Ep 40: The Intensity Trap: Are You Caught Up in the Swirl?

I'm so busy. I have so much to do! Happy to get sick just so I can rest. I have to work this hard all the time. Moving so fast you lose things, forget things, or your body revolts. Feeling overwhelmed by the craziness of the world. Sucked into the internet, news or social media for more than 15 minutes. Your energy getting sucked up by other people's or the world's drama.

These are all signs you have fallen in to the "Intensity Trap" where the pace you are working and managing life at is not sustainable, but it's become 'normal.' Where you let your valuable energy and time get derailed by the happenings in this world in ways that don't empower you or change a thing, but just rile you up to meet the intensity and craziness.  

There is no question we live in intense times. No question that 'busy' and stretched beyond capacity is what we all feel. But it's all a trap - created by systems that were designed to exploit human capacity, distract feminine power and burn you out - physically and emotionally. But like many traps, you often don't know you are in it. Life this way just seems normal. Or you don't realize you have fallen into the trap until you've wasted hours of your precious life force and time.   

In this episode of Feminine Power Time "The Intensity Trap"Are, #2 in the Breaking Through The Myth of Balance Series, feminine leadership advisor and transformational wisdom teacher Christine Arylo, illuminates:

• The signs you are caught in the Intensity Trap - and living your life at an unsustainable pace that you've made the new normal. You'll never feel balanced if you are always so busy.
  
  
• Why even the smartest people get caught in the Intensity Trap and make themselves sick in order to rest and lead those around them to do the same
  
  
• Ancient Wisdom for how our lives are meant to flow if we are in harmony with the natural order vs. setting our rhythm to the man made pace of burnout - like the ocean our lives are meant to have moment of intensity, moments of stillness, and moments of consistent flow. Not always intense and busy.
  
  
• The power of setting the rhythm of your life to a more natural order and harmony - your days, your weeks, your months and your years. If you aren't consciously setting this for yourself, you are vulnerable to the Intensity Trap.
  
  
• Signs that you are about to get sucked into the world's or a person's intensity in a way that doesn't serve you. And end up wasting your time and life force.
  
  
• Wisdom and super power tools for staying connected and informed in the world without getting overwhelmed by the intensity of it.
