 I have been absorbing Dr. Wayne Dyer's work on "intentioning."
While traveling to and from work, I play his book (on CD), "The Power of
Intention." The material is some of the most powerful that I have ever come
across. There are a hundred or more ideas which he expresses, that each in
itself can change a life. And when you put them all together it becomes a body
of work to which I could dedicate the rest of my life. Yes, it is truly that
great.
Here, I want to focus on just a small piece of one of his lessons. That is the
advice, "don't take yourself so seriously."
Like you, I have heard this advice many times, stated in many ways. And, every
time I hear it, I can feel myself letting go, relaxing. When I think about
keeping things in perspective and not blowing them out of proportion, my whole
body and mind calm down.
The world is serious enough without my thoughts exaggerating my present or past
situation. I find myself weighing things out with the statement, "in the greater
scheme of things, this really doesn't matter." And, more often than not, it
doesn't.
If you think about the people and leaders you tend to gravitate towards in your
work day, I'd be surprised to find that any of them were Chicken Littles -- "the
sky is falling, the sky is falling!" But rather, they are more likely those calm
individuals who steer their boats to calmer waters without all the drama, angst,
and seriousness. Not that there aren't serious issues, but stressing out
unnecessarily and impacting those around you does not inspire others to their
best performance.
It's a very simple lesson, but taken to heart can change your health and your
life.
Coaching Inquiries: Do you overreact? Are there certain people or situations
that get you going? Are you strong enough mentally to better control that
reaction? Are you willing to choose to make that shift?
