In this world of information overload, promises of nirvana via your online business and which success milestones you ‘should’ be aiming for, it can be difficult to tune into and stay true to what it is you really want.
You start off knowing what you want but it seems that the deeper you get into it, at times, the more confused you get.
Freedom is feeling aligned with your desires. And yet…
…the more you learn, the more you engage, the more you realize you’re interested in and can bring into your business. There’s so much you can do.
I’ve been there too and journey far enough down that road only to catch myself half way down it before realizing that I was going the wrong way.
So how do you bring yourself back to a place of clarity? How do you stay grounded and follow what’s right for you so that you feel that sense of inner freedom that comes when you truly are the master of your choices?
Here are a few questions to ask yourself when you just can’t seem to snap out of that whirlwind headspace:
- Right now I feel (name it: stressed, rushed, confused, pushy etc).
- I want to feel (name it in ONE word: ease, simplicity, clarity, love etc)
- Why do I want that?
- How does this relate to me having my own business now and to why I started my business in the first place?
- What’s one thing that I can do to bring more of that in? (usually this means taking action around that thought that’s persistently on your mind, be it lifestyle or business related, or both).
If you feel more relaxed, go do what came up in question #4.
If you still feel confused, go back over the questions and do them again.
If you’ve ever found yourself carried along a wave of what’s popular online only to find that it’s the wrong wave for you, what did you do to get back on track?
