How To Break
Through Your Mental Traffic Jam
Hey there Friend,
I want you to
imagine something with me right now. You are standing on a busy street corner
in a big city. Traffic is thick — cars, trucks, taxis and buses are honking
their horns. You hear babies crying and children begging their parents for the
new toys they see in a shop window. You hear car alarms and emergency sirens. A
teenager yells to his friend across the street. There are people rushing around
everywhere, bumping into each other. The hustle and bustle of the city creates an
overwhelming buzz of noise surrounding you on every side. It's all noise.
Can you feel the
stress, anxiety and pressure that comes with all the noise?
Now I want you to
think about the kind of noise that goes on in your life every day. What is the
noise you hear in your mind, in your home, in your job? What are the worries
and cares that compete for your attention every moment of the day and night?
Do what you want...NOW!
Let's face it — there are a thousand things pulling
you in different directions every day, between work, school, friends, family
and fun. But what if there was a simple way to get
more
done in less
time, so you have more time for the things you really want to do?
Now there is!
Have you ever
noticed in the midst of that noise, it can be hard to keep moving
forward? When you have so many different things begging for your time and
energy, there is no peace, no stillness. It's all about now, hurry, fast,
react, get it done! You've become so used to the traffic in your mind that
you're now literally functioning on autopilot.
Your kids talk to
you, but you can't hear them. Your boss gives you directions, but you can't
comprehend. Your friends confide in you, but their words go in one ear and out
the other.
The noise
creates confusion and chaos.
Your mind is constantly saying, "Go, go, now, now!" But
where? You are no longer in control of your thoughts and actions — the traffic
is in control. You no longer have the ability to make conscious
decisions; you can only react with your subconscious.
Friend, isn't it
time to reclaim control? After all, this is YOUR life. This is
your one shot, your all-or-nothing. Is it everything you want it to
be? Are you designing the life you want to live? Or when you take a
good look at parts of your life, do you wonder how on earth you ended up where
you are?
My friend, I don't
want you to wake up one morning 5, 10, 20 years from now and say, "How
did I get here? When did things go wrong? Why did my life turn out this
way?" But that's exactly what will happen if you do not stop
the traffic, remove the noise and begin to design your life.
When was the last
time your mind was still? When is the last time you felt peace? When is the
last time you stole a moment away from the busy-ness of life to just be still?
I know
there are things begging for your attention right this very moment. And yes,
many of them are probably important things. But it's so important to quiet
your mind and really focus on the most important thing in the moment.
Make decisions based on that, and not on the traffic in your mind.
When you have a
clear and calm mind, you will find that it's easier to make decisions that will
set you up for the kind of success you desire in your life. You will eliminate
stress, and experience peace instead.
You will not be easily led astray, because you will know exactly where you're
going. A clear and calm mind means a clear and calm focus, and that is
what will lead you to success.
It's such a simple
thing, but it can make all the difference. Just give it a shot
today. Throughout the day, just stop and take a deep breath. Eliminate the
noise, quiet your mind, and focus on what is most important in that very
moment.
Friend, I can't
wait to see you reach your full potential. I truly believe you can and
you will...IF you learn to eliminate the noise and make
decisions that will lead you to success.
Please pass this
along to your friends and family members today. This is a reminder we all need
sometimes, especially with the busy-ness we experience on a day-to-day basis.
