This being lost may be physically where you don't know how to get home again, or it may be lost in your life, feeling unsure of where to go to next, or how to move forward.

The natural tendency when this happens is to run faster, circle around, get flustered as you try and find your way.

Not only are you physically racing around but your mind is also racing along at a mile a minute.

Everything speeds up in a panic to try and get you to back to something familiar.

What can you do when this happens?

STOP, BREATHE, and REGROUP

Everything feels hard to do and there is no joy.
 
In contrast there are days when you are on track, in the flow and totally inspired and on task to get everything done you need to get done. You are at in the zone!!
What is the difference between being stuck and being in the flow?

The answer lies within your body.

Nothing had been fully completed. 
 
This scattered energy was costing me not only valuable time but also my self esteem.  

AND I did not recognize it immediately.

 The expectations from society, friends, family and ourselves can be crazy making. 
 
Have you ever experienced times that you are thrown in the company of family or acquaintances that push your buttons and make you want to scream?
 
Do you find that you sometimes react poorly to these situations?

Well that describes me during the last two days. 
 
As I began work on Day 6 I was quite encouraged about how grounded I was and how well I was doing with "Living in the Moment".  I meditated for 20 minutes and felt amazing. I worked with two great coaching clients in the morning.  We did some PSYCH-K and shifting of subconscious beliefs, visualizations and goal setting, and released some emotional blocks.  I was in the flow, living in the moment, breathing, connecting with my inner self then bham!!  Things changed.

Flying all night to get back home was a little exhausting and when I walked into the house and saw the stack of mail and emails I needed to deal with I felt a little overwhelmed.  However, I set up a plan and a strategy for how I wanted this week to go.  I feel ready to get back to the real world.

Living in the Moment is more challenging to do in the real

 When ever I follow the rules and slow right down, I am amazed at how much more I see.
 
I notice the children playing in the school yard. I notice the maroon painted front door, I notice the beautiful blue sky and I notice the beauty around me. I become conscious of my surroundings and appreciate what is going on around me. 
 
This is definitely a different feeling from the racing tension I get when I spend my time thinking about what is next on my list or worrying about everything I need to do.
When we spend our time racing to get to where we need to get to next, focusing on the destination rather than the journey, it is amazing how much we miss along the way.
