Technology Friend or Foe?

I know technology has done a lot of good things. There are also equal arguments that it has done not so great things too. I do know that if you pay cash for things your not so likely to have identity theft. Is it inconvenient? Depends on the person. Some like to have real money on hand others like plastic.

I'm not a fan of having it shoved down every ones throat whether they like it or not. That screams control issues! With the added technology it does take less workers to do somethings. It also gives employers an excuse to outsource positions to save money. There are more cyber crimes with the new technology too.

Your constantly having to chase new technology to keep up in the job market and with the tools arena. The return on investment doesn't seem to add up for the individual. The winner seems to be the companies that produce the technology. I see technology being used more and more as an enslavement tool. I don't see it freeing up much time for free time. It seems that in a lot of ways we are returning to the 1920's and 30's; in the work mentality of working our employees like they're machines instead of human beings.

Instead of there being more progress in how we treat people. It seems like there is more and more disconnect from interaction. I see less relationship between parents and they're children. I see more brain dead parenting where the parents let their children run at will. Instead of teaching their children boundaries and respect. They let them roam like animals at will.

More people are tuned into computers and internet and less into talking to friend and family face to face. This makes it easier to tune out at will.

Time Is An Illusion

Many of us are having a lot more craziness in our lives. It does seem like time is speeding up more and more . Some of it feels like its coming from outside our planet. With the solar system speeding up more and more it feels like we are experiencing the fall out from it.

Most of us are feeling more mentally and physically exhausted. When you wake up in the morning, it feels like the the sun and the time are not in sync. Like the Sunrise is running faster than the time on the clock. When it comes to our evenings. It feels like the Sunset has switched places in the evening. The time on the clocks is later than what the sunset looks like.

I've also been noticing that it seems like certain people are having a harder time staying in the Corporate arena. The time frame between employment and unemployment seems like it's shorter for some and much longer for others. It's almost like the Universe is stepping in and saying your time is coming to a close in the Corporate arena and your time in your own business is starting to open up more and more.

There seems to be more people transitioning from the mainstream to the spiritual journey.

When It's Time to Slow Down

People often grumble about how they're not getting any of the things they want in life. How they're so  stressed out. When you are continually having accidents or health drama. It's the Universes way of saying that you need to learn how to play as hard as you work.

Too many people are workaholics, because of our current economy or they are chasing money in every direction. When we chase something, doesn't it usually run? So why should your dreams or money be any different. When you are actually having fun, things start to come to you more effortlessly.

You start to see less drama in your life. You start to relax more which makes money and dreams want to hang out with you more. When is the last time you went without a TV, computer, cellphone or radio being on? Try to go half a day on the weekends without any of these devices being turned on? Are you more stressed or less stressed? At first you might be more freaked out than anything else. Try doing this for a month and start to see if your feeling more at peace.

Start going camping or visiting a park if the camping thing isn't for you. Start to see how calming the park is? Preferably not on a Holiday! Even visiting a Conservatory can be very relaxing. Whens the last time you enjoyed real food and the people in your life. Where you actually sat down and talked to each other unaccompanied by electronic devices. Did you taste the food or was it kind of a blur.

When people break bones in weird freak accidents it does tend to make you slow down. Here's the thing though you dream that you've been chasing for so long might be right around the corner and if you hadn't had that accident you might never have been able to finally get that dream. Sometimes that's the only way you would have met that person?

Money and our dreams find us when we're finally ready to slow down. This is the hardest thing for people to hear who are very action oriented. It isn't that they're afraid to participate in their own lives, they just have a problem letting life catch up to them.

Are You Happy or Stressed Out?

If your continually having dreams of dread before your have to return to work the next day? Sunday night is usually the most telling. It's that sense of dread that slowly starts to build up, then by Sunday night you could almost cut it with a knife. It might be time to take stock of what makes you happy and what's stressing your out?

Is it the work itself? Your co-workers? The environment? Start to make some changes in your life. Once you've made those changes. See how things feel? Are you happier or still stressed out. By slowly pin pointing what is making your happy and what is not. You will be taking steps to have more control of your own life.

Pay attention to what is relaxing and enjoyable to you. Not everyone likes to hangout with people. Does this make you anti-social? No it just means that those types of activities are not relaxing to you. Do certain people stress you out and other people don't. It might be time to find out who your tribe is! Some people are extroverts (they get energy by being around people). Introverts get exhausted being around people all the time. Some people are in the middle and need some down time and some time being around crowds.

Are you a workaholic and need to start  taking scheduled relaxation time, so you can have more work life balance in your life. Sometimes we get so used to being a hamster on the wheel that we don't know what it actually feels like to relax.

By turning off the news and cell phones, it is a step to reclaiming your personal time. Caller ID is the best source for screening your calls. It's always a good thing to stop answering your phone and start to learn to tune out time wasters. Some are people, telemarketers. Boundaries are a good thing to establish, it is a good way to re stake your claim to your personal time. You never need to apologize for being protective of your down time.

Time

One thing that I've noticed this week is that time seems to be poking along. I've looked at my watch and it seems like it should be hour later than it is. I first started noticing it yesterday and thought well maybe it's a fluke. I'll have to see if this seems to be continuing.

I'm am more jazzed about 2010. I'm glad that we are starting fresh. Last year, the energy seemed to be more about tearing down the old. It will be interesting to see it this trend continues into 2012. Usually my days seem to fly. I am having more fun actually enjoying the slower pace. It's refreshing to be able to have your day go at a leasurely pace.
