When I first started focusing on being clear of what I desired, both personally & in business,
Law of Attraction worked for me!
But then, as I evolved and realized that chasing things was not really my thing, and that I wanted more out of life, the practice of writing my desires, focusing on it, yada yada felt BORING, EMPTY, and not quite evolved enough for how I wanted to grow.
Then in 2008 I was given a set of Feminine Principles (WOMANesting TM) and I started using this gentle approach to a soulful life & business.
They were a game changer.
And because of them, I stopped being judgmental towards others and even quieting my Inner Critic, and honestly getting more done in my business. See, I no longer reserved space in my mind to be hard on myself, to operate from a sense of stress.
But rather I embraced who I was, my creative and productivity cycles, and my bottom line soared.
Yes, because of these Principles.
Here is the first one, and probably the one that has changed most lives (well, there’s another one, but that one I will share next week!)
You are a Seasonal Being; Accept it.
It can be so easy for us to be on the constant move towards more more & some more both personally &
in business, but when we can soften to the Truth that we are cyclical beings, a level of harshness
immediately drops off.
Maybe you are in a stage in your life where you cannot devote yourself fully to something you care
deeply about and this Principle is a reminder that what you are going through is just RIGHT NOW, and that
it can evolve and change.
I know for me, I am deep into my business right now, and creating an upcoming course, and honestly my weekends are not as recreational as they had been months before. I am shooting videos, writing copy,and even though I could feel guilty that I am not spending time with my girls, I know it is just RIGHT NOW,and that in a couple of weeks, we will have a family vacation where we can bond, play, and enjoy our little family.
Of course my girls are young, and I do not necessarily want to make my business 99% of what I do, I want to be there for them, but I am in a season of intense work, and knowing that, communicating it to myfamily, and making plans to bring more balance once this season is over is fundamental to my relationships.
Same goes for Business.
A business has seasons, and has points of evolution, and in fact knowing this is KEY to sustainable success. I see so many Business owners become stuck when they hit a season of evolution. I know I have been at that place.
Not getting support during that season was a huge mistake, and I counsel every single person I meet to always invest in the right kind of support, mentorship or business coaching. Because if we live these seasons of growth alone, our progress can be stalled, and yes, sales of our business can slow down as well, unless we have the right plan in place.
Here’s a start to making sure you do not make the common mistakes by most. Be honest with yourself about where you are, what you need, and what you will do to be proactive… these questions will get you started…
What season is your Business in today? If you were to be 100% honest with yourself,
what is the #1 thing you need to get through this without affecting your bottom line?
Have an amazing day!
ASHA
