I loved writing the newsletter last week, it flowed very easily from my mind to the page. When things flow, when you are in your flow, you are at your best – it feels light, it feels easy and I know it will have resonated with exactly the people that needed to hear it 🙂
As usual, my Pondering’s made me Ponder even more: the responses that came, the conversations that were sparked by the things I said, the things that I have done, my intentions that I set, they all made me reflect again on my Life and my Business.
Over the years, many of you will have seen me change, grow, expand, take different paths, embrace different modalities, but they do all revolve around Mind, Body and Soul, for that is where my passion lies. However, what you may not have seen is how well I have come to KNOW myself and this knowledge allows me write my own Rules.
You see, although I would never describe myself as a Business Coach, in my Coaching Business, I do attract entrepreneurs, clients who are lost, stuck and unsure of the way to go, but my coaching with them is the same as the coaching I would do with anyone.
It has to start from a place of Knowing Yourself, I mean truly, deeply knowing yourself. Knowing what your values are, what your beliefs are, what you truly love, what your passion is – if you don’t know these things it is impossible to design an Extraordinary Life!
If you let society’s rules decide your values, beliefs, loves and passions, then I guarantee you a life that feels hard, heavy, a struggle, an uphill battle, stressful, draining and, to be perfectly honest, a life lacking Joy!
Isn’t it time to question society’s rules that we accept as truths? These rules can be our perceptions on what a good mother looks like, or daughter, or son, or friend, or boss, or employee…….these rules do not have to be Your rules, it’s your decision, your choice, no one else’s.
Now, your default if you do not really KNOW yourself (Values, beliefs, loves, passions etc) is to accept society’s rules as your own, without really thinking about them, or even questioning them – we’ve seen such a lot of this the past few months in the run up to the general election.
So, when it comes to my Life, my Business, I started with lots of self-exploration and getting to really know ME so that I can work hard at creating something I love, not what I think OTHERS want me to create…….why not have a go? It certainly brings a lot more JOY into my life.
