George Kao's Focusmate Group Yes, everything in business is spirit-based, but don’t use that as an excuse to not be organized. 😄
This is such a Core Teaching! I feel like I hit this so often when I'm struggling with calendaring in particular and things I don't want to do in general.
My takeaways:
Consistency (discipline, this kind of change) takes years. Be gentle.
Consistency ---> Skillfulness ---> Results
To create:
1st Sidle up and make friends at (or rebel against) the BAR (Boredom, Anxiety, Resistance).
2nd Energy Reboot frequently to generate flow once I'm in an activity.
Calendaring can be my friend. Give it time!

I really appreciate such a simple take on the use of focus. I think I can get lost in all kinds of things, like "how am I going to stay motivated overtime?" Re-framing work as focused time dissolves it into a simple choice, "Am I going to sit down and focus now, or not?" It's like a trick to stop me thinking about the complexities of passion, purpose, etc.. and just focus on focus.
Also, such a clear and consistent way to work with confidence (or any fear that arises); to meet it and support it every 10 minutes, is brilliant. It asks for constant self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-love, which not only makes it easier to do the work, it will also imbue the work with these qualities. Everybody wins.
I had an inspiration - with the idea of 'rebel against the resistance' which I love. I am mindful, though, our inner child (children) can be so terrified of failure. So another option is a curious approach, which is gentle/trauma informed side: 'I wonder what I can get done during an hour of focused work on this subject? Remember doing work little and often will adds up fast!'
I am loving the content here.
@Linda Friedman ...in a similar vein, I thought about, instead of the Universe giving way - as if I need to fight the Universe (yikes!), how about "the Universe conspires with you" (for a more rebellious feel) or "the Universe helps you" (for a gentler, supportive feel).
I am loving this, too! Such a great teaching and sharing! @George Kao, this is definitely a highlight for me. I'd post it on my forehead, but I don't think I'd see it. 😂 (I'll make a beautiful drawing of it in order to to sit with and integrate it and have for future inspiration. Then I'll post it on my forehead.) Thank you so much! 🙏🏾
