Moving in slow motion
Have you ever felt like you were in one of those dreams where you are trying to run but you are moving sooo slowly? You put so much energy into moving quickly, but you are moving in slow motion and you can’t change that? It’s such a frustrating feeling!
Sometimes life is like that too. You know what you want to do. You know where you want to go. You put a TON of energy in, but it feels like you are moving in slow motion. You are trying to move quickly, but you can’t. Very frustrating! Have you had this experience? Yeah, me too.
Then I learned a secret that took me out of slow motion. It’s the last thing on earth you would think would be the solution to slow motion, but I am here to tell you it works!
Would you like to know what it is?
How to get out of the slow motion dream
Are you willing to be open minded? Are you willing to try something that seems totally unrelated and cuckoo? I mean, what have you got to lose? The worst that could happen is that you keep moving at a snail’s pace. The best part is that this actually works, and you will find yourself accelerating where you want to go!
So try this exercise with me:
- Get a piece of paper (or make a list on your phone). Who is someone you have bad feelings for? Write their name down. Who else? Write their names down. Who else? Write every name that comes to you until you can’t think of any more names.
- Next, take the person at the top of the list, and
- FORGIVE THEM.
Easy to say, hard to do, right? This is the secret. It’s the secret to moving forward faster.
Here’s why:
What is really slowing you down?
Did you know that holding on to those negative feelings is really slowing YOU down? It’s like driving a boat with a bunch of anchors dragging along behind. Forgiveness cuts the anchor and allows you to accelerate. Hasn’t that person hurt you enough? Why are you allowing them to continue to slow you down? Cut the rope already!
Just imagine what will happen as you go down your list and forgive (get rid of negative feelings and cut the rope) each of those people. Imagine how light you will feel! Imagine how fast you will be able to move forward!
Letting go of all that baggage will allow you the freedom and ability to soar forward and accomplish your dreams and feel more joy in your life. It’s totally worth it. Best secret ever!
