This morning I’m in a dispute with my inner Productivity Police.
I’m a solo-preneur, like many of you. Daily meditation and weekly strategy sessions are not optional. Not only do they nourish and inspire me, they are the essential component that gives my work leverage, momentum, and focus. Without these “right-brain” creative practices, I may get a lot done, but there is no assurance that I am doing the right things.
And, yet, 20 years after starting my own business, here I am still fighting with my inner Productivity Police, who think that such things are a colossal waste of time and that I should be Working the List Immediately.
One of these days, I am hoping that I reach a tipping point on this game, and that the evidence convinces my inner gremlins of the efficacy of these essential practices. Or not. Whatever happens, I’ll just keep on doing them.
I guess that is what is at the heart of meditation. Showing up and doing it.
Showing up and doing it… such true words! I fight with my inner Productivity Police too, it’s like a tug-of-war some days. Thanks for this post!
