I am an eternal student, honestly if I could just stay in learning forever it would be my dream…. But what good is all that knowledge without implementation? How do I turn it into service, for myself and for others? Why hoard and accumulate knowledge if it is not to be used?
See, an interesting thing happened when I downloaded yet another goals and strategy sheet, a task tracker, and looked at the lines on the page that said “Step 1 - Define Your Goals.”
And friends, I AM A PLANNER, I could order allllll the planners on Amazon, Etsy and Staples (Canada folks!). I could write all the month by month, action by action lists, I could fill a library with strategy, project management and workflow templates. In a combination of complete and semi complete ha!
But on that particular day, with that particular 10000th “get organized” sheet in front of me, and yes I sell organization as one of my services but in a very different way!, I was called to write my TO BE list, not a to-do list.
TO BE…. to feel, to BEcome the woman I am and am becoming…..
I want TO BE a woman who is:
Calm
Grounded
Convicted in her worthiness as a Daughter of the Lord
Peaceful
Surrendered to what is
I want TO BE a woman whose body is:
Limber
Fit
Strong
Healthy inside and out
I want TO BE a woman whose SPIRIT is:
Open
Connected to God
Present
Preparing for Eternity
Compare that with the to-do list:
Write a blog 3xs/week
Post in paid FB groups
Do the Laundry
Workout
Close 10 clients by "Date"
Batch up content
Finish presentations for 2 summits
Organize kids room
Set up family calendar
Plan out Girl Guides for the next 2 months
Finish painting the stairwell
Costco List
Run the Budget
Etc
The TO DO list activates my nervous system, gets my blood pumping and stirs the overwhelm.
The TO BE lists drop me into a higher state. Even as I write this I can feel the inner energy shift. I do keep track of what to, staying organized helps me stay calm and chip away at the work, but to first consider my TO BE, my self regulated, spacious, flowey self, to act from WHO I AM on what I need to do, is a game changer.
Coming from how I want to FEEL, not what’s accomplished (which then leads to a supernatural amount of stuff getting done! ha!) is leading from a higher place than tasks. It's leading from the woman who I am becoming, while already being her. This is my how of becoming. This is also what I observe in “high profile coaches” online. This is the metamorphosis.
Change yourself, internally, in order to expand externally.
When I lead myself through the feelings of who I am / want to be, the to-do’s are way less important!!! It’s not about what I do to reach goals, but who is the person working on those goals and why.
If you want to truly change who you are BEing, you have to BE from a different place. Not do more.
The how for this will vary from person to person but I have observed a few trends or patterns in the HOW of BEcoming.
The Practice (habits)
Prayer
Journaling
Accountability
Being Coached
Community
Self awareness - observing yourself and making higher conscious/new choices from that awareness
Others? What do you think?
Characteristics to embody
Gratitude
Contentment
Desire
Ambition
Discipline
Consistency
GRACE
Tenacity
Patience
Conviction
Others? What comes up for you?
Like weight loss or fitness improvement, you need to WORK at it
Work means ACTION
And the longer you are in “inaction” the harder the initial push will be
Imagine trying to lose 100 lbs in ONE workout, not gonna happen!
And that first workout is going to be HARD.
But how will you feel after??
Only one way to find out and that is by taking that ACTION NOW. My coach always talks about the one next thing to do, in order to act from a place of BEing who you want to BEcome.
For me, it's writing a blog that I can use in multiple ways.
What is your ONE THING to DO in order to ACT from BEing your higher self?
Maybe it's praying before starting work or to ask for clarity. This ACT is a NEW STEP into BEing your more self.
Are you getting this?
Journey with me, write me back or write a post and tag me (@powherfullinc) and let’s actually BE the tangible, action taking women who lead ourselves forward so that others see what it looks like and feel how possible it is for them too!
