Hi and welcome.
It is so good to connect with you here today.
In this episode,
We are going to explore doing life and business with more ease.
Many of us experience overworking,
Overgiving,
Anxiety,
Feeling lost in one way or another,
And worry about how we are ever going to create the business that allows us to have the life we desire.
This is so common with entrepreneurs,
Business owners and CEOs,
No matter what level of income they experience.
The thing is,
When we are following someone else's definition and dream of success,
We design our life around our work,
And try to create solutions from this very disconnected and misaligned way of being.
Let's be honest,
We can't actually find solutions while we are stuck in this cycle that brought us to the problem in the first place.
We need to create alignment first to be able to shift this.
To do this,
We need to become aware of the different aspects that play a role in our experience of life and business.
As we explore them,
I invite you to take some notes of the ones that you feel you might have dismissed or neglected so far on your journey.
Gaining this awareness is the first step so you can start to create the change you are looking for.
It all has to start with our physical body and our environment.
If we do not have fertile ground,
We are not able to take aligned action in our business or life.
A helpful question to ask yourself is,
Am I having fertile ground to grow?
Most of us put our physical well-being and environment on the back burner,
In the bucket of,
I will take care of this once I have created a certain income level or success.
Then we wonder why things are harder than they need to be.
And why we burn out and experience a lack of growth.
If there is no fertile ground,
There is only minimal growth.
As we are living in this 3D world,
There are certain things we need to take care of.
Nature shows us this so beautifully.
When we put seedlings into a garden that is deprived of nutrients and full of weeds,
There will not be much growth,
If any.
However,
When we weed our garden regularly and make sure it gets the care needed,
Then the seedlings we are planting can grow abundantly.
It's the same with our business.
When we make sure the fundamental pieces are in place and healthy,
They can grow with more ease.
As heart-centered and soulful business owners,
We are part of this ecosystem.
Another aspect is our nervous system,
Which is also connected to our systems and teams in business.
Powerful questions in this area are,
Am I safe?
And do I feel supported?
Our nervous system holds the score of our experiences.
If we do not feel safe in the experience we have had throughout our lifetime,
And sometimes even beyond through ancestral entanglements,
It can be hard for us to generate healthy cash flow.
As our experience of safety has not been established.
Issues also often arise when we are not able to bring in sufficient support,
Or we keep telling ourselves,
I need to do everything myself,
Because no one can do it better than me.
This might be true on some levels,
But it also is a coping strategy learned through the experiences we have had so far that have proven to us over and over that our experiences are not safe.
This leads us to the next point,
Mind and body.
When our nervous system doesn't feel safe in our experience of life,
It triggers and activates the coping strategies we have developed over our lifetime.
So,
The stories we tell in any given experience change.
And we end up sabotaging ourselves and our business success.
Even though mindfulness is a wonderful tool,
Mindfulness alone will not fix this if we are not addressing our nervous system and our physical being and environment.
Only focusing on mindfulness and not taking into account our human experience is like trying to spiritually bypass our experience of being.
There are many wonderful tools to explore with the nervous system regulation and the mind-body connection.
But to keep this episode short and to the point,
I won't dive into them now.
I have shared some in various previous episodes,
So I invite you to explore them if this speaks to you.
The next aspect is intuition.
Trust and interpretation of our intuition are impacted by the nervous system state we experience,
As it taints the story of how we interpret our intuitive notches.
We all have an intuition or a gut feeling or a sense of things.
For some of us,
This can be very obvious.
For others,
It lingers more in the background.
Being able to trust our intuition and letting our intuition guide us in both our life and business can help us to cut through the noise,
Forego the newest quick fixes,
And get to our aligned success much quicker,
Without the shortcomings of parts of our experiences of being.
Something I often recommend is to start a proof journal for your intuition,
To become aware of when your intuition is tinted and when it is pure,
So to speak.
This helps to build trust within your intuition.
Besides,
We can practice some discernments when it might be distorted and not trustworthy.
Start to take notes of your intuitive notches,
Whenever they might be.
And next to it,
Write down how you feel and what sensations you are experiencing.
Maybe also take some notes on how activated your day has been so far.
Over time,
You can see which intuitive notches were spot on,
And you will most likely notice that on the days you felt activated,
The notches are more fear-based and less accurate than the days where you felt connected and calm.
Building awarenesses and trust in our intuition can be such a game changer.
The next aspect is our bliss body.
In short,
It's giving from our overflow versus the lack thereof.
When we give from our overflow,
We allow everyone else to do the same.
And we create such a powerful ripple effect in the world as it changes everything.
A powerful question to ask yourself daily is,
What do I need today to fill up my batteries?
And then go and do it.
The last aspect I'd like to mention today is our soul alignment.
Soul alignment is a natural consequence of what happens when we address the things I previously mentioned while following our unique design of being.
When we are in alignment with our soul,
It can speak to us through the whispers of our body and guide us in living life and doing business with more ease.
I personally love to work with my human design within this experience as it can be a powerful resource to explore our own strategies and authority of being in alignment.
Everything is intertwined,
Business and personal.
It doesn't mean we are our business.
It just means that there is an ecosystem within the experience we are having within our business.
What we need to realize is that fixing is not the solution.
It will only trigger us more and will always attract more that needs to be fixed.
Having a mindset of fixing always signals to our nervous system that we are not safe.
So it becomes activated and triggers a slew of processes within our experiences as we explore today.
That will bring our not-selves online.
We need to align to what is true and important to us to create the safety and change we are looking for.
Bringing this all back to the wonderful wisdom of nature,
Allowing ourselves to embrace different seasons of life and business,
Aligns the layers of our experiences with our souls so everything can start to flow.
I'd love to know what you have noticed for yourself.
What patterns might be playing out for you?
Please know there is nothing wrong with you.
We are all on this journey of unpeeling the layers of who we have learned to be and become our most aligned and thriving selves.
No fixing is ever needed for this.
It's all about alignment and honoring the seasons we are experiencing.
