PSA: The OLD way is no longer working, but (the good news is) this is…
If you’ve been experiencing some particularly challenging times, listen up…this message is for YOU.
We are living in a time period where things are shifting dramatically on both the energetic and spiritual planes. The way we see things in our world is changing as is the way we are living our everyday lives and for many people that means the OLD ways just don’t work anymore.
For example, let’s say 10 years ago you had a big goal you wanted to achieve…
You set your eye on the prize and did what most of us have been taught and you created a plan. You looked at the most logical way of achieving your goal from where you were and you began executing the plan. Your plan likely included working hard, pushing forward, doing things you didn’t want to do because you knew you had to in order to get to where you wanted to be. Eventually after all the blood, sweat, and tears you made it. You attained your goal and proved that hard work–works.
This my friends is an illustration of the OLD way of doing things.
The OLD way: Generally comes from a more masculine feeling place of pushing, forcing, and “making” things happen. It’s about planning, strategizing, and controlling the ‘how’ because come hell or high water you are going to get there. It wears the blood, sweat, and tears mentality like a medallion of honor in that the harder you work, the longer it takes, and the more you put into the journey, the more impressive the achievement. This is the workaholic-work your fingers to the bone-I’ll sleep when I’m dead way of doing things, which is quickly becoming a thing of the past.
Early on in my business, I tried this way of doing things. I started my business and began doing “all the things” everyone was telling me I HAD to do to succeed.
I was offering free sessions to everyone I met and spent 12+ hour days trying to make this business work. I struggled big time for the first 2 years because I thought that’s what I had to do to eventually succeed. It wasn’t until I started getting a glimpse of the new way and how it worked that things shifted.
The NEW way: This is more a way of ‘being’ than a way of ‘doing’ things. It comes from a more feminine energy of receiving, allowing, and opening up. It’s about FEELING your way forward and surrendering the ‘how’ while trusting completely that the intention, goals, and desires are manifesting now.
The new way is about consistency in our thoughts, faith in our actions, and trusting ourselves (and the Universe) enough to relinquish any control we think we need in order to manifest our desires. This is the more intuitive approach to manifesting that requires us to develop a deeper connection to ourselves and take action we feel inspired to take versus just doing things we feel we ‘have’ to do. When embraced fully, this way of being helps us manifest our desires much faster than the old way ever could.
For many people, the NEW way is uncomfortable, difficult, and hard to believe. If you are a fellow recovering control freak like myself, this way of doing things can be particularly challenging as it requires you to surrender and trust that everything is working out for you, even when you can’t see it.
PSA: Like anything, the NEW way takes practice.
The truth is, your inner being KNOWS this is how things work, but your mind will often get in the way.
It will tell you that the last time you…
–> Hit your $5000/month goal, you wrote 3 articles and booked 5 new clients and that’s all you have to do in order to make it happen again.
–> Lost 20lbs, you did 2 workouts per day for a month and hired a nutritionist to customize a meal plan for you and that’s all you have to do in order to make it happen again.
–> Sold your house, you hired the best realtor in town and had to wait 6 months for it to sell and that’s all you have to do in order to make it happen again.
BUT….I assure you, there is a better, easier, more fun, fluid, and adventurous way.
YOU are not here to repeat history.
YOU are not here to be a robot doing the same thing day in and day out.
Where’s the fun in that anyways?
–> YOU are here to consistently and constantly grow, evolve, and become more of who you really are.
–> YOU are here to expand your consciousness, achieve your desires, and enjoy this new way of being.
–> YOU are here to experience life and ENJOY it!
–> YOU are here to BE, HAVE, and DO all that you desire and I can tell you with full confidence that the OLD way of doing things will not deliver that to you.
So, you have 2 options the way I see it:
1. Keep doing things the old way and only achieve a handful of your desires.
2. Or try something new and lean into your potential as you achieve far more than you ever thought possible with more ease, grace, and growth than ever before.
As I always say, the choice is always yours to make.
I made the choice about 2 years into my business to try this new way and while I’ve had some lapses in memory where I’ve fallen into my old ways, I know that this new way is 100% better and it’s what I’m teaching every single one of my clients.
Times are changing and I know there are a lot of you who may be disappointed in where you are right now. You’ve put in the “work”, done things the way you always have but you’re still not seeing the results.
Consider this your invitation to try another way…the new way. It takes practice, but I promise it works. Get quite, tune in, feel your way forward and repeat. It really is that simple.
Believe me, if I can do it with my control-freakish ways, you can too!
You got this!
