If you\’re super busy and feeling like you’re constantly spinning in circles, this blog post is for you. If not, you probably don\’t need to keep reading!
We live in a fast-changing world, and it’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of information, deadlines, and expectations. But let me tell you—there\’s a way to stop the spin and regain control of your mind and life, and you don’t need to drop everything or escape to a meditation retreat.
Here are some key takeaways from my book, \”Xtreme Techniques for Busy People: How to Switch Off – Be Still Naturally\”—because if you’re too busy to slow down, you’ll need these tips more than ever:
Why Do We Spin?
We’re all overwhelmed by data and demands from every direction. Spin happens when:
- There’s too much information, too many options.
- Your brain gets stuck trying to process everything simultaneously, creating a never-ending stress loop.
- Stress spills over into relationships, making it hard to focus on what matters.
Why Slowing Down Doesn’t Work
You might think the solution is to back off, slow down, or retreat from life. But slowing down can make it worse. The more time you give your mind to dwell, the faster it spins.
Others turn to quick fixes—food, alcohol, distractions, and even spirituality—but these only offer temporary relief. So, what\’s the real solution?
The 110% STOP Technique
This technique is for people who need to switch off but don’t have the luxury of time. It helps you stop the spin immediately—anywhere, anytime.
Here\’s how it works:
- Instant Inner Peace: Master the art of instant recovery. No need for a weekend off or meditation caves.
- Simple Techniques: Developed over 35 years of experience in Zen, yoga, and business management.
- No Compromise: Keep your work, relationships, and lifestyle intact while finding balance.
Spin Symptoms
How do you know if you’re spinning too much? Here are some common symptoms:
- Physical: Addictions, exhaustion, low immunity, and body pains.
- Mental: Forgetfulness, mood swings, and frustration.
- Inspirational: Loss of purpose, lack of motivation, and boredom.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re likely in the spin cycle.
The Solution: 3 Key Techniques
Here’s a preview of what you can apply today:
- Categorise Input: Stop reacting to every piece of information or emotion that comes your way. Learn to distinguish between:
- Truth
- Lies
- Emotion
- Filter Choices: Not every decision is worth agonising over. Recognise which options will create more drama and let them go. Simplify your decision-making.
- Time Management in Reverse: Forget the conventional “slow down” advice. Instead, learn to compress time by balancing your mind before starting or ending a task. That’s the power of the 110% STOP method.
Real Talk
I\’m not promising some “Zen Master” level of enlightenment here—just practical, proven techniques for people like us who need to get things done. And trust me, the results are life-changing.
If you’re ready to stop the endless spin and enjoy more clarity, peace, and a better quality of life, then take these tips to heart.
