Have you been doing anything new (meditation, visualization, I-M, etc.) that you care to share?
I did experience a shift a few weeks ago. It's hard to put into words, but it was like I reached a different level of surrender. I decided to set aside my long list of articles to write, and I tuned in and tried to write more from my heart instead of being so stuck in my head. By putting the list aside, I freed myself from the concerns of the past and future and became more centered in the present. Instead of focusing on what I should write to help others, I put my attention on writing what I perceive as truth. This makes me feel less attached to how an article will be received. I've also been succeeding at getting out of the way more, letting the ideas flow through me with less mental effort.

I'd have to say this was mostly a consequence of a deeper realization I had. Many wise people have said there is no doer in reality and that action can really be effortless. I think I finally "got it." I've been getting a lot more done by holding the perspective that I'm not the one doing any of it.
