Centering on your Super Power

• Do you ever feel as though there is so much on your desk that you simply can’t find your joy at work?
• Do you ever wonder why you got into this work in the first place?
• Do you ask yourself why you wanted to be a leader or a professional or a (fill in the blank) anyway?
• Do you wonder if the quality of your work is suffering because of this ongoing sense of “overwhelmed-ness” or “powerless-ness” or “not-getting-ahead-ness?”

Enter Wonder Worker!!!!!! 

Oh yeah, those mythical creatures, those “Avengers,” don’t really exist, do they. It is always nice to think that someone with more power than we have will swoop in to rescue us, and will save the day. It is always helpful to imagine that someone else knows better than we do. That someone else has this thing figured out! That someone else has that expertise we need. 

And maybe that is true, although that expertise doesn’t seem likely to be of the “super power” variety.

Unless you believe in God –Perhaps God won’t just swoop in and rescue us. But perhaps reconnecting with our Higher Power can help us access some of that power. At a minimum, and perhaps more likely, perhaps reconnecting will bring us some wisdom, and hope, and a reconnection with what really matters. Perhaps it will give us perspective, which can make all the difference in our emotional state.

Even those who don’t believe in God generally have some center of meaning in their lives. 

·         So, what is yours?

• How will you connect?
• What gives value to your life?
• What are you invested in?
• What makes life worth living?
• Where is that “center” for your life that keeps everything in balance?
• How will you reconnect?

Perhaps you can draw a picture of that “Center of Meaning,” take some time to meditate on and visualize its role in your life, and then:

• Draw around it all of the other things that are pulling you away from your Center.
• Draw them as they are or as what they feel like now.
• And then draw them as you would like them to be.
• Now close your eyes and visualize moving them into position around your Center of Meaning, into the positions that you would like them to be, or that your Higher Power might like them to be. Breathe deeply, and go back to work refreshed and operating from a different place.
