2021 was quite the year & as I’ve been easing into 2022 goals & intentions I am noticing some *key* mistakes I made in the second half of the year, that I promise I’ll never do again. At this point I like to think of them as “lessons” & I’m sharing them with you so you don’t have to learn them the hard way like I did.
3 Mistakes I made in 2021 that I’ll never make again…
–> I stopped listening to my intuition & listened to everyone else instead.
Back in August, I noticed some things that I was doing in my business that just wasn’t working anymore & instead of going within to align my energy with the next steps, I found myself searching for answers, formulas & things that I must be “missing”. I started “doing all the things” a few experts were saying to do without first feeling into it. In that process, I not only didn’t find the answers I was looking for, but I found myself re-learning a lesson that took me 2 years to learn when I started down this path in 2013.
What I’m doing instead: I am tuning into my intuition daily again, feeling my way forward & remembering that the answers, next steps & insights I want/need are all available to me now. If there is something new for me to learn or a new coach to hire, I will feel it & it will feel like a natural next step.
–> Doing “more” to compensate for feeling “less” than.
In the process of ignoring my intuition, I spent a solid 3 months in “hustle-mode”. I was working late nights doing the things I thought I “had” to do to get to the next level & felt an anxious energy around why I wasn’t “there” already. I was acting from a place of “lack”. Lack of answers, insight, & power & my results only reflected more “lack”. The more I did, the less I felt. In the end I began feeling resentful, confused & frustrated.
What I’m doing instead: I am filling my “enough” bucket daily which means reminding myself that things are always working out for me & choosing to never act from a place of not enoughness again. What this amounts to is mindset & energy work as often as needed. Not only that, but I am intentionally choosing & stepping into flow & trusting the process daily.
–> Earning/rationalizing rest.
In “hustle-mode” I found myself rationalizing when I could rest or giving myself certain things I needed to do first. I negotiated with myself about my sacred beach Fridays because I felt like I hadn’t done “enough”. The truth is, it didn’t matter how much I actually did, I wasn’t allowing myself to rest freely & as needed. That ended around Christmas when I realized how depleted I was creatively & energetically.
What I’m doing instead: I’m planning rest *first* (a concept that blew my mind wide open when I learned it from a business coach recently), & reinstating beach-Fridays. I’m setting better work boundaries with no late night work sessions & listening to my body when it needs a nap or extra break.
I share this with you because…
I want you to know that this growth process is like a spiral staircase & sometimes we need to revisit lessons to go to the next level. It’s normal, it happens & it doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you.
I also want you to learn from my mistakes & spend some time evaluating your own life & course correct as you feel called to.
Are you currently listening to your intuition & doing the things that are in alignment with it? Or have you been doing “all the things” because you thought that’s what you needed to do to get to where you want to be?
Are you acting from a place of lack & trying to do more because you feel like you have to? What if you too filled your “enough” bucket & acted, invested & lived from a place of enough?
Are you listening to your body & resting appropriately? If not, let this be your sign it’s time to do so.
Things happen & remember it’s ALL learning. So, take whatever lesson you’re learning & make it work for you.
Remember, you are fully capable of creating the life & life transformations you wish to make this week, this month & this year (and beyond), but YOU have to know it & own it. And if you’re having trouble believing that it’s possible for you, the special Jumpstart 2022 program I created still **TWO** spots available.
This program is a fraction of the cost of my 4 month program & provides not only 1:1 support, but you also get access to something a NEW community that is available for my 1:1 clients only for additional training & support.
If you want me to send you the details about this program, simply email me HERE & I’ll send it over ASAP. This offer expires at the end of January or when the other 2 spots are spoken for.
Is it time to invest in you? If so, let’s go!
