Upstream Effort or Flow? Less Is More and is Busy Bullshit?
Inner Satisfaction or External Success?
Achieve more by doing less.
Downstream Effort simply flows with your core values.
What matters to you? At your core?
Freedom, stability, connection, gratitude, consistency, reflection, compassion?
What is authenticity?
Owning our inner values and feelings unapologetically
and then acting on them.
Less is More. Honour how you want to feel
Not always easy but always worth it
Be, Absorbed and Engaged by The Flow of Life.
Effortless, simple, syncronicity, inner satisfaction, integrity and authenticity.
Let Go and make room for inner alignment.
Create The Inner Space
Slow down, stream and flow,
Come Home, embody it and Live It.
Achieve more by doing less.
Search your heart and see, the way to do is to be.
Bethany Butzer, Author, Speaker, Researcher & Lecturer at the University of New York in Prague explains the concept of "down stream effort" and how to live life and achieve goals effectively and efficiently without over exertion. The majority of Bethany’s professional work involves teaching, writing, and doing research in the field of positive psychology, which emphasizes the development of human strength and potential. She received her PhD in psychology from the University of Western Ontario, Canada.
Bethany has worked in the corporate world and in academia, and she has also spent several years as an entrepreneur. From 2013 to 2015 she was a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard Medical School, where she studied the effects of yoga in school settings.
Bethany currently lives in Prague, where she is teaching an undergraduate positive psychology course at the University of New York in Prague and continuing to study yoga and mindfulness for youth. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
