Have you ever noticed that when you feel really good about yourself, everyone else seems so much more likeable? Or you’re scrolling through say Facebook and read a post and think, ‘I totally get where you are coming from!’
When people share their personal experience there is a connection on a deeper level and the words are more compelling and feels that much more familiar to us.
At certain times in our life challenges overwhelm us; yet we journey onwards. We continue to hope, endure and most of us pull through – developing a resilience along the way.
It’s not that easy for everyone though. Some of us get to the fork in the road.
‘Do I keep on keeping on and work it all out myself; or do I put my hand up and ask for help?‘
This again leads to a fork in the road.
‘Do I get help from someone who has been on the road I have travelled?‘ Because, what is most personal is most universal! Or; and I am putting my hand up here , maybe two at different times in my life! ‘Do I buy myriads of courses and download copious amounts of freebies and then I can do it at my own pace…‘. (oh no, not shiny object syndrome!).
The latter is generally from a sense of helplessness, sprinkled with a dusting of hope and what many of us will choose.
But what happens on that road?
The time stretches out, you keep watching the money flowing out with little to no return; and the results are not forthcoming.
That’s when we don’t feel so good about ourselves, we become more cautious; everyone else seems in the distance, we feel lost, stressed, frustrated and overwhelmed and people around us offering ‘help’ don’t get where we are coming from. We can’t imagine they’ve been where we are right now.
Aside from business this can also affect our relationships with friends and family. We may go either way – hibernate/or ignore the situation. Are you hiding what you are doing, not truly conscious of just how much money is going out, time wasted; not aware of how that loss of focus and vision in affecting you and your business?
Another fork in the road.
Do we keep going the way we are going or; dare I go there – get a job and create your business on the side… Oh hell no! Surely we aren’t there, but the road seems endless with no stopping zones for miles.
I know this journey. I’ve been there. It still rears its head. This is where I retreated, felt like I’d failed in my vision to create the business of my dreams, failed my family, failed myself. My relationship was on tend hooks because all my hubby could see what the outgoing and no incoming, 3 years of drought for a farming family can have that effect. I was irritable, short tempered, despondent and my emotions and behaviours were being reflected back by my children. The cycle wasn’t good.
So, what if that road was actually ring road?
It isn’t the endless empty road we see and there is help from someone who has been on the road you wish to travel?
It takes one step … one action … expansion of your vision.
At this moment that may be using every cell in every muscle in your body to take that step. You see, what is most personal is most universal! What one person is feeling; many are feeling. You are not alone and you, like many around you, can make changes in your world, with ease.
The most powerful skill a mum in business can have is mastery over their mindset. Having the ability to flip a thought, feeling or emotion when things aren’t going their way. We are powerful beings, we attract what we think about. We draw from all space and consciousness.
Our self-worth is a common theme that many of us struggle with on a daily basis.
Are you clinging to old ways, excuses, and comfort zones?
Change can be scary but it’s part of your soul’s contract to grow, learn, expand.
It may feel safe but YOU are keeping you stuck. Fear is a prison and sometimes you cannot see the bars because you’re so familiar with them.
Before you take that one step, one action is ask yourself
‘Does this support the life I am trying to create?’, ‘What would it take for me to [be, create, do, receive etc] …?’
…then from the whispers, the inner guidance, the synchronistic events or happenings that come up you can take that step.
You can be on that ring road, build yourself up; so when the next fork comes on the journey you make choices from being in your power.
Your strength comes from within. Look around you, at your family, at the times when you were down but stood up again, and again; and see and feel what you have achieved.
You’ve got this! You can take steps towards your goals in the power of knowing that you have achieved. Use that in creating forward.
My passion is working with mums in business create change, to step up and honour their gifts, get clarity in their business through a soul + strategy process and then share their soul-led businesses to the world.
