Leaf Blowing Lessons
Like the Fall leaves that blow all over our yards, we can often get blown around by our thoughts.
Have you ever been looking for the answer to something, and you say to yourself, “I'm just going to look this up real quick on the Google”... and before you know it, you've gone down some sort of rabbit hole that now has you scrolling on some social media site — and you're left wondering, “How did I get here?”
You started to kind of follow those “blowing leaves” wherever they were going, and in the process you were just being taken wherever that “wind” blew you. Instead of setting your sail and directing and staying the course for what you intended, you were just getting blown all over the damn place.
Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about creating and showing up with focused energy and sustained effort.
So instead of trying to “multi-task” a bunch of stuff, we approach things with intentional direction and purpose. When we train ourselves to “single-task” and stick to one thing at a time until it’s fully accomplished, we experience a sense of reward.
This is also applicable when it comes to the transformation process, change work or personal development. If we encounter steps that feel overwhelming, breaking them down into manageable focused tasks can be wicked helpful - to both us and our nervous system.
Whether you're creating a new habit or breaking an old one, working on some healing or spiritual growth - there's something super powerful about focused energy and sustained effort and good news is, we can choose that path on our journey of change!
