The very abridged story is in the video below.

I know so many creative people–especially entrepreneurs who sometimes get stuck in inertia at the prospect of kicking things up a notch. I certainly haven’t been immune. But there are a number of tools on my belt that I’ve accumulated over the years to help me become unstuck fairly quickly. Some days are easier than others, but without the tools, I know I’d back to square one! So let’s all amp it up a notch!

Amp it up! :)

Amp it up! :)

Are you overwhelmed or possibly in the throes of procrastination…? Or maybe you’re an “over-achiever” accomplishing plenty by others’ standards, but it’s never enough to you. If any of that rang true for you, listen in for 45 minutes and find out how to change your relationship with time and your environment. The majority of people don’t get to live their dreams, because they don’t make things happen in a timely fashion.

Tune in now:

We had a ball even as my Diva child decided that it didn’t matter that her mommy was in the middle of an interview at some point in our discussion. ;)

I know I’m dating myself, but I loved A Different World, the NBC spin-off of the Cosby show as a youth in the 90s. Hearing Whitley say, “Relax, Relate, Release!” was something I just adopted even when it was hard for me to relax, relate or release!Lately, I was starting to think the moon or some cosmic force was having an effect on so many people in my sphere: In my academic world, I had some students freaking out about their grades as the semester nears an end, fellow professors stressed about publication and tenure and general overwhelm… In the coaching world, a more-than-usual amount of clients have been experiencing a sustained sense of overwhelm.And today! Today, I can’t remember how many times I had to tell someone to BREATHE, whether it was my daughter, one of her teammates, one of the parents of the teammates, or yours truly (uh-huh!) when all was said and done.So after I got back from dropping off my daughter at one of her friends’ houses for a sleepover this evening, I immediately turned on my recording software and started to speak a meditation around overwhelm and stress. Rather than the usual gregarious tone some of you may have heard in my podcasts (particularly the storytelling one for Six Sigma), my voice is quite even and calm in this audio.

There was some irony in my process because of various interruptions and false starts while I was recording. I was so glad when I finally finished my vocals and could move on to mixing the ocean waves and my relaxing music in!

So if you, or someone you know is starting to feel the pinch, or if you just want to do some preventative maintenance, I invite you to get in a quiet place and treat yourself for 14 minutes by downloading the MP3 below and listening:Get Still, Get Positive Meditation
