#248: Take the Pressure Off

In this Friday Facts episode, I am sharing my thoughts on the pressure valve that we create for ourselves.  Pressure is a normal part of being a human.  We all have deadlines and we have times that require more push than others. But this doesn’t have to be nor should it be an extended period of push and pressure time.  There are times that it is important to take the pressure off. This was inspired by a reading in Melody Beattie’s Journey to the Heart. 

In today’s episode we discuss:
1) Intense pressure doesn’t get the job done any faster or better.  It tends to make us more tense or fearful and does not allow any creative juices to flow. This energy also takes us out of the present moment which stops our own flow of life and energy.  Typically this amount of pressure actually creates so much noise in our own head that we can't hear our own intuition, guidance or heart.

2) The most difficult and urgent decisions are best made when we are rested, in the present moment and not spiralling with all the things that can potentially go wrong. We cannot force ourselves to move faster, think faster and be efficient all at the same time. The more pressing the situation, the more present we need to be for ourselves and for the present moment or situation.

3) Learn to let off some steam, release the pent up emotions, and let the answers come to you in the most easy and beautiful way.
