So often we get caught up in creating urgency that we don’t realize that our actions behind the urgency are creating misalignment in our authentic desires.
Does this sound like you?
“I gotta hustle, I gotta push, I gotta make this happen.”
Or are you coming from a place of empowerment like, “I am taking the right massive action. I am connected to what I am doing. I am creating what I want. I am going to make this happen.”
The first is disempowering and desperate.
The other is empowering and coming from a place of conviction that the outcome WILL happen.
I’ve been on both sides so I understand.
In life (and especially in business), it’s easy to get addicted to the momentum of producing, creating, and growing. We get into a cycle of working hard and seeing results.
Q: But when does working hard no longer work?
A: When everything feels forced and you’re getting burnt out. You may think you’re moving fast, but you’re not going that far because your speedy actions are no longer aligned.

SOME REASONS FOR YOU TO SLOW DOWN:
1. Need to focus on some deep healing whether it’s physically, emotionally, spiritually.
2. Identifying and improving the areas if your life/biz that are inefficient, including messaging, workflow and sales/marketing processes.
3. Determining, tweaking or pivoting major goals and objectives.
4. Mindset check. External strategies are crucial in creating outcomes. But if your mindset is completely OFF, all the strategies in the world won’t help. You’ll get in your own way.

If we’re too consumed with busy work, we won’t notice the areas where we can work smarter and more aligned so we can take the right massive action.
So my beautiful friend, SLOW DOWN if you need to.
Take the intentional time to look at things from a new perspective, spot problems, adjust and then set yourself to move even faster.
And always here when you need help in any of this inner work!
