Yoga, Surfing and Task Completion
Yoga and Surfing (Soul Mates)
The first time I ever paddle out on my board and sat waiting 15 minutes for a wave to come along
I knew I had found a place of peace, tranquility and oneness, just like I experience when practicing yoga.

MindsetOut in the ocean - nothing else exists when you are in that zone….
It is if you've made a special agreement with the ocean…
You have permission to let go of everything and just be with this dynamic force of nature

awareness level through yoga….

Calm, Preparation, Results…What follows your calmness is preparation for the next move…With surfing, it is turning your board around and paddling out to catch the upcoming wave. With yoga, it is you, your breath and the movement to come

Calm, Preparation, ResultsEither way, your focus is solely on the eminent event and your successful (or not) completion of it
If you don't succeed, you stop, learn, re-focus and feel better prepared for the next time

What if we can apply this mindset to our lives in task completion?
Would we be more successful in seeing things though, more accomplished…?
With that in mind, I invite you for 1 day, that you give this mindset a go!

For each and every task you need to accomplish, be clear on your outcome
Do with oneness between you and
task at hand
Not letting anything distract you (No email, no phone, etc)
Aim to see the task through to
conclusion no matter what

Apply the same mindset for the next task...
Keep practicing until it becomes an automatic way of being and working….
Guarantee you'll have better output in a shorter time span
Leaving more time for you to do other things. How good is that….?

If you do need some help with focusing - stop doing the task and visual yourself in the ocean on your board
Its dawn, you are watching the sunrise and the wave approach –
Are you present to that sense of oneness. Then get ready, set and go....
Namaste...
