The energy we need to show up for our lives sometimes seems daunting. In my professional work I have the opportunity to work with large groups of people all at once. Given that I spend hours in a room with many people all in different head spaces, focusing it can feel a bit chaotic. It is having a particular purpose that we are able to effectively harness our collective energy. As the facilitator of this experience I have had to learn how to become efficient at guiding people’s focus and attention. As I grow in my relationship with God I see that I can be a gift to myself and others in any area of my life when I am effectively cognizant of my own energy and its impact on others. I used to think that meant adjusting who I am to please others and get their approval. I tried that a myriad of ways from things I said to things I didn’t say, actions I took and actions I refrained from. But it wasn’t until I learned the value of bringing my heart’s intention to see the presence of God in everyone I came across did I enable my energy to be used effectively. It is the heart space where God and I spend our daily date time each morning which I intend to bring into all the spaces of the rest of my day. It is a constant dance of on and off throughout the day and I feel most effective in the world when I know I have more on than off. We are even able to measure the resonance of our hearts with machinery and see the scientific evidence of our impact on others. If I spend my date time bringing my heart to my relationship with God first thing in my day, I have a much greater chance to staying in effective alignment with my heart the rest of the day. I am most grateful that God enjoys the dance and is showing me on my dates how to take joy in it as well. There is no expectation of perfect effectiveness but a joy in the willingness and courage to give it my best shot whatever that means in the moment I am in. It is the best we all can do.
