Let Go Or Be Dragged: A Book Of Conscious Choices

By Debbie Hyde

As you step into your place of work, what is the initial feeling that wells up inside of you? Do you have freedom to work in a way that allows you to flow and express yourself fully? What type of world are you fuelling through your choices? Are your skills helping or harming society?Every day we are given the opportunity to start anew and to take a conscious choice to focus our attention of what fuels us and makes us feel us alive or else we can find ourselves drained by the activities we undertake or the people we connect with.We spend years of our lives working, so how you use your mental, emotional and physical energy reserves is vitally important; in the wrong setting, working within restrictive and harmful structures and systems, it's so easy to find yourself drained of life. Think about it, how many times have come back from work feeling mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted? Too many eh! Now dig a bit deeper, what exactly is it that drains you? This is a significant clue to uncovering where you need to make a change and it can act as the springboard to exploring new ways of using your skills which allow you to be in your own flow more often. We weren't put on this Earth to struggle and you don't have to experience this energy drain every day. You always have a conscious choice to remove yourself from the situation and use your skills in a whole new way. The amount of constraints and restrictions on personal freedom and flow that employees around the world are under is just staggering and can be hugely damaging to both mental and physical health. Unnatural working practices which individuals unconsciously accept and then adapt to have a significant impact on their wellbeing and, in order to manage this, individuals mentally disconnect from their workplaces and their customers. When you let people flow and allow them to follow their natural instinct of helping without restriction or fear of retribution, then an environment of deep care can take root and flourish.Change is happening all around us and it is affecting business in a big way. Simultaneous shifts in the minds and behaviours of consumers and businesses alike are transforming how we live and how we work. Underneath the surface, shifts have been occurring and the cracks are starting to show. Industry is being pushed and pulled from all directions which means a number of organisations will not survive in their current form and certain skills will become redundant. Specific industries and individuals are still in denial which means these changes will hit them particularly hard when they forced to radically alter the way they do business, however for those who see opportunity through change, it can provide a welcome release from the binds of restrictive practices and in doing so unleash innovation and provide more meaningful work. It's time to let go or be dragged. The new models are there and they are growing rapidly. These early adopters will become the more mature businesses of the century, and in turn they will spawn thousands of new jobs and working opportunities which put people before profit. So the challenge is for all of us now to let go because the longer we continue to keep working for the tired and traditional inward looking businesses which put growth, targets and quarterly shareholder reports at the top of their agenda, then the more we prolong our pain. Collectively and individually we have everything available for us all to move to a more progressive, integrated and forward looking economy which is inclusive, contemporary and value driven. How painful does it have to be for you to let go? Will it take an illness, redundancy or the pain from a constant ache of emptiness inside to nudge you off your current path or will you now let go willingly? One by one we are being called to make a choice.One conscious choice sets you on the path to freedom.
