Interview

This time is a perfect portal into more productivity after the chaos of the summer months. In this aquarian age it is time to start looking at productivity in a new light. What is it and how can we achieve it ? We believe being productive is daily pushing closer to your vision but also enjoying the Now. But what is productivity to you? Where are you frustrated and feel stuck? JOURNAL for 5 minutes about this.

Here are a 8 statements on productivity. We ask you to contemplate on these statements and how you can incorporate them into your life. These are our “rules” for productivity.

1. SELF PRACTICE: Your self practice needs to be a part of your work. This is what keeps you on your best game. However your practice looks like: meditation, daily movement, breathwork, morning reading, rituals. Don’t work yourself to death, work on your radiance instead. Strive for a sustainable lifestyle that affords you time to recuperate, recharge and be effective in the long-term.

2. ACTION & INTUITION: Be proactive and follow PINGS. Pings are downloads from the universe that are giving you hints on what you need to do. If you don´t listen to them you are taking a longer route to your vision. So, when you get an idea or instant flash, follow it and take action (jara talks about this in her interview). You can influence the world around you so don’t spend your time just reacting to external events and circumstances. Take charge and assume responsibility for your life by following your intuition.

3. VISION: We love visions and if you have taken SELF MASTERY, this you know. They are such a powerful tool and the best compass when navigating life. Don’t spend your life working aimlessly, tackling whatever job is at hand. Have a vision for the future and align your actions accordingly to make it into a reality. If you have a vision, improve it.

4. PRIORITISE: To be productive we need to master prioritisation. You can prioritise all parts of your life when you think about it. Start each day and month prioritising certain things that need to get done and also things that truly light you up! Because the better you feel, the easier everything is. To prioritise your work and passions, focus on what’s important, meaning the things that bring you closer to your vision of the future. Don’t get distracted by “”urgent” but unimportant tasks and random facebook messages, calls and email, you can get to that later. Do one to three things that push you closer to your vision before answering that call or that message.

5. CO-OPERATE AND DELEGATE: Open up to working with people and collaborating more to create new interesting things. We all have different strenghts that when combined make magic. Adopt the guiding principle that in a group, the contributions of many will far exceed those of any individual. This will help you achieve goals you could never have reached on your own. Then you can also think about delegating in your life and by that doing more of the things you like and love while still creating big things. Think win-win. When negotiating with other, don’t try to get the biggest slice of the cake, but rather find a division that is acceptable to all parties. You will still get your fair share, and build strong positive relationships in the process.

6 MEETINGS: In the corporate world, there are endless meetings that sometimes really don´t amount to anything. Also for entrepreneurs and artists, meetings can be very beneficial or a total waste of time. Pick your meetings well as they are not all productive. And ALWAY give them a designated time as they can go on forever and take up your days.

7. LISTEN AND COMMUNICATE: We often spend ALOT of time fearful and imagening what other people are thinking or trying to see the future. This kills productivity. Rather we need have clear communications, this saves so much time. ASK! SAY! EXPLAIN! Then listen carefully to the other person.

8. DRAMA: Leave the drama on your meditation mat each morning. We are strong believers in processing feelings and making space for them, but they can also take all the space and drain your vision. SO! There is and always will be some drama going on in our lives. Almost ALWAYS! So, what we need to do is give ourselves a moment before or after our meditation to feel those feelings, and then politely leaving those problems, issues, drama, worries ON THE MAT and heading out to your day. Else they will drain your energy, take up all your time and you will miss beautiful moments in that day.

Read this over a couple of times and really explore how you can be more efficient and have more energy. Use the practice videos to support you on this journey and the interview as inspiration!
