Adapting to Change


Greetings to You ~

So if awareness of my energy and behaviours are a first step.  How do I change the behaviours that no longer serve me?

I just realized that was my ego mind asking the question.  Yes, but be gentle with yourself.  It's natural for the ego mind to want to know why and how.

I received information last week about that type of question at the EnergyRICH Marketing Mastery Q&A call with Heather Dominick.

Last week I recognized that the decision to move what I do from a hobby to a business triggered something in me.  It shifted my energy from an easy, inspired energy to an old belief or an old story I had about “work.”

When I worked for a large organization there was an emphasis on productivity and deadlines. When I associated my creative work as a business I noticed an urgency to get things done which was forcing action rather than allowing my energy to flow.  I could actually feel tension and stress start to arise.

I also remember how I’d work on less important tasks rather than getting done what I really needed to. It’s like I needed the panic of a deadline to get focused.

Heather suggested that I allow myself to know, "This is different." Affirm that you don't have to do it the old way. The mind says "how" but I don't know how because I haven't had direct experience yet.

Breathe. You don't know how it feels yet, but you can imagine how you’d like to feel. I would feel relaxed and in the flow.

"I don't have to do work the old way. I'm open to the new way."

I am ready.

Peace,
Sheila
