READY, SET, GO

How ready do I have to be in order to be ready?  I know it’s important to have an idea of what my goals are as they give me direction.  But how much preparation do I need to act.  Often I find myself over-preparing.  I rehearse in my mind, set everything up, formulate my arrangements and ruminate about contingency plans for every ‘what if’ I can possibly conceive occurring.   When it’s time to act, I become so anxious I am paralyzed or I try to control so much no one else has any room to move.  These are not options that work well for me or others.

Today, I will make a decision about my goals for now, prepare a direction and then let go trusting the process to unfold and my adequacy to manage it.  I intend to remain in the flow of spontaneity and creativity, allow myself to be influenced and directed by others’ experiences, and change direction if necessary.  I will get ready, set my feet on the ground, breathe and be centered, and then GO and move forward into action.
