Today I’m going to share one of my personal struggles with you, and how I’m slowly, but surely, overcoming it. If you’re an interrupter, or know one, today’s message will help you.

Are you an interrupter? Or am I the only one?

I’ve struggled with this my entire life. Part of it has to do with the fact I get so excited. I love to talk, and sometimes it feels as though I can’t even help but interrupt myself and others.

HOWEVER…it IS possible.

I’m a work in progress on this topic, but this is what’s helped me.

LISTEN to your heart. Then listen with your heart.

Where in your life are you interrupting yourself?

Stay focused on ONE thing at a time.

Is impatience causing you to stop yourself?

It’s time to stop suffering from this. Remember, suffering is a choice.

It’s optional.

If you no longer choose to suffer from interrupting yourself or others, try the following…

1. Pause. Take a deep breath of inspiration.

2. Focus on your expected outcome.

Get clear on this. Oftentimes interruptions are simply distractions. Being very clear about what you’re focusing on will help minimize distractions and interruptions.

Move straight ahead. One step at a time. One sip at a time.

3. Listen to yourself and others.

This includes listening to the feedback from your own life. This allows you to stay tuned in to your expected outcome.

What’s it telling you? What adjustments need to be made to continue to move forward…without interruption?

What are you doing? Why are you doing it?

Stay tuned in to your heart.

Interruption cuts off valuable energy, and momentum.

Today’s the day to STOP…
