Completing Up to the Moment
Have you ever had an empty to-do list? Nor had I until this week!
Years ago, a client shared his goal of wanting to have nothing on his to-do list, meaning he would be current and enjoy the energy that offers. A wonderful goal yet there will never be an empty action list or email inbox for long because there is always a continuous flow of action in this world. And honestly, we wouldn’t want to stop that continuous flow as it contains our creativity, abundance, our learning and more. Doing and completing is our job on this planet and keeps us vital and alive.
I am a great doer and completer, and yet, this week I was needing an energy boost; a refresh so to speak. Having never had an empty next action list, I offered myself the challenge for fun. First, I tackled the few items that have been lingering on the list to release any stored energy they were holding. Then I stayed focused until there was nothing left on the list. What a joy filled moment. Right away the creative juices appeared along with the energy re-charge I was wanting.
Of course, the empty list began to fill within minutes. However, I was still experiencing the new energy from emptying the list as well as letting go of those unchosen items. Now the list is current, alive, and purposeful.
Doing is our key to keeping the flow going and our energy vibrant. Over-organizing, or continually checking for new texts/emails stops the flow. The goal isn’t to have an empty list but to keep completing and adding new action. Focusing our attention on the doing delivers the rewards of greater enthusiasm, creativity, freedom, and expansion.
Keeping our completing up to the moment as much as we can keeps the consciousness engaged, inspired and willing to do more.
Give yourself an energy recharge. Make a choice to keep your action lists vital and moving and yourself current up to the moment.
Martha Invitations
1. Pick one item you keep passing over on your action lists and just do it.
2. Do the 2-minute actions before they even make it to your list.
3. In your weekly review be honest as you look at each item and delete what is no longer viable.
