Most of us who are living life in the fast lane don't even want to slow down; we're addicted to it. We feel like we get more done, get things done more quickly and efficiently, and all of that feels good to us at the time. However, we risk getting out of sync with our bodies if we do this too long. When we are moving so fast, it is generally impossible to listen to that still, small voice inside telling you what your body needs and doesn't need.

My life is a good example of this; as I've been going at warp speed for several years now, working 6-7 days per week and generally trying to do it all. Every time I would add one more thing to my plate, my still, small voice would ask me, "what are you willing to give up in order to bring this new thing into your life?" I would think about it and decide that I didn't have to give up anything, that I could add just this one little thing into my life and it would be even better. I was deluding myself; listening to the ego instead of the still, small wise voice, the voice of the Higher Self. But when you're going so fast, it's hard to make the distinction.

Well, at some point the whole thing has to come crashing down; it's just the Law of Nature. For me it was my back; the structure that holds us up and keeps us going. My back gave out and, as all of you who have ever had back problems know, when you have back problems your life comes to a crashing halt. It's like a sentence with an exclamation point at the end; you must listen! When an event like this occurs, you have nothing to do but listen to your body and begin to make amends for the abuse you have given it. It's a difficult learning experience. You have to listen and take action to bring balance into your life. I am making some significant changes in my life that will help me to regain the balance I had lost. 

As I reflect on the blur that was my life up until recently, I remember fleeting thoughts of summers past when time seemed to stand still. These images were coming from my Higher Self, telling me what I needed in order to return to wholeness. It was a wish coming from the depths of my soul wanting to be heard. This was a call for the balance in my life that was missing. We all need a balance of being and doing; it follows the energy cycles of the Earth and of all life. I have been working with the Law of Attraction long enough to know that my soul was trying to manifest just what I needed; and it did. I have loads of time now to reflect and rest; but am in a lot of pain, which serves to keep me in this mode until I really ground my energies and make the changes permanent. So be careful what you wish for, you just may get it…………...
