Being Always ON…
“If the spirit doesn’t move you, sit down and move your spirit.” David Schwartz, The Magic of Thinking Big
Wherever, whenever…instant messaging, blogs, mobile phones, social networking sites e.g a previous article in the New Scientist talked about research that has determined that being “always connected” drops your IQ about 10 points. It has the same deleterious effect on IQ as losing a night’s sleep or smoking marijuana. (It is a bit ironic that the technology that is supposed to be helping us is perhaps wasting more brain power than it is saving…) This is NOT what I mean by being “ON”.
Being Always ON is when you are engaged in life and embracing its opportunities and challenges with infectious enthusiasm. It’s about getting pleasure and satisfaction out of your existence by being involved and excited about what is happening. Things, people, fitness, events, jobs, pastimes can all be interesting and involving if you decide to be “ON” in your life rather than “OFF”
“Accept no one’s definition of your life, but define yourself…”
If you are “ON”, you are up for it, whatever it is! No hanging about until you are in the mood, you do something about the situation in hand, you engage and act straight away even if you don’t have a plan, readiness means good and interesting things will probably happen. Energy and decisiveness “FLOW” and omit highly attractive vibes…
“Flow is about being completely involved in an activity for it’s own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. Your whole “being” is involved, and you’re using your skills to the utmost.”
Mihaly Csikszentmihaly, Flow
In conclusion, Being always ON means experiencing the true power of NOW…and as I always say at WOW Fitness – Start NOW Feel WOW!
