This is just too much
The insanity of the go-go-go mindset

In this day and age, there is such a huge emphasis on rushing, doing, achieving, and getting things done.
It’s such an overload of frenetic energy within the collective that so many of us end up encountering mystery illnesses and chronic fatigue just trying to keep up.
And if you’re thinking it’s just work that’s stressful, that’s not even half the battle.
People also have the lifestyle stress of believing they have to be married, own a house, a certain car, have a degree, or have reached particular career milestones by a certain age.
But things just don’t always work that way!
And many of us simply just don’t function that way.
Yet, so many of us have bought into the lifestyle dogma of believing we need to keep up with these things.
But in reality, this overdoing causes a buildup of stagnant energy on the right side of the root chakra; it then becomes obstructed and doesn't move up the central channel (Sushumna Nadi), in which it’s meant to, causing a myriad of issues.
The truth is, we have been lied to, and the normal, everyday benchmarks for modern lifestyles are just not the way many of us actually want to live.
So, I write this message with an encouragement to tap into your intuition and think about how YOU want to live and not what the doctrine of Western society tells you is the right way to live.
In addition, it’s a reminder of just how dysfunctional the go-go-go mentality really is.
But it’s such a part of our culture that very few choose to actually question it.
But what would happen if you just decided to slow down a little?
Work fewer hours and get more sleep?
Take more days off for yourself and be kinder to yourself?
Will the sky fall down?
Or will you be greeted with more energy, a better mental and energetic state, and heightened emotional well-being?
Why not try it out this week and pay close attention to your energy.
If you notice a huge improvement in your energy during these times of taking your hand off the throttle, then perhaps you could optimize that energy for more important tasks instead of just trying to feel busy because you feel guilty if you’re not constantly doing.
What could you do with this reservoir of optimized energy, not squandered on trying to keep up with the impossible expectations of our culture?
Only you can decide.
And you will probably notice that less truly is more when it comes to your energetic output.
Love and light,
