Time is on my sidepar Simon Beauséjour
At one point in my life I took piano lessons. I do possess some musical talent, but mostly on percussion and not on melodic instruments; so learning piano certainly presented its challenges. I will always remember one thing that Marielle, the class teacher, said one day: "OK let's leave it at that for tonight and it will mature inside of you between now and next week". And it did... WOW! what a revelation!
When you concentrate on a subject and then leave it alone for a while, your mind and body work on their own and actually create an incredible behind-the-scenes miracle that makes it grow and evolve until you get back to it...
This changes everything then! Having managed to grasp and somewhat tame this newfound supernatural ability of mine, I started to trust time being on my side and learned to let go once I had realized that I had attained a plateau in my efforts or in my learning curve. Imagine working on your goals with less stress, more confidence and an invisible power that helps you create better results... Thank you Marielle!
Now, how do you deal with your plateau periods? Are you conscious of them? Do they bring unnecessary stress? Do you feel like you're not productive enough and create stress over your deadline dates that seem to close in on you even faster?
The hidden energy of your plateau periods is in fact one that will show up unexpectedly and at the best moment. This life coach says : "Do not underestimate such power that works discretely within you". It is a part of you that you can count on while your conscious mind is busy preparing other parts of the same project, or even working on something completely different.
So prepare yourself for more and more last minute surprises; and as you become more aware of them each time they show up, pay close attention to all the details. They will allow you to feel, trust and eventually manage that powerful resource and become a master of your "sleeping intelligence". Do this as often as you consciously can, and watch successful outcomes to your projects become a lot more regular in your life.
For sure, mastering this art takes time... but then again, just by reading this you already planted the seed that got your subconscious mind to start working at it on its own...
So, sleep on it! And wake up to the next phase of your projects with new ideas and renewed enthusiasm.
Who knows? You could even start playing piano sooner than you might expect!
