Detoxifying your life

It is important for us to pause in our hectic life.  We all know that but we can’t. This is for two reasons:

1.  We have too much work

2.  We are afraid to have to live without work.

However work of the nature that we do that is for money, is contaminating one’s spiritual body.  It makes us less serene, less sure, less in faith , more insecure, more tense, more anxious and more dependent on fruits. 

That is why we need to get out of the rat race once in a while.  Not only in form of paid leave.  No because that is the part of the package of the rat race.  Instead we must just let the whole thing drop for a while. 

today i just had the most wonderful nap.  I was filled with millions of stars of bliss in my upper body.  My mind is calm and worries of work have just vanished.  Faith has taken over fully. 

When i started by management consulting career in Nepal, i had faith.  I just knew i would make it.  Then i had not earned so much to be afraid of what next.  An innocent vanity was around me.  But afterwards the greed takes over.  That is when you need to stop and re-look at what you in your business for. 

Any form of contamination is not good.  Greed is certainly not good for a trainer and motivator like me.  Not greed but passion drives people like me.  I had to re-find that again.  And guess what? i get to make those re-connection once every three months, which is the duration of my super-busy days, usually followed by a month of slow business. 

At these times of less paid work i just bask in the emptiness of existence.  Sunbathing is like a toy car compared to this basking in emptiness i am talking about. 

I just forget everything and remember first all the people that i owe my success so far.  I call them up and thank them. 

Next i rethink where to take my business.  I am a one-man-army now.  It is boring at times but i think it is cool.  One day i’ll find my group. 

So it all comes down to putting a break in your life. 

The only problem how tough it is.  To tell you frankly, you can’t stop your success and live to create it again uless you:

PROGRAM YOUR SUBCOUSCIOUS MIND TO CREATE OASIS OF FREE TIME IN YOUR CAREER

When i was in Singapore, people said that even if someone came back from a holiday and they were all re-charged, the busy tempo of work life and family life, will wear it out in a week or maximum a month. 

But the charging time i am talking about does not cost you thousands or much time off.  All it requires is a mental holiday, a spiritual meca visit. 

On a saturday just let it all off. I mean your drive.  Then let yourself be taken over my laziness, proscastination, browsing then net, and similar non-alcoholic or non-nicotine and certainly non-drug bad habits.  Once they have had their share, just shrug them off, wash them away. 

The next step is to revisit your visions, and mission.  Have you deviated a lot?  Do you need to set new visions and mission?  What strategies worked? What do you need to change in them? How are you re-position yourself?

Make new action plans from inter-relationship behavior or corporate moves. 

Many torments come to one due to the material contamination owed to our fruitive work.  Allow youself to be disturbed.  Say sorry to the voices that are complaining to you.  Smile back at people you did not have time to smile at in real life.  Do it in your mind. 

Take time for yourself.  Don’t wait till you are retired. 

Retire every quarter if you can.  If not at least every year. 

Stay alive.  Don’t be zombie in a corporate suit. 

If you are worried about your work, can’t find mental stability, then it means you have not found peace at work. 

You need to detox your life in order to find peace and an unwavering certitude. 

This requires that you are able to get out of the rat race at least for a couple of days.  Remember don’t allow yourlsef to be paid on this sabbatical.  It will defeat the purpose.  Sacrifice that income in the name of your soul. 

Every person has a different approach to detoxifying his or her life. 

Why don’t you choose to have your own detoxification (of life) program?  Contact me if you need help.

Everything aside, after detoxifying your life, you feel so light, so pure and so right.  This makes you even fitter to work, to earn more and to last longer.
