The curse of expectation
Are you expecting too much of yourself? Where in the business is your expectation not allowing you to enjoy the journey?
At times I’m absolutely guilty of this, so focused on the end result I miss the awesome wins and shifts. In constant movement, I’m not able to see the magic around me.
Start enjoying your journey
There will be days when like me you’ll be frustrated; anxious it’s not happening fast enough and overwhelmed by ALL that needs doing. Pressure you created and only you can do something about. The awesome news is… you can choose again at any moment – in this very moment.
You can decide here and now to be in control and focused; open to allowing everything to unfold perfectly for you.
A gorgeous woman recently told me a story about her hen sitting patiently on ten eggs. Explaining there was no point in counting the chicks before they’d hatched. She asked ‘if I was counting too soon?’ and was of course right. Where are you counting too soon?
Here are three steps to prevent you from counting too soon
- First STOP giving yourself a hard time because the more you beat yourself, the worse you’ll feel. The harder it will be to motivate yourself to take action and for the universe to deliver all that you desire.
- Give yourself space to ‘consider’ what’s worrying you most and where this feeling is coming from. Then decide and take the action necessary to move forward and do this with excitement.
- Decide if your fears or concerns are real (based on fact and evidence). I’m going to take a guess that often your fears aren’t rational meaning you are creating your own negative experience. Remember your energy goes where your thoughts flow – so change the thoughts.
The three steps above will enable you to realign and recalibrate. Moving you back into a place of positive vibration, which is where the magic happens, and everything CAN unfold for you perfectly.
There is a wonderful phrase I use often and is from Gabrielle Bernstein, I think from her book The Universe Has Your Back and is… ‘is it this or something better?’ A few simple words that make me feel better about whatever is not working out as I’d planned, predicted and expected.
