I struggle to get my words out. It’s been that way recently while I was overwhelmed with a cross-country move.
Numb.
Stuck.
Blocked.
Frustrated.
Maybe you’ve been there, too. Life is going along, and then all of a sudden—BAMM—it stops. Nothing is moving any longer.
You ask yourself…
How did I get here?
What did I do wrong?
Why am I not making progress?
This question has been at the forefront of my mind as I navigate a period of feeling disconnected and uninspired. Lately, my passion for life has felt blah, flat on the ground while I walk all over it. I noticed that I was sleeping more, walking less, and not even eating. I couldn’t wait until 8 p.m. for the day to wrap up so I could crawl into bed. I wanted the day to be over, and over fast!
At the same time, I knew that something deeper was calling me to reconnect and rediscover the joy and inspiration that once fueled my days. This is when the transition begins, with the shift from external to internal and finding fulfillment WITHIN.
Self-awareness isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a fundamental aspect of personal development and success. Understanding oneself becomes increasingly crucial in a world filled with distractions and noise. Self-awareness is recognizing and understanding one’s thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviors. It involves introspection, reflection, and an honest assessment of oneself. It’s like holding up a mirror to our inner selves, allowing us to see ourselves more clearly and objectively.
In the dynamic realm of entrepreneurship, success is often measured by tangible metrics such as revenue, market share, and profit margins. While these benchmarks undoubtedly play a crucial role, they only scratch the surface of what it truly means to thrive as a business owner. Beneath the surface lies a realm of untapped potential – the realm of spiritual growth.
Frequently, within the comfort of our familiar environment, achieving clarity can be a challenge. However, when the usual routines and constants in our lives are temporarily set aside, it becomes possible to view life from a broader perspective and engage more deeply in our personal healing journey. Furthermore, being away from our homes grants us respite from the constant worries of daily responsibilities, affording us a broader capacity to concentrate on self-care. This past week, I joined a dear client and colleague in Mount Shasta for an incredible transformational journey within.
A year ago I was given a new book idea. And, I didn’t want to write it. I knew it was a story that needed to be told yet, instead, I asked God, can’t I write something else? Perhaps something lighter, more cheery? I intuitively heard back, “You have already written that. It’s time for this.”
My reaction? Well, let’s just say it wasn’t the most enthusiastic. Yes, my response to the Divine, the Almighty Spirit, presenting me with the conception of a book was, well, rather dismissive.
