| By Catherine Franz E-mails come in, some
go out, and some sit for future action. Two days pass, ten emails
wait future action. Another two days go by and the number is now
twenty. A week later, the number doubled. You wonder if a rabbit
is mating inside your computer. People are phoning you, “Did you
get my e-mail about X?”
Is there a better way?
Yes, heaven’s sake, yes.
You delete the emails with time sensitive information, now
expired. You punch the delete key with a feeling of sadness of what
could have been. Yet, in a guilty way it feels good, the list is
getting shorter.
One by one, you tackle the next and then the next. In one
e-mail, you click to read more on a web page. Another is one of
your favorite e-newsletters. Another sparks your writing and you
begin to outline an Internet article either in your mind or on
paper.
Before you know it, a few hours flew by. What you intended to
accomplish didn’t happen. It still lingers on your list. Now you
have to stay late. Or maybe you feel pressured to work through
lunch and grudgingly write an e-mail to your buddy saying you can’t
make lunch today – for the fourth time.
You feel a tightening in your stomach. Your inner dialogue is
irritated and giving you its intrusive feedback. You unsubscribe
from something, anything that is in front of you, it doesn’t matter
what. Nonetheless, there remain more e-mails needing your
attention. You give up with a promise to return soon and return to
working on your project.
Emails come in, you delete some, you answer some, and you let
some sit for a future review. Doesn’t it seem like you’ve been here
before. Wait. You have. The cycle continues.
Is this affecting what you attract in your life? Come on, you
know the answer. You know it is. What can you do about it? Emails
are always coming in.
What would it feel like to have an empty in-box? To some people
this may create a scary feeling. Maybe even unfold a fear. The
same fear people have when they avoid finishing reading books.
Authors show it by not finish writing a book or even books they
start. They fear there’s nothing on the other side when they are
done and don’t want to let go. This is ego talking. Let me ask
you, and you will need to get honest, “Does the amount of mail you
receive an ego measurement?” If you express to others how much
email you get, then I guarantee ego is talking.
For a few minutes, let’s discuss the possibility of having a
clean in-box every morning. Okay, what is tightening in your body?
Possibly, it is appearing in your stomach, your face, or your back.
Is it your belief that it’s impossible to have a clean in-box
because you’ve tried and failed?
Negative feelings are past beliefs showing their energy. Until
you let go of that belief new energy is unable to step in. You are
limiting the desires you want to attract. Each e-mail is pulling
your energy down – weighing you down like a swimmer with a ball and
chain tied to their ankle. Until you drown in e-mails.
The only way to uncover the beliefs that are pulling you down is
to make it a goal to uncover their attachment. The in-box is a
great place to begin. Quickly decide how important each e-mail is.
Let go of each one as quickly as possible. Place the e-mails
requiring a “longer than now” action in its appropriate folder and
schedule it as a task. If someone writes and their question or
situation isn’t clear, toss it back to them to clarify; don’t try to
figure it out.
An empty in-box will raise your consciousness. Complete this new
habit and see for yourself. Trust that if the universe says you
need it, it will again appear. Probably in a different way but it
will appear. When you begin with choice, energy expands and
overrides its historical negative energy. It frees spirit and
attracts more.
If you accidentally delete an e-mail, write and ask them to send
it again or just let it go. If it’s that important, they will send
it again. Don’t even blink about it.
Are you ready to make a change in your life? Begin by making
fast in-box decisions. Unleash your power with quick and efficient
decisions. Trust your gut…and then watch new energy arrive into
your life.
Clearing out e-mails works the same for clearing out your in-box
at work. Start each day with a clean in-box and creativity and
productivity is guaranteed to flourish. The universe always
delivers more of what you desire when there is available space for
it. I’m sure you have felt this energy before create a friendship
with it. The friendship will ignite your desires.
