My motivation for creating The Art of UnBusy and the upcoming program, ParadiseNow Mom: 21 Days to UnBusy is simple: I want to have big problems, and I want you to have them, too.
I don’t want my biggest problems to be split ends, my bills, laundry, anything me-focused. I want my problems to be huge: the state of midwifery services in Senegal, children’s rights in Nepal, and equipping teens in the United States with tools to become entrepreneurs so that they can save their country.
We all have gifts that can help heal big problems. Through learning how to manage our little lives and get control of the mini-universe between our ears, we can free up time and energy that is being spent in ways that don’t serve anyone (worry, playing catch-up, etc.).
If you can create systems in your home and in your life that free up 30 minutes a night, you can turn those 30 minutes into a venture, program, or book that can change the life of someone in your community or the whole world. For once, you’ll be able to take your eyes off of the mess in front of you (because it will be gone) and look up and see your mission in life. For mothers that means seeing ourselves, our children, our husbands clearly for the first time. We can learn how to serve without become a martyr or a slave. We learn how to take care of ourselves so that we can nurture others JOYFULLY.
I hope that big problems on their way for you and that the little ones that consume you fade into the light.
