THE POWER IN DOING NOTHING

To not be busy is to succeed.

Don’t you agree?

I frequently get asked ‘are you busy with your business’ Juliet?

And if I smile and say no, people seem surprised! As if, I’m not ‘succeeding’.

Isn’t a successful business one where the owner isn’t BUSY?

Since when did being busy become a sign of success?

When I’m busy I’m literally closed for business!

Energetically, I’m shut down. And when I’m shut down, I’m not creative and definitely not in my most powerful state!

Life is busy. But that’s not a sign of success, is it?

Isn’t stillness, efficiency and simplicity a true silent sign of success?

In today’s fast paced world, I believe it is a constant conscious practice to stop, to pause, and to do less these days.

To NOT be busy.

I really love encouraging my clients to say NO to the busy activities and instead spend their precious time on things that fill their cups.

Because, if you’re not focusing on your own dreams, you’re likely just helping someone else with theirs.

And most people don’t have very clear or well thought out (or inspiring) dreams… do they?

So their dream might just be, spending all their time or money at the (insert money wasting ‘busy’ past time here eg. pub/ doing paperwork / social media / shops/ beauty salon).

But what if your dream is big?

What if you feel like you have a real purpose for being here?

All of a sudden, that can seem a little overwhelming, can’t it? That excited yet scary feeling of growth and stepping into the unknown…

And, in the process of pursuing your true purpose there is SO MUCH power in giving yourself time to do nothing. Time to reflect. Time to marinate on thoughts and opportunities that are possible. Time to actually think in a state of relaxed awareness. 

“Dolce far niente”… as Paul tells me joyfully that the Italian’s say, which translates to ‘the sweetness of doing nothing.’
I guide you through a process of ‘doing nothing’ in this week’s episode of Relaunch My Life Radio in addition to a few powerful steps to support you to gain clarity and perspective on your life.

I believe when we remove the chaos and set a clear direction for the future and then consciously do LESS but in the process achieve MORE, our life becomes so much sweeter….
