How to take the pressure off

by Savitree Kaur

The pressure is on... to get things done, to share when you don't feel worthy, to communicate something difficult, to figure out how to feel better, to alleviate the overwhelm and make a decision... to not take things too seriously and give yourself permission to enjoy life. I share with you a few powerful, actionable quotes.

When the time is on you, start, and the pressure will be off. --One of 5 Sutras of the Aquarian Age.

I heard my 16 year old son saying this several times the week before we went away for winter break - dare I say, it was his mantra for the week -  and he had an overwhelming amount of work to get done with an unreasonable amount of commitments to manage. He started, and he completed.

When you want to learn something, read about it.
When you want to understand it, write about it.
When you want to master it, teach it.
--Yogi Bhajan

This quote changed my life. It gave me the permission to teach when I didn't feel I was good enough.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. --Rush song Freewill.

Decide to choose intentionally rather than by default. Overthinking is just your ego wanting to keep its current job as head honcho. Your ego exists to be your servant, not your boss.

​Choose the wellness approach over sickness; build your life rather than fight your life. It's easier on the wallet and makes for a much better quality of life that is both healthful and on your own terms. It puts the power back into your hands and cultivates self~ love and authority.
And yes, allow yourself to enjoy life. In Ayurveda, one of the 3 tenets of good health is BLISS. Because without it, are we truly well?

​Pressure? Let it out, make a choice, start, and enjoy the ride.
