For those of you who read my blog regularly you would have noticed that for the past few months I have been banging on about the elusive
new website, e book and brand that I am apparently launching. Yes, I have been talking about it for a while and I am well aware that you are yet to see much evidence of it.
But, that is all about to change!
I am excited to share that my new website is currently in the throws of being built. Yipee! And I have spent most of today writing the content for it. Double yipee!
And not only will you be graced with a sparkling new website, but there is a super delicious and absolutely FREE e book waiting for you too! Woo hoo.
Yes, it is all finally happening and I am beyond thrilled.
So, in my next post I will be making 2 new announcements!
1) I will be giving you all the details about my free e book and how you can get your hands on it
2) I will be sharing with you the name of my new website and also when you can expect to it see it live
But before that, I thought I would share with you why it has taken so damn long.
ROAD BLOCKS AND LACK OF FLOW
Have you ever had an outcome in mind of something you want and you have tried to get it happening, taken every action under the sun and thrown everything you have at it, yet it still does not seem to be progressing?
Or
Have you ever had a delicious creative idea bubble forth in your mind, and so you rush eagerly to your notepad or computer to start creating it, yet no matter how hard you try you cannot seem to get it to look like the image in your mind?
Or
Have you ever experienced road blocks, dead ends, shut downs, doors being slammed in your face, rejections and no matter how hard you try nothing seems to work?
Well, in the process of creating my new website I experienced all of that
and more!
And it took several Universal hits over the head before I finally got the message. I am a Taurean so I will admit I have a tendency to be strong minded, stubborn and at times a bit inflexible. So, yes in this case it took me a little while to pick up on what the Universe was putting down.
But one day, I had a light-bulb moment.
I realised was trying so hard to make things to 'my way', go according to 'my plan', and look the way 'I wanted' it to, that I completely lost sight of the fact that my inner guidance was calling me in a completely different direction.
And so, late last year I decided enough was enough. I simply decided to stop.
I stopped trying. I stopped forcing. I stopped trying to figure it all out. I stopped pushing.
I paused the design process. I stopped contacting web designers. I stopped trying to squeeze out creative ideas. And I stopped looking to other websites for inspiration. In fact, I stopped focusing on the development of my website altogether.
WHEN YOU LET GO, THINGS START TO FLOW
So, for most of December I simply let go. I surrendered.
I realised my way was not working and I became willing to see another way. I decided to turn my attention inwards. To listen. To find my inspiration inside of me. To hear my inner guidance. To tune in to the divine plan.
While nothing dramatic happened initially, the one thing I did notice was that I began to feel better. And one of the key aspects to getting in to flow, is to release whatever is blocking you from feeling good.
And so, that is what I did. I let go and I felt good. And then in the final week of December something magical happened. Everything suddenly began to move again.
Ideas came together. Inspiration bubbled forth. Clarity rose to the surface. Action's produced brilliant results. Cooperative relationships evolved. Things started flowing. I started making progress. Effortlessly and joyfully.
And as a result, a deliciously beautiful website, and oh-so-juicy ebook is on it's way to you. And all of it has been created with total and utter flow.
5 STEPS TO GET BACK IN FLOW
So, if you are experiencing any aspects of what I mentioned above, here is your 5 step prescription for getting back in the flow.
1. Stop doing.
2. Sit down.
3. Be quiet.
4. Let go.
5. Listen.
And that is all.
It really is so simple. And the minute you start doing this, I promise you that everything will begin to flow again.
Can you relate to my story? If so, I would love for you to leave a comment below
+ Do you sometimes try to force things go your way?
+ And when you do, how do you get yourself back in flow?
