Happy Monday Dreamers!
Here we are in the first full week of the New Year and it’s going to be a big one for Life Once Dreamt. I not only have a guest post to share with you, but also a wonderful podcast interview that I will share as soon as it is ready for anyone who is interested in knowing more about the coaching process.
Before we get into all that this week, I wanted to share with you a little bit about my last few weeks. I was going to send this to my newsletter subscribers only, but decided to share it with all of my blog followers as well. If you aren’t on my VIP/Newsletter list, hop on over here to get signed up. I have some new services that I am offering and will be opening them up to my VIP list first along with some special pricing for my VIP list only, so you don’t want to miss out.
As you may recall in December I was officially laid off from my full-time day job. I initially had this feeling that it was a sign that I was ready to dive head first into my business and that I would immediately reap the benefits of overflowing creativity, tons of clients, and would easily make up the income I was missing from the day job. While it didn’t exactly happen that way, this morning I found myself feeling full of gratitude and peace for all that is going on right this very moment.
You see, while the last three weeks may not have unfolded the way I thought they would, I am at peace. I don’t have a full-time job, yet I am not worried about finances, bills, or when I will get another job. I do not have that needy-anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach that I would have gotten 2 years ago in this same situation because I don’t know what is going to happen next. In fact, I am perfectly ok not knowing what lies ahead as it helps me to focus fully on the moment. It has taken me many years to get to this place of full faith and trust that it is all going to unfold perfectly…for me and that might not be the way I thought it would be, but it will be perfect nonetheless.
What changed?
Well aside from the lessons I have learned personally over the years and what I have learned in building my business, I recently read a post by Michelle Ward that gave me a bit of insight into what it is like for her to run her business in a week. I was touched and inspired to utilize the next several weeks putting energy, focus, and love into my business. I wanted to create the necessary space for my ideas to flow, my creativity to run wild, and for me to experience what it might be like for me when I am running my business full-time and I have to admit, so far it has been amazing.
I am enjoying every moment I have to imagine, envision, and create amazing programs for my clients. I have ideas coming to me almost daily now that the excess stuff is out-of-the-way and I am living my purpose by coaching clients, co-hosting a workshop, writing, and meeting with potential clients. And the best part? I am having fun! 
It struck me that as many people head back to work after time off for the holidays, I am loving what I do, while so many others are dreading the week ahead. I remember that feeling and while I have accepted the fact that I might have to find another full-time job until my business can sustain me financially, I know that as long as I am doing what I love, everything will fall into place.
Are you one of those people who is heading back to work today with dread and anxiety? Stressing over a job that pays the bills, but doesn’t energize and fuel your passion for life? If so, I encourage you to take some time this week to consider what you would do if were going to follow your passion. Don’t worry about if it’s possible or realistic. Instead, see it, feel it, and imagine what it would be like to actually do it. Now, not later.
Want to know how to make that a reality? I want more people to feel what I have felt over the last few weeks and I would love to chat with you about where your passion lies. What is the thing (or things) that makes your eyes light up and energizes your soul? Contact me to find out how you can get a free session to chat more about your dream and to come up with a plan to do more of what you love. Life is short, shouldn’t you spend it doing the things you enjoy?
