Leading Your Life and Business Through Inner Wisdom and Trust

I am struggling with myself these days my friends! I have this constant inner battle of selfishness and ambition, battling at odds with each other.

The selfishness wants to slow down, do less, be more and savour reading, journaling, consuming a course and more coffee......

The ambition wants to work out, write, create, sell, make eggs before taking Georgia to camp (a nice breakfast in the morning), do do dooooooo.

And being squeezed in between I bounce back and forth between feeling deflated, frustrated, over tired and over caffeinated on one side and short bursts of beautiful flow, spacious juicy indulgence and getting things done without being done myself on the other side......

So what's the balance here?

How or why do I create both and better yet how do I shift towards more flow, more relaxation, more softness...... Among the doing and the being?

I STOP and discern on which actions are going to make the most impact. Reduce the "to-do" list and increase the best return for available time and energy.

What will feel "right" at bedtime? That I can drift off to sleep knowing I showed up today in the places that truly matter to my heart and my "eternal life view"?

(Eternal Life being either "How will this matter at my last breath / How will this matter in Heaven?")

So - for "selfishness" the reflections are:

• Am I burnt out?

• Am I lacking inspiration?

• Do I need to rest my spirit to expand a little?

• How much time is reasonable to make space without dropping my responsibilities to - my family, my business, my clients

For Ambition the reflections are:

• Am I trying to do too much?

• What is actually necessary? (versus a distraction or just extra for no good reason?)

• What can I let go of or do later?

• At bedtime, what will feel right and led to have completed?

You look to fill your spirit and spread out your energy. One of my favourite self created "commercial jingles," as I call them, is:

TIME FOR EVERYTHING BUT NOT AT THE SAME TIME.

What will most fill my spirit and where is my energy best spent right now.

This is where relaxing the nervous system helps slow things down from reactive mode. We are not running from dinosaurs trying to eat us!!!!

And of course - a little bit of getting organized helps reduce the triggering emotions, coming from more of a strategic approach than 3D desires /urges.

i.e. How much can I get done this week, when and what will those key things be?

It's simple but challenging to practice.

This is the shift of self-leading life and biz through the lens of faith and inner wisdom. We often find ourselves navigating a maze of decisions, seeking guidance on the best path forward. But the answers we seek lie within, waiting to be discovered by embracing simplicity, relaxing the nervous system and slowing down in order to let the BEing lead the DOing.

As a powherfull woman, running a household, perhaps job, definitely business and you better have some recreation in there too, just to name a FEW of the things, it's easy to fall into the trap of projecting a facade of expertise and perfection.

However, true leadership shines not in the pursuit of perfection but

in the authenticity of one's being.

By shedding the armour of pretense, we open ourselves up to genuine connections with ourselves, our family and friends, our faith, clients, and community. Authenticity breeds trust and loyalty, creating a solid foundation for sustainable growth and success. IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE.

So, by aligning our actions with principles that resonate with our core values, we not only lead our businesses but also lead from the heart. THINK HIGHER than what is immediately in front of you. Stop reacting and shift towards pro-active thought leadership.

No one succeeds alone. Building a network of mentors, peers, and like-minded individuals can provide invaluable support on the journey of leadership. This also helps us create trust in ourselves which leads to more decisive and confident action!! Which I love to catalgue as MASTERY.

A mindset of mastery involves humility, curiosity, and a willingness to "pivot!!" in the face of change.

The true mark of a leader lies not in perfection but in the courage to be unapologetically yourself, guiding your business with grace and wisdom.

So, take a deep breath, listen to the whispers of your soul, and embark on this sacred journey of leading from within.

Start today. Your spirit, and your business will thank you!!
