In this video I share with you a perfect example of this which happened this week and how a potentially stressful situation was very quickly turned around and brought back fully into our value system, into a place of greater expansion, ease, flow and joy for us as a family.
And yet, this desire burns so deep inside you and has done for some time now, years, you’re not ‘just’ doing this for the sake of it, you’re doing it because you know that to not follow that voice inside would lead to a life half lived.
Remember, you WANT to enjoy the holiday so can’t run yourself ragged day after day, month after month and expect your body not to do it’s job and throw out what doesn’t serve it when things get too much or now that it has a chance to catch up.
If you’re an entrepreneur mum working from home with a new (ish) business and you find yourself overwhelmed, struggling for time – to get all your work done, spend time with family, see friends, take time off to do what you love and take the time for even your most basic needs and well-being, chances are you’ve adopted the old model of working.
Take a moment to imagine how you will feel once you have all of this (future, wishing, projection, anticipation).
Your most important mission in this life is to be this person, today (present, here, now, what you know to be ‘true’).
We choose to become entrepreneurs because of the freedom it promises, the choice, the free reign for creativity and growth. Most entrepreneur mums choose it for the lifestyle that will allow them to spend more time with their family.
We are moving out of a masculine model of work to a more feminine mode, but what does that actually mean? Most talk around this topic is around business structures, ways of doing things and interacting. And yet it’s no longer about financial equality, it’s about doing things differently.
“Over time women realized that not only was ‘trying to be like men in the workplace’ a Sisyphean fight, but that their efforts were ruining relationships, affecting children and increasing stress-related diseases to epidemic levels.” – Forbes, 2013
What I see around me in my clients and colleagues is that the corporate, masculine work ethic has been brought home. These intelligent, capable, nurturing mothers, women are pushing themselves so hard, albeit using different structures and methods, that they are noticing it physically and emotionally after not heeding those mental/emotional/spiritual signs.
They need a coffee to wake them up in the morning. They need wine to bring them down in the evening. They reach for unhealthy sweet snacks to get them through the afternoon. If this is your current reality then something needs to shift. It may seem like nothing major right now, but if you allow this to carry on it might well be.
Your health needs to be firmly in place, you only have this one body to work with, and that monkey mind to tame. Prioritising your own wellbeing needs to be second nature because this is what fills you up. This is what makes you magnetic, radiant, a woman of joy, of wisdom, of endless possibility.
Without these in place growing your business, being the kind loving wife you want to be and present, conscious mother, attentive friend is going to be an uphill struggle.
I am SO excited to be sharing this news with you today!! Two years ago Dominic and I decided that we wanted to move to a country that would allow us to spend as much time as we want outside for most of the year, where the days are lighter, warmer, where we can spend more time in nature and where the buzz of the people and the town match what lifts us up and makes us feel inspired and alive.
You know what it’s like, you’re getting more and more uptight wondering what step to take next in your business, you’re frustrated because you know what step to take now but you can’t seem to get it to fit together (although it seems pretty simple, right?), you’ve got
Do you ever caught up in all those fancy self development words that have become so familiar to us and yet, when you actually stop to think about what they mean, you find yourself standing there scratching your head not quite able to put a finger on it?
