Are you wondering how long you have to follow “The Rules” for operating effectively in the world?
Maybe you want to follow that temptation to analyze your boss’s perception of you, or wonder if your lover is mad at you or not, or if you are going to get that promotion.
You know about the rules, and you follow them most of the time, but sometimes you are tempted to break them. You might say to yourself…”ya, the rules are important, but, I just have this one really good reason to break them, just this one time, for this one really good reason, just this once.”
I’ve got great news! You can break the rules, any time you’ve got extra physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energy to waste. Any time you are willing to be less effective, less mentally focused, less balanced, less aware of your own needs and own truth and less physically healthy.
So obviously I’m being a little bit facetious (you might say obnoxious)…But actually…This is a dynamic that happens for people quite often at an unconscious level.
Ever hear someone say, “I just need to focus on myself for a little while?” That was a good idea! They should have kept up with it! But people usually don’t. They focus on themselves for a little while (a rudimentary way of following “The Rules“), feel and do better, then let things slip and start to lose ground again. Sound familiar?
Being really conscious with the rules, understanding how they apply in different situations, mastering how to apply them then keeping really high standards for yourself of maintaining your own energies is how you start to really gain ground in life.
