"Do THIS and 10x your business!!" I know we've all heard that before.
There are so many things we are told going into business - and ladies, I am sure you are sick and tired of hearing that there is something else to do, another way to succeed and a step you haven’t taken.
This blog today isn’t intended to be a saving grace or a be-all and end-all cure for whatever you are struggling with currently in your business.
I am not telling you to stop anything, although I do invite you to pause.
Just for a few moments.
Through my time in my business and also helping phenomenal women start, scale and secure their own I have seen this problem crop up too many times.
What is the problem?
An unhealthy and unhelpful attachment to the past.
What does the problem look like?
Fighting for and against change at the same time.
Listening to old ways of thinking to obtain new ways of being.
Seeing a safety net in familiarity and becoming resistant to growth.
Not fully believing that the dreams, wants and wishes can really become a reality.
What does the problem mean for women in business - for you?
Doubting not only your capacity but your capability as you are comparing yourself to an old and outdated way of being and doing.
Resistance to the way forward and what needs to be done ignorer to get there.
Self sabotage and a two steps forward, one step back pattern.
Progress will be slower and painful…and it doesn’t need to be.
So…what can you do about it?
One of THE most effective strategies I have implemented is writing a Letter of Mourning: an obituary to the past and a cathartic release of what was.
Set some time aside
Pick up your pen and paper
Write a Letter of Mourning releasing all that no longer serves, that which you wish to leave behind and recognising that it is now gone for good
Keep the letter with you and read it when needed or release it and trust you have done the work needed
There is no wrong way to write the letter. It can be light, sorrowful, gracious or glacial - whatever you need in order to truly let go.
When you are still attached to the old you, the old ways and the old story of what life is like you will be energetically aligned and connected to it. The problem here is that you don’t want to be!
You are doing so much work - inside and out - to change your life and elevate your circumstances. So don’t allow yourself to be weighed down by this problem.
Choose to fly.
Your future, your business and your peace of mind will thank you for it.
