and meditation as the foundation for creativity and achievement. I am learning to bring that mindfulness into the rest of my week and reaching my goals seems to be falling in to place. I would recommend it!

My wish is that we can all make time for stillness and reach all of our goals!

“Learn to be still”
The Eagles

Have a great week.
Lisa
