Stay in the flow of vacation mode even after the vacation is over.

Like most people, I took a break over the holiday weekend from work.  For at least three days, but more like four I didn’t think about to do lists or things that I needed to get done.  I had a small list of accomplishments to make on Friday related to my husband’s birthday and then I spent the next 3 days relaxing.  I made crafts, visited with friends, went to parties.  When I started up again on Tuesday morning I was feeling lovely and refreshed and far far away from my work.

As I dug back in again I found myself filling up the piece of paper next to my computer with loads of notes about things I needed to get done.  Many of these items hadn’t even been on the list before, but now needed to be accomplished— and that’s not even mentioning the other projects I had been working on before the weekend.  That’s when I started to feel that familiar twinge of not quite panic, but definitely not repose set in.  As I felt my relaxed and easy vibe begin to fade, I was like, “Wait a minute!  I’m not going to let go of this feeling.”

I wasn’t willing to be taken over by that frenetic energy that tells me I’ve got to speed up now or else, I wanted to continue moving at the speed that was comfortable to me, moving effortlessly from one thing to the next at a pace that felt whole and natural.  Instead of panicking about what was on my list, I wanted to be able to trust that it would all get done.  I knew that I could continue to be in the flow and move through the items on my list in a natural and easy way—I had done it before.  That’s when I came up with my mantra.

Quietly I reminded myself, “There is more than enough time to get done everything I need to do.”

Just remembering that made all the difference.  It kicked me back into the place of moving from that flow—of putting my energy whole heartedly into whatever I

was doing at the moment and trusting that when this was finished the next thing would not only be obvious but also just as easily accomplished.  Try it.  Just say it to yourself.  “There is more than enough time to get done everything I need to

do.”  Doesn’t it feel great?  Go ahead say it again!  It totally changes your vibration doesn’t it?

So if your looking to keep your vacation vibe while getting back to work, but not only that, to keep your present focus, moving effortlessly from one item on your

 

list to another, try that mantra on for size because you know what, there is more than enough time for you to accomplish whatever you need to, and knowing so can make all the difference.
