Stop What You Are Doing

    View: 
Do you want to invigorate yourself? Do you want to feel the energy of life rushing through your veins? Do you want to get on track, get going, finally make some real headway and cruise your way through life? Then let me tell you this: in order to get these juices flowing, you have to stop doing what does not work for you. Stop doing all those things that drain your energy and make you feel empty. Stop sitting around and start standing up for yourself! Get rid of relationships that do not help you grow. Get rid of food that does not feed you. Get rid of activities that do not build you up! Stop doing whatever it is that makes you tired, irritated and grumpy. Break with people who don't support you and deplete your energy! Stop doing whatever it is that pulls your energy level down, and start doing whatever it is that lifts your energy level up!



1)People. Break with people who vampirize you, those who are constantly feeding off your precious energy. If you feel empty and muddled after meeting with certain people, then do not meet with them anymore! When you feel your energy level is higher after meeting with certain people, then they are okay for you. Be aware of your energy level and how people affect it, and then act accordingly!

2)Conversations. Stop participating in conversations that keep you down, that make you feel annoyed or angry. Try to express your ideas in a calm and clear fashion, but if the other is not paying attention, then leave the conversation and go on with your business!

3)Activities. Stop doing whatever it is that makes you feel exhausted. If you do not like cleaning the house, then find somebody else to do it for you, EVEN if you would do a better job by yourself! The question is not, who does a better job? The question is, what does this activity do to my energy level? Stop doing what brings you down. Instead, do what boosts your energy.

4)Food. Stop eating and drinking food that makes you drowsy or bad tempered. Food has a direct influence on your mood. If drinking too much coffee makes you irritable, then do not drink too much coffee. If drinking one cup of coffee in the morning gives you the energy to get started, then drink one cup of coffee. If one glass of wine makes you euphoric, then drink one glass of wine. If three glasses of wine make you feel dizzy, then do not drink three glasses of wine.

5)Job. Appreciate and be appreciated. If your boss talks down to you, humiliates you, and does not appreciate your work, then leave him. Find yourself a better boss! Find yourself a boss who DESERVES having YOU as an employee! Do not stay around someone with such a low energy level. He will keep bringing you down. Find yourself a boss or a job that lifts up your energy level. When you try to hold on to a job that drains all your energy, then before long you will surely develop some kind of disease. Nobody can withstand a climate of low energy without paying the high price of illness and depression.

6)Places. Do not stay in places where you do not feel good. Some restaurants and cafes are so noisy that it is impossible to spend time there without severely attacking your energy vibrations. Too much noise, too many people, too much chaos will inevitably drag you down. Do not stay in a house that has a bad energy to it. If a place is good for you then you will feel an energy boost whenever you spend time there!

This advice seems so simple that you might think I am treating you like a four-year old. Do not kid yourself! Four year-olds often have a healthier relationship with themselves than we do. They will not go on eating or drinking something they do not feel comfortable with, but many adults do! Take their example.

What to do when you notice that your energy level has been dragged down by a person, a place, an activity, or anything else? No problem, you can fix it immediately! The best remedy to uplift your energy vibration is: Nature. Go for a walk in the forest, or the park. Breathe the oxygen. Observe a flower in close-up. Look how Mother Nature very carefully painted the nerves in the leaves, and your energy level will be skyrocketing. Watch some children play, listen to some birds sing. Take your time.

If you ca not go out, then put on some inspirational music and dance around the table. This will do you good. Go to a quiet room and meditate for a while. Imagine you have an energy channel starting at your spine and going into the heart of the earth. Send down all the bad and low energy vibrations. Mother earth knows how to transform them into high-level energy. Imagine a channel from your spine into heaven, and feel how divine celestial energy is flowing into your body to replenish you with high-energy vibrations. See yourself surrounded by a magnificent white golden light. You can do this even at work, sitting in front of your computer, at a meeting, anywhere, anytime. You can also carry a gemstone with you, and instruct it to deviate low energy vibrations and permit only good vibrations to touch you.

You are the shepherd of your own energy. What vibration do you prefer: high or low? It is up to you to flow around what feels bad and stick to what feels good. It is up to you to clean up your energy field. Nothing too complex, just regular maintenance. Take an energy shower in the forest. Breathe!
Stop What You Are Doing
And after a while two things happen.

Firstly - You get exhausted, because everything revolves around you - every piddling decision, people wait for you.

Secondly - Remarkably, your people start to leave - or give poor service - or get grumpy. Or all these, and more! How ungrateful, you've done everything for them...

You see, fixing things, when they aren't working right, is a very natural instinct to use in business, when we're the boss.

This could be a team leader, a manager, a small business owner, or even a senior leader in a bigger organization. Too 'hands-on' happens all over the place.

It's human nature to help people who ask us for help. It makes us feel good on a number of levels. We feel needed. We like to have a purpose for being. We like to go home each night feeling we have succeeded. And feeling fulfilled.

The easy way is to fix things.

But fixing things, especially as our businesses get bigger, means we are stretched really thinly. There is just one small layer that creates solutions and then, not only the best ones, because there is an opinion of only one.

So it gets harder, without getting much better.

The longer it goes on, the more others depend on us and even if we do listen, they know in the end, we will have the only answer that counts.

They do less, depend on us more. They get fed up with a lack of involvement (fulfilment of their own), we get exhausted by doing everything.

What to do about this? Well, it's time to stop yourself doing things.

Take these circumstances into account and deal with them:-

1. Physically stop yourself providing answers to problems. It gets boring with the old 'answer a question with a question', but you can delve a little deeper. So...

2. When faced with one of your people bringing a problem to be solved, try the following:-

a. Ask for more information

b. Follow-up the information with more requests for information following what you've heard

c. Ask for ideas

d. Ask for thoughts that they might have discarded

e. Ask about what they've already tried

f. Find out what's getting in the way of them finding a solution

g. Check-out what worked for them in the past and can it apply here?

3. Respond to ideas they might have with encouragement - if you really feel they're barking up a wrong tree, just ask if it's going to work and how - but nicely!

4. Notice when people are uncertain about their own solutions and offer them a touching-base point for further discussion

5. Be prepared to prevaricate. This is a really good tactic. By asking for some time (try overnight) to 'think about things', you will be surprised to find out how often solutions turn up for them

6. Give away input. Create permission at certain levels for people to make decisions which you need not know about. Tell people what level a decision/solution is on and get on with it! Like this:-

- I decide on solutions

- You suggest solutions to me

- You tell me your solution and act

- You find a solution and act without telling me

7. Provide an environment of 'no wrongs'. People need to feel that it's OK to make some mistakes, before they can risk getting it wrong a little. There's a famous story of a Ford executive who made a big ($40M) mistake. When he came up for promotion and some criticised his candidacy, his boss said, 'What, and miss out on the guy who's had the most expensive training experience!'

8. Use better people than you for making decisions at your weak point. If you aren't a detail person, get help from someone who is, when it comes to making critical detail decisions

9. Recognise successes in your people's decision making and solution finding - stretch them to make more and bigger ones. Develop them on your succession plan - they are the people you need - by taking the weight off you. Shift their decision-making level as described in 6 above

10. Finally. Chill! Focus on where you can take your own role and stop worrying about how many pencils one of your team is ordering. With good decision-making parameters and your trust, you won't be getting the truck load you fear

Your people will thrill to being given some responsibility; they will truly thrive and expand their capabilities.

You will relax a little, safe in the knowledge that not everything is down to you. You are building good people, as well as a great business.
