S.M.A.R.T.E.R Pacing • Discern Sacred Contracts, Dreams, Habits, Goals and Tasks

Pacing is a skill. Yes, 99% of parents/school/society failed to teach it to us. But it can be learned in adulthood. Never too late!

If you try to build everything + all at once + by yourself without pacing, there are 4 possible outcomes:

You're alchemizing and unleashing your masterpiece, not slapping together a sandwich. It's supposed to take time. It was always supposed to be your way. 

To make best use of that time, to sustain momentum, creative longevity, sanity, fulfilling impact and a delightful journey, plus visible/palpable progress that feels freeing, 4-know and discern the difference between Sacred Contracts, dreams, habits, goals and tasks. ⤵︎

REALM

⁰ In case it was stolen from you, I'm officially restoring your full permission and human right to have ideas, for the simple joy and pleasure of having them.

PROPELLED BY
¹ Nano-tasks require reality checks – I know, I know, reality sucks. But you are here in this reality. Without them, it'll just suck more.

FREE WILL
² Both Karma and Birth Chart are completely outside of the person, ie outside of your control. Trying to control them = generating more of your own suffering.

DURATION
³ If something takes years, then you're in Nowhere Land, between Select Dreams and Mini-Habits. You can:

1. Release it back into the ether allow it to expand and unfold on its own, or
2. Break it down into a smaller Mini-Habit, Micro-goal, or Nano-task.

DIFFICULTY
⁴ If nano-task is not customized to you, the mind misgauges it for a micro-goal and inherits it's high difficulty, high resistance, even high overwhelm.

INNER PRESSURE
⁵ A sign of awakening is often a sudden, very high pressure from within, inexplicable to the mind and impalpable to the 5 senses. 
⁶ It's actually quite peaceful living as a rock... but then again, you're not really living if you're not alive.
⁷ After a life-changing catalyst or transformational retreat, that overflowing wish to create a global revolution that touches millions, that's "lava dream" asking to flow from the ethereal into the physical through you.
⁸ Flagellating yourself for not working on your masterpiece when you're ill or unwell from crushing childcare and/or eldercare is a huuuuuuge waste of energy. See the little smoke from the volcano chimney? There is sign of life. Your dream(s) are not dead, dead. They'll still be there when you regain bandwidth.
⁹ The inner pressure are the same for soul-aligned and non-soul-aligned Mini-Habits, so you might as well go for soul-aligned.
¹⁰ Nobody likes to have their butt chomped, but it's not nearly as bad as having your head alligator chomped. This explains why we avoid scaffolding lifelong beneficial habits... we're waiting for the alligator.
¹¹ Especially if you're in a good place and have enough money, Micro-Goals don't really work because the pressure from within is meh-low. This explains why we relapse into DWG rules to try to s(t)imulate high drive/motivation, fueled by threat of expulsion and/or persecution.
¹²Generic nano-tasks are a little more survivable than DWG Micro-Goals, but the threat of persecution for non-conformity still makes it hard.
