My Story. Update.

I’ve tried to write this blog post several times now.  I thought I’d continue with writing another chapter about what’s been happening in my world.  But every time I’ve gone to write it, I’ve felt resistance.  I haven’t felt even the slightest bit inspired to write another chapter.

I’ve tried spending time reflecting on the past few months, but still nothing.  It’s kind of odd because it’s not like nothings been happening.  There’s been so much going on, not only in my world but on a global scale! 

I’m wondering if it’s because things have calmed down a bit on my home front.  The reno’s have slowed right down.  In fact it’s been months since I’ve picked up a paintbrush to paint a wall in the house.  I’ve even got lawn outside now; thank goodness for instant roll out lawn!

I haven’t had to think about moving house, renovating houses, etc; and then with the addition of COVID 19, it’s actually helped to ground and settle me even more, because I haven’t really been leaving the house.  I have to say that it has been brilliant to be able to drop back a gear and catch up on things I’ve been wanting to do; plus catch up on some rest.

I think another reason for me feeling so grounded and settled is because I haven’t been constantly changing things with my business like I have in the past.  I whole heartedly feel like I’ve finally found my thing.  The thing that really lights me up.

I worked out that I LOVE creating new things (some of you may have figured that out, haha).  I love coming up with new ideas and then birthing them, bringing them to life. I love that process!  However it’s been detrimental to my business. By changing my offerings all the time, it makes it very hard to get traction and consistency.

So… I’ve been putting that creative energy into helping other people with their small businesses, through my Coaching program called IGNITE!  It’s a win win, because it’s a creative outlet for me, and my clients benefit from my ideas, experience and accountability.

Then there’s my Yoga classes I teach in my home town.  COVID 19 put a quick stop to them.  As much as I miss seeing my regular yogis, it’s been a blessing in disguise.  I’ve been wanting to get my yoga classes online for years and it’s finally happened!  My vision has always been to be able to work from anywhere and online yoga classes is a big part of this.

For the last couple of months I’ve been teaching my online yoga classes via a private Facebook page.  However, as of the 1st June I’ll be launching a proper online platform for my yoga classes, where people will have a user name and password, with full access to a library of my yoga classes!  I am SO EXCITED.  It will be a monthly membership, and every month I’ll upload new weekly yoga class videos.

So that’s where I’m at.  I can’t put into words how happy I am, that I’ve finally found two different services that I absolutely adore and I feel are having a positive impact in peoples lives (Business Coaching & Yoga). It excites me so much!

I’m feeling so content, yet excited for the path ahead.  I feel like I’m on the right track and I feel like all that I’ve experienced in the last few years has been perfect; even the challenging times.  It’s all brought me to where I am today, and for that I am grateful.

Haha, wow.  I’ve just gone from saying ‘I’ve felt so much resistance with writing this blog’ to struggling to move my hands quick enough to type out the last few paragraphs!

I think I know what’s going on.  I’m so present with where I’m currently at, that I don’t have the desire to reflect on the past few months all that much.  I’m more excited about the here and now!  That’s what I’m excited about and that’s what I want to share!

I do want to keep things real with you though… to be completely honest, as much I’m happy and content, I have recently had an inner tug of war going on (another reason why perhaps I’ve been feeling resistance to writing this).  There’s been some discomfort lately and a tornado of emotions; especially irritability.  

Things are going well (extremely well!) and I’ve been feeling super grateful; yet the dreamer in me knows that I’m still capable of more.  The dreamer in me still has grand plans and big dreams.  The dreamer in me is trying to pull me forward, yet my limiting beliefs are trying to hold me back.  My limiting beliefs are trying to keep me safe, by settling and not aiming for more.

This tug of war causes a big mix of emotions, and I am determined to work through them so I can continue to explore what’s possible.  

Most people would probably be stoked with where I’m at, but I want to prove to myself and everyone else (especially my business coaching clients), that ANYTHING is possible if you put your mind to it.  I want to really push my limits and keep chasing my dreams no matter how big they are.  I have a feeling this will be the story I tell when I visit schools one day as a motivational speaker; showing kids what is possible and inspiring them to believe in themselves!

At the moment, I’ve been allowing space for my thoughts and feelings to surface; I’m challenging my limiting beliefs and I’ve also invested in getting my own Business Coach to help me guide me forward.

I feel like I’m going through an up-levelling.  I don’t think I’ve felt an up-levelling like this since I told My Story here via my blog; that was a huge transformational time for me.

As I go through this process of up-levelling I can sense things will be different.  It won’t so much be the structure of my business that changes, but more so how I’m showing up as a person, and what I attract into my life.. 

I’ve actually noticed that a lot of people have been experiencing this.  Please be sure to let me know in the comments below if you have been.  I’d love to hear your experience!

Watch this space, as I can feel things changing and shifting. I’m actually really excited to share this experience with you in my next blog post, so stay tuned! 

Love,
