STOP THE ENERGY DRAINS AND SOAR!

"Each difficult moment has the potential to open my eyes and open my heart."

-- Myla Kabat-Zinn

Hi,

A close friend of mine, Bonnie Hutchinson, has noticed that when we begin to move into something new in our lives, blocks and fears immediately show up. She perceives that a great many of us are being really challenged in this way right now -- it seems a sign of the times. She's showing leadership in facing those blocks head on so we can SOAR, and I want to share what she's offering with you.

Open the taps!

My husband and I are thinking of adding a small bathroom in a space that now serves as laundry room. A truly amazing contractor is sizing up the situation, figuring out what is possible.

Since we moved into our home a couple of years ago, the tap in the laundry room sink has not worked properly. The water appears to have no pressure. You can turn on the taps as far as they'll go, and just a trickle of water comes out. It hasn't been a big deal -- but it's a petty annoyance.

I mention to the contractor that the existing taps have not worked properly since we moved in. He reaches over, unscrews something from the end of the faucet, and turns on the tap. Water gushes out!

The contractor shows us the little gizmo he's removed from the end of the faucet. "Look at that," he says. "Completely blocked."

We are stunned. We have to laugh. For almost three years, we've been tolerating something that could have been fixed in 30 seconds!

Since our "tap" experience, I've been looking around at other tolerations. A door that doesn't quite close. Some clutter (okay, quite a bit of clutter) in one part of my office. An empty travel bag waiting to be put away.

None of these is any particular big deal. And yet ... they are all "tolerations." It takes a little bit of energy to avoid having them bother. And every little toleration is another energy drain. And another and another and another ...

Pretty soon, not much positive energy is hanging around because of all the energy drains.

Who knows? Maybe every one of these tolerations can be fixed in 30 seconds! What are we waiting for?
