Calming the Chaos

PART I: INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS

Manage your Energy rather than your Time
Why planners and organizer systems don’t matter, you are the key to whether or not they work.
How injury forced Jackie into realizing it was time to make a dramatic change in her life.

Acting in alignment with your purpose you are managing your energy.

New paradigm Having it all has been up-leveled to Doing it all! – Even retired people are “busy”
Not _____ enough is part of the human condition. We are always seeking MORE
We are always connected – “Our neurology has not kept pace with our technology”
Busy is a mindset – Are you just busy or are you productive?

Core values + your mission + vision + goals = alignment
Saying YES to the unknown is a powerful tool in manifesting
Efforting versus allowing
Your connection with source/God/Universe is more important than anything else

- What do you most often say about time?
You have the power to choose.
