The Power Of The Off Button!

Feeling Wired?

Do you constantly feel on edge? Not sure what to expect next? Nerves frayed? Feeling overwhelmed by today’s complex world situation? How is it that some people are calm, fearless, and content, while others are frightful, worried, overwhelmed, and uncertain about the future?

Think of your life as an extension cord with too many appliances plugged in. Each vies for the limited energy you have available until a short-circuit or fire occurs. And nobody wants that!

All of the choices we have these days can be overwhelming–just walk the (very long) breakfast cereal aisle at your local grocery! There are hundreds of vehicle models, hundreds of ways to watch television shows, not to mention all the information imaginable right in the palms of our hands on the internet. No wonder we’re feeling wired!

To start simplifying things, begin limiting choices. Spend less than is earned. Turn the TV off. Leave the smartphone inside and go outside to watch the sun set, then watch the stars and planets appear. Count blessings daily by entering them in a journal. Read. Identify your principles, and live them.

Start unplugging now, and use that energy to enjoy the simple things–and prevent your life from short-circuiting.
