My energy has changed

I recently wrote about being on the struggle bus. And to my absolute, genuine surprise, some incredible human beings came forward with words of wisdom, encouragement and empathy. And to my even greater surprise, I received some deep generosity and selfless kindness in the form of financial and physical support. There are some beautiful people in this world, and I’m beyond grateful and blessed for the responses I received. Honesty, totally unexpected. #heartfull

But I’ve also been doing some work for myself…

For years I’ve slept to affirmation tracks or binaural beats. For some reason, the last six months or so, I just haven’t. And if I were to track my finances against when I stopped listening, there is an undeniable correlation. So I’ve started to play them again as I sleep.

I’ve been prioritising meditation. I have very limited time to ‘get work done’ around the kids and my classes. So I tend to crowbar things in here and there (such as right now, as I type this in the bath!) But I’ve made a conscious effort to set an hour aside at least two or three times a week to follow a guided meditation.

I’ve been saying “No”. There have been opportunities for me to get distracted, such as invites for coffee, networking and exciting opportunities to learn new things. I REALLY want to do these things, but I just don’t have the capacity right now. I’ve been feeling overwhelmed with information, duties, plans and ‘to-do’s’. So I’ve declined things, just temporarily. Giving me the space I need to focus on the most important matters at hand. This has felt like a really healthy thing to do as a temporary measure to settle my world.

I’ve started eating better. Like many of us, I emotionally eat. If I’m feeling low, I reach for sugary treats. But I’ve been reaching all too often, and my health has been starting to suffer. My blood pressure has risen, I’ve been having dizzy spells and head aches, and bouts of anxiety. I was kindly offered a free place on a 6 week Ketogenic diet course (You may already know this from my social media posts). I’ve started significantly reducing my sugar intake, and I’m starting to feel SO MUCH BETTER. It’s been a game changer.

I’ve accepted help. You know that saying…”The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results” by Albert Einstein. Well this is where I’ve been at with my business for some time now. Things just haven’t been picking up. I’ve received several offers for marketing and social media support, to which I’ve finally accepted. You may have already noticed a few changes in my approach over the last month. Some things I’ve really resonated with, some the jury’s still out. But I’ll continue to explore and experiment over the coming weeks and months to see what sticks. It’s been an exciting journey thus far.

And here’s the best part…

Things are looking up! I’ve noticed an increase in abundance this week. Some familiar faces have returned to classes, and some new ones too. I’ve had randomly unexpected money appear, such as a refunded train ticket and a gifted scratch card that won us £10! These little moments of abundance add up, and it’s so important they don’t go unnoticed. After all, an attitude of gratitude brings further opportunities.

But the best, best part, and absolute icing on the cake…

One of my clients said to me “It seems like your energy has lifted this week”.  It was the first day I’d felt like myself for a while, and the first day I’d committed time to meditate. And without being promoted, she noticed. It’s working!

My energy has changed, I’m vibrating higher, and an abundance of goodness is flowing.
