Taking Time to Cocoon

I launched my business in October 2018.  I had so much happened during the 8 months leading up to June 2019.  I took some leaps, had some setbacks, started a side job, and put so much pressure on myself!

I realized in June that I needed some time for me.  Ironically, my card for my year-ahead spread in June also said the same thing.  I was gentle with myself in taking this time off.  I reminded myself that nothing was going to end because I simply needed time to rest and re-adjust.  Time to really decide what I wanted with my business and my life.  Time to work with a coach around my money mindset (something I have been working on for over a year).  

During this break I got some great insights and downloads.  I realized I was still playing small with my life and my company.  I realized I have this deep burning desire to host workshops filled with womxn ready to up-level their lives and stand in their power.  I realized that I needed a moment to reflect and dive deep.  A moment to lean-in to my own fear and really work on surrender. 

It wasn’t easy for me to mostly take an entire month away from working my business.  Some days I found myself in a state of worry over losing social media followers, not writing for my blog, etc.  I had to remind myself that anyone who is truly aligned with me as a follower or client will still be there after my break. 

June was so opening for me.  It was nice to pause and reflect. It allowed me to recognize and celebrate all the great things I have accomplished and how far I have come in the past 12 months. It helped me recognized places I still haven’t fully healed and things that I still needed to work through.

This is my reminder to be gentle with yourself through your healing and growth.  To remember that you do not always have to be “on” to be moving forward.  That life often doesn’t work the way we think it should and generally the path forward appears when we surrender. 

Here is to taking regular time to be “off”.  To allowing myself to truly celebrate my successes.  To dive deep into my own growth and acknowledge my desires.

Surrender is one of my words for 2019 and I fully intend on spending the rest of this year really feeling that and letting go.
