Once I started to move out of urgency I was able to move into the way I actually wanted to be showing up in the world. Prior I was jumping from task to task, pushing, rushing, squeezing in as much as I possibly could - which left me burnt out, hurt and irritable. 

The best example I can think of for this is Miranda Priestly. BTW this is like my favorite movie of all time so please don't come for me LOL, but Miranda is the perfect example of how urgency can have an inverted affect on people. Yes she's a powerhouse, totally her level of success was derived out of who she was - but was the urgency truly serving her highest good? I'm skeptical. 

At one point she talks with Andy about how she is getting divorced once again, starting from scratch, not able to be present with her kids, and constantly running from one meeting to the next. Was this what I thought success was? Of course! I spent most of my life putting these types of people on pedestals, thinking that was the only way I would be successful. 

Looking back on when I first started my business I embodied these thoughts - they ended up manifesting into my reality and I was left exhausted, not present and detached from my body, my business and my family. It wasn't going to work long term, and I knew it. So what was my other option?
