Flexibilty

Yesterday I was planning on spending a few hours working on the internet, adding some things to my website. I find that it really helps me to spend blocks of time doing similar tasks, rather than doing them a bit of each every day. So for instance, I write several articles at one sitting, and do several recordings at one sitting. This means that I am in the swing of the technology and programme that I am using, when I go from one thing to another, I always seem to be starting from scratch, and learning the process again. It’s a much more efficient use of my time. So, yesterday, I was all geared up and excited about doing the things that I had been planning.

I started and things were going ok and I was making good progress. Then my internet connection started playing up. It was coming and going, dropping and re-starting. Pages were taking ages to open, and it was becoming very frustrating. I could feel my energy dropping and my irritation growing.

I looked outside the window and was watching my dogs playing around, and the birds flying backwards and forwards in the bushes. Not getting irritated or frustrated by anything. Initially, I was reluctant to give up my vision of the day – but then I realised that I could just change things slightly. I had no plans for the evening, so I could see how the internet was then, and see if I could get the things done in a more relaxed way.

So, I left the computer and my “plans” for the day and went and made a large pot of vegetable soup and then took the dogs out for a long walk. We had a great time. All my frustration and irritation left me – how can you feel frustrated and irritated when you are watching 4 dogs running so joyfully!! I walked, listening to a great talk by Christina Hills on my ipod, and came home to a beautiful pot of soup.

That evening the internet was up and running again, and I got done what I had wanted to. I know that if I had stuck to my plan, I would have got it done, but my vibrational level would definitely have been lowered and probably those around me would have suffered also from my frustration.

Being flexible, let me do what I had planned whilst keeping my vibrational level high and giving me the bonus of a great walk!

I really appreciate the gift of having been led to do that.
