Greetings, how have you been? I have been listening and I have been acting on what I hear. I continue to refine my ability to act on my guidance, lol.
My intention is to...Do less. Say less. Be more.
If you listen regularly, you may have noticed that I haven't posted anything over the last few weeks. I mentioned in Week 30 that I was slowing down and being open to what was next. Well, that guidance told me to stop doing so I did.
I've learned in all these years of personal development, self growth, whatever you wanna call this journey we're on called life, that what's next doesn't always present itself when we want it to. Keeping that in mind, I am listening to guidance and offering my podcast episodes as I feel guided to do so.

The Why Struggle? podcast has been an around since 2018 so there are over 1500 episodes that are there for your listening pleasure. Lol.
This morning as I was brushing my teeth, doing one thing at a time, I thought I would share a few thoughts with you about doing one thing. One thing at a time.

We live in a world that is moving so very fast. So much is happening on so many levels most of the time, doing one thing seems totally unreasonable and sometimes impossible. And it is so important that we learn, develop and refine this very effective and essential skill.

I offer to you a practice I have embraced and continue to do. Wait for it...only brush my teeth. How crazy does that sound? lol in this, do things as fast as you can, do as many things as you can at the same time world, how can I only brush my teeth?

I realized that I was brushing my teeth and walking around, straightening up, or brushing my teeth and pulling out my clothes to wear, or brushing my teeth and doing whatever was the next thing.

So I decided to only brush my teeth. To give myself two minutes of doing one thing at a time. And it is a practice. It is practice, because I have been practicing doing more than one thing at time while brushing my teeth for longer than I realized. I might have been doing squats, or leg lifts, or watching a YouTube video. Luckily my electric toothbrush alerts me when I miss a few spots whilst brushing my teeth.
