Business meets Spirituality

Business meets Spirituality

I attended Arianna Huffington’s “Thrive” event in New York City last week and one message was very clear. We have to re-connect with ourselves. Through “me time” and meditation we can get back in touch with our higher self and thus tap into the power of universal intelligence. It may sound a little strange for some of you, but trust me if you give it a try you will feel and see the difference. This is not a far fetch concept any longer. The matter of the fact is studies have shown that companies who incorporate yoga and meditation for their employees during the workweek have lower health care cost, fewer sick days and higher productivity. What does it tell us? When we re-connect, meaning just taking a little time every day to sit quiet, relax and listen to that inner small voice, we refresh and replenish our body and mind. We are more creative, more productive and may come up with our next “million dollar” idea.

So, I invite you to take 5 minutes (or more if you wish) every day this week and sit still in silence. Either do meditation or go out for a short nature walk and notice the effect it has on you. Write your experience into your journal. I believe if fortune 500 companies have success by incorporating this strategy into their programs, it would be a good idea to do this in our own lives and businesses.

Seedlings of Success

If you want to harvest vegetables in the summer, you must plant the seeds in the spring. The same applies to success. If you want to be successful in any area of your life you got to take action (planting the seeds). If you want to lose weight for example, you have to change your diet and have to start exercising. If you want to have more income, you can either work more hours or create new products or services that you can sell. These are the seeds that you are planting and eventually you will see the results – your success.

The power of "NOW"

Today is the beginning of the rest of my life. I can start all over again. I acknowledge that I don’t have power in the past or in the future, I only have power in the NOW. If my thoughts linger in the past, often replaying a bad situation over and over again, I am filled with regrets. On the other hand if my thoughts are in the future, I may experience fear, uncertainty or doubts. I don’t have power in the future, because I am not there yet and I don’t know if things work out the way I imagined. So let’s stay in the moment. Only in the “NOW” can I plan and take ACTION. I cannot undo the past and I cannot change something in 2 years or 2 days. I can only change something NOW. I have power NOW. I will take action NOW.
