I have come to a realization this past week. Why it has taken me so long to get here is a mystery, now that I am aware.
Multi-Tasking is dangerous to your Health!
How very busy all of our lives seem to be. I am always working on a "Self Imposed to Do List".
I was intent on staying In the Moment, Focused and Calm as well as multi-task at almost every given Moment.
As I felt the knot in in my stomach or the heart palpitation, I would stop for a brief second and re-focus myself....Calm, Breathe Meditate. Then right back to "Business at Hand".
The need this past week for an ultrasound (Abdomen) and feeling under the weather for the past three weeks gave me pause to look at how I was responding to the things presented to me on a moment to moment basis.
Through that observance, I have discovered that Multi-Tasking is the thing that definitely needs to go.
My life went like this....I am at work but part of me is elsewhere. I am at home and while doing one task I am thinking of the others or worse yet, doing three or four at the same time. I am out, supposedly to relax, and I am thinking of what is waiting for me to finish at home or at work.
I started to feel as if everything is being accomplished in fragments and quite truthfully, I was finding no Joy in anything that I was doing.
Yes, I did stay above water with my daily Meditations and spending time "In it, But Not of It". But it really was starting to feel VERY MUCH NOT RIGHT.
Then during one of my meditation sessions it became very clear to me. My Intent is to Honor and Bless each Moment. Multi-tasking is not congruent with this intent.
To Honor each Moment, I must be Present in it. Whether it be doing a load of laundry or meeting with a client. Clear and present in each Moment means Honoring the Action of the Moment and giving it the time it needs to be complete.
I knew this! I have always known this. Why did I forget? I realize that part of my forgetfulness is also a result of multi-tasking.
Where are my car keys?
Why did I walk into the kitchen?
What happened to the pair of shoes I wore yesterday?
Did I return that phone call?
Why is the milk under the sink and the dish soap in the refrigerator?
I am not losing it. I am not sick. (All the tests came back normal) I was afflicted with an ailment called "Multi-tasking". But no more.
My intent is to not only Honor the Moment, but to Honor the Action in that Moment and allow that action to receive my full Blessing....One action at a time.
My head feels clearer and my heart feels lighter already!
