What I’m about to tell you is opposite of what most of us learned is the way to achieve success.
Forget about:
- No pain, no gain.
- You have to work hard for what you want.
- Put your nose to the grindstone.
- Success requires sacrifice, suffering and struggle.
Beliefs like these often don’t create sustainable results that lead to a happy life. Furthermore, trying hard is exhausting.
When we align our positive energy first and then take inspired action with grace and ease, we can create better outcomes while feeling good, too.
A client, whose career is in the fitness industry, shared how his life is working better.
“I let go of pushing harder. I had the kind of personality to be hard on myself, more disciplined. It left me feeling out of control, especially about things I can’t do anything about.
“I had mind-numbing, self-critiquing all the time. I was looking for approval.
“Now I see how when I’m softer and centered, I’m in control. It’s easier to be in my own skin. People are more at ease around me because I’m more at ease with myself.
“I make choices moment-to-moment instead of worrying about the future and what others think.
“I catch myself a lot quicker instead of having long periods of anxiety. I chart my course by mentally creating my ideal scenario and letting go of the pushing.
“Week by week, this new way of living life is sinking in as I allow myself to go from efforting to grace and ease.
“I’ve reclaimed my natural power and feel myself evolving to my true potential as I achieve my goals.”
There was more joy, confidence and lightness in his voice as well.
You can tap into a zone where you won’t need to push yourself. By getting out of your own way, you can get more done with better results and even go beyond limits.
It starts by shifting from trying to relaxing into a flow of doing what you love.
Olympic athletes center and focus themselves before taking action. The winners go beyond worry and ride the wave of their event – even when changing winds seem to be against them. They’re at the right place at the right time to avoid the hazards.
You can, too.
