Note from Natalie:
Flooded office is a blessing?
You
would not have believed the storm we had yesterday.
Lightening actually struck a tree in my yard (yes, I am
ok), it brought all the phone lines down and rocked all my
office equipment. The surge protectors held and the server
was not damaged. Thank you Universe.
However,
my office was not so lucky for the water pouring into it.
Gobs, loads, stream, buckets. It came in through the air
conditioning conduit because it rained so hard, that our
entire street, yards, driveways, filled with 3 inches of
water and we are on FLAT ground.
You know
that your life is charmed if the next day, after vacuuming
out the water, moving the book cases, undoing all the
cabling and moving the 800 lb wet carpeting that you know
life is good…this too shall pass.
Throughout the evening and night last night, I heard
ambulances throughout the town going to places that needed
lots of help. I was truly thankful that I did not need them
here.
I just
put on my favorite music, stacked hundreds of books, dried
up lots of water and did not get electrocuted figuring out
the cabling.
In fact,
I am pretty darn proud of myself.
A nice
thing:
The storm hit at 4:30pm. By the time I figured out the
damage and needs for the office, it was 5:20pm. I called
the local rental place to get a water vac knowing they close
at 5:00pm and there on the other end of the phone was
delightful Sandra. She stayed late because she KNEW people
would be calling. I told her I would be there in 10
minutes.
I
arrived 30 minutes later because I had to take different
roads because they were all FLOODED.
Ms.
Sandra waited, helped me carry the “vac thing” to my truck
and off I went.
I told
her today when I brought it back to her, that I hoped I
never had to use her services ever again. She laughed. She
new exactly what I meant.
People
are just good, you know.
I am
counting my blessings today and trying really hard not to
look at the soggy mess that is slowing drying out.
So the
article today is about: What are our blessings? What
creates success? What are some really good steps to take
(and be) really good care of ourselves so we can continue to
“get it done” and create some outstanding results.
My love and blessings,
P.S. See the "What's New?"
section below.
We are so excited!!!

Feature Article:
"Rest” Your Way to Outstanding Results
If I could be with
you right now where you are, I would suggest that we
both take a deep breath. Maybe even three deep
breaths. Then I would suggest that we stop what we
were doing and just be.
You know I have
never see a job description that included:
“Must sit at
your desk, with your feet up, staring into the
distance,
smiling and relaxing (deep breathing suggested) –
minimum
one (1) hour per day”.
-
Do you know the
#1 way to produce creativity, confidence,
profits, excellence, influence, every success
characteristic we hold dear?
-
Do you know the
#1 way to promote good health and well being?
-
Do you know the
#1 way to create joy, happiness, relieve stress
and ultimate bliss?
REST AND SLEEP.
There is no drug,
therapy, food or action that is more important to
our ultimate well being than rest and sleep.
Resting our mind and our actions produces enormous
satisfaction for the mind, body and spirit. It also
allows for wildly successful creativity and
productivity.
Here are several
ways that you can create “rest” for yourself during
your busy day so you can be creative, whole and
productive. May I suggest that you put some of
these ideas right into your PDA (Blackberry) so you
can help remind yourself of the number one elixir
for long term success…resting the mind and body so
you can repair and create massive and sustainable
results.
-
Start your day with water not coffee (caffeine).
You do not have to skip your caffeine in the
morning, just begin your day with a large glass
of filtered water. It will help you rid
yourself of any leftover night time toxins, help
your metabolism get going and hydra that
important body of yours.
-
Eat something every 3 hours.
So, eating something does not give you
permission to load up on only carbs. Sliced
apples at 10:00am taste great and toting an
apple around is easy. How about a trail mix bar
with cranberries and almonds. An orange. A
handful of nuts. All of this food is portable
and helps to refuel that body of yours. A nice
result of this snacking is that you have less of
an push to overeat at regular meals.
-
Breath deeply.
Breath at least 3 deep breaths each time you
remember to do this. Now if breathing deeply
feels unusual it means that most of the time you
are breathing in shallow way and you can be
robbing yourself of that energy. Your cells
need oxygen, every second of every day. When
you don’t breath deeply, your body works hard
when it does not have to.
-
Walk around.
Sometimes it
feels like we are super glued to our chairs.
The body needs and wants to move around. Get up
and get out of your regular space, stretch a
muscle or two and then rub those neck and
shoulder muscles that have been parked in the
same position for 3 straight hours while you
worked on that important project on your
computer. One of my favorite exercises at work
is the wall pushup.
Just lean into any wall about a foot
away with your hands on the wall and replicate
the push up function. I usually do 20, but 5 is
good too.
-
Do nothing.
Just do
nothing. Don’t talk, walk, jog, eat, email,
think. Just do nothing for a whole 5 minutes.
Just be. If you have never tried this, it can
be a challenge. I mean do nothing. Just sit
where you are, close your eyes and do nothing.
Think nothing. Just breath and sit. Ok, some
people call this meditation, but it really is
nothing more than a highly
unused
way of taking a break.
If you have not
provided that kind of “rest” for yourself lately, it
is time. Like all good habits, it may take a bit
before you “remember” to do these things for
yourself, but once you get the hang of it, you will
be a “resting” guru.
Here are the
guarantees from these practices: better sleep, more
productive, happier, nicer skin because you are
hydrating yourself, easier to be around and your
creativity will be on high gear.
I think it is the
paradox of life, that rest produces such high output
results and sustained creativity.
See ya! I am off
to walk around, breath deeply and do a few minutes
of nothing.
