Liven up your thinking to reignite your passion

Liven up your thinking is a phrase my podcast co-host gifted me the other day, and it’s precisely what I need to do sometimes.

We all do because it’s easy to get stuck in a rut, doing the same old.

Times when I have sometimes felt stale, and the ideas aren’t popping and flowing – when everything feels like hard work. When suddenly, I can’t make a decision for toffee and, if I do, fail to act upon them – when I feel lost. Sound familiar?

And this is a tough place to move forward from. It can feel like pushing a massive boulder up a steep hill, hopping on one leg and with one hand tied behind your back. I exaggerate, of course, but you get the idea and will most likely have experienced moments like these.

Moments that can turn into days and even weeks. When it can be a challenge to stay motivated and show up in all your glory, when attracting money and clients can feel like trying to catch a fish with your hands,

So, what can we do when these moments happen?

Examine what is going on without judgment.

You must examine and acknowledge what is going on in the business. However, I recommend first stepping back and reminding yourself of all the fantastic things you’ve already achieved, which will shift your energy. You can then look at what feels clunky or sticky—what feels off.

Examining without judgement allows you to explore with curiosity and helps you see if you’ve lost your mojo or are tired—you need an injection of fun. Maybe you’ve been stuck in the office and need to get out and connect with others. One of the reasons I network is that it energises me, livens up my thinking, and shifts my energy.

During this process, be kind to yourself. We can’t always be Positive, Penelope, and that’s okay. Explore to see if there is a problem or challenge in the business that you need to overcome or if you need time to recharge.

Maybe something is going on personally for you that is affecting your energy – how you feel. Again, acknowledgement is a significant first step; sometimes, sitting with your emotions can help. In my experience, ignoring them is never a good idea, and acknowledging your feelings allows you to explore what is going on without judgment.

Perhaps you are tired and need to slow down. Could you go to bed earlier?

A client who was recently pushing that boulder found everything changed the minute she returned to exercising. Suddenly, she could think again, her mojo returned, and clients started flowing to her like magic.

She had shifted the energy, which you can do anytime by getting up and shaking that booty. Yes, dancing, movement, and being out in nature are great ways to get the energy moving in your favour again.

But let’s get back to your thinking and how to liven it up.

My favourite way is…

To surround yourself with those that will lift you, inspire and motivate you. That will have your back, nudge you when needed and ask the questions you need to answer. As a coach, this is pretty much my job, which is fantastic, but I also know the benefit of finding your tribe and being part of a community.
