Life Been Full Of Surprises Lately?

As a Momprenuer you get used to "making" things happen.  Orders need to get filled, diapers changed, calls made, teens to understand, and the list goes on.  Letting things slide seems unheard of however we know deep down often we have to let some things slide to enjoy a little peace.

But have you ever considered it's not letting things slide when you give people the space and things the time to work themselves out?  Actually at times being still and not responding is the very thing that you are supposed to do.  It allows you the time to process and make sure your course of action is what's really needed or not.

To get to the point of not always responding it takes a total change of mindset.  For example, I've had a very successful career.  Partly because I used to jump through hoops to attend to everyone's needs.  Now I work at my own pace and allow others the space and time they need to work things out for themselves all while still getting my work done and being of service to my clients.
 
Everyone close to me has noticed this change.  At first I thought everyone would reject the new, more laid back, let it go Quiana.  But I'm seeing that because I am more relaxed (not to mention happy) those around me are benefiting too.  

Everyone's life I touch benefits from a more attentive, relaxed, and focused person. This is truly enjoyable for others because they have the space and room to talk, learn, and grow.  Could your family, friends, and clients benefit from this too?

Think about it, people like to be heard and truly understood.  Slowing down allows you to truly hear people because you're not always moving, reacting, solving.  Believe it or not, it'll feel like you're a new person and it'll be fun to reconnect with others (even those you've known for years) on a whole new level!

Here are 6 surefire ways to help you change your mindset so you don't feel the urge to save the world:
*  Don't take life so serious.  Things (good and bad) are going to happen no matter what you do.
*  Take a step back and avoid reacting to anything that is not an emergency.  
*  Don't take on anything new for a few weeks and avoid over-doing anything you have to do right now.  
*  Focus on getting things done not perfect.
*  Give those around you space to solve their problems their way.
*  Allow others to make mistakes and learn from them like you did. You are who you are because of what you learned along the way.

Everyone around you will benefit from a more relaxed you.  You'll definitely be happier and be able to enjoy life more!  

Try this assignment, write down every time someone comes to you to help solve their problem.  Then write down all the times you want to solve someone's problem without them asking for your input.  Compare the lists after a week.  Write down what you learned from this assignment.
