"A study by a researcher at the University of California,
San Diego says that by 2015, the sum of media asked for
and delivered to consumers would take more than
FIFTEEN HOURS PER DAY to see and hear!!
That is equal to 6.9 million gigabytes of information, or a
daily consumption of nine DVDs worth of data per
person per day."

90% of the world’s data was
generated in the last two years!

Calming the Chaos by managing
your PERSONAL ENERGY rather
than TIME or STRESS
Section II: A New Paradigm

1. AWARENESS of what impacts your
energy positively and negatively.
2. Making conscious decisions to do
things that INCREASE ENERGY and
eliminate or reduce things that
DRAIN ENERGY.

3. Managing your work life by being
PRODUCTIVE rather than BUSY.
4. Employing HIGHER
CONSCIOUSNESS.
5. Employing SKILLS AND PRACTICES
that improve energy, mental clarity,
order and ease in life.

“How often do you feel overwhelmed by the demands you place
on yourself and those placed on you by your family, friends, co-
workers, and life in general? The real problem is not everything
that’s being asked of you but forgetting that you have the
power to choose how you will respond to everything that’s
being asked of you. Claiming your ability to choose is the
dynamic difference between feeling pushed and pulled
around all the time and intentionally living – sometimes dancing
even – to the rhythm of holy empowerment.
This brings us to a fundamental question: Who is in charge of
your life?”
