STEPS TO UNCOVERING YOUR TRUE POWER
Do you feel like your SOUL is screaming?
Do you feel like you were meant for more?
Do you feel like you need outside permission to be great?
I GET IT… because I have been there.
I know what the call for more feels like.
I know what it feels like to have a deep knowing you’re here for something big but you feel paralyzed.
I know how painful it is to remain silent.
I know how suffocating it can be not to listen to those whispers within you.
I know what it’s like to ask permission if it’s OK to be BIG.
I hear your doubt, but more importantly I see your gifts!
I know what’s possible, and I know you were meant for this!
In fact, you were uniquely designed for this.
That’s why I am here - to give you the road map you act on that deep yearning and to get you from where you are now to where you want to go. I’m not saying it will always be easy, but I am by your side, encouraging you to say YES to that call and your next level of personal and professional growth.
K, that sounds great but how the hell do I get started?
I got you!
BELOW ARE 5 ACTIONABLE STEPS TO GET YOU STARTED:
1. SILENCE THE NOISE
In order to get clear on YOUR heart’s desire, you have to get into a quiet place so you can hear it. Each day, we are being overloaded with disruptive and distracting “noise” – the opinions of others, societal norms, our ego, etc. It can be both confusion and paralyzing.
To get clear, you have to give yourself time to sit in silence and be with YourSelf. I will refer to the Capital S a lot. Meaning your BIG SELF your “GOD” Self as opposed to your smaller self your “EGO self”.
Find a quiet place and place your hand on your heart. Take 5 long deep belly breaths. And when you’re ready, invite your higher self to come forward. Once your greatest advisor has arrived, thank them for showing up as they have something powerful to share with you. When you feel ready, write down any “downloads”, answers, or new perspective you receive in a notebook.
2. ASK YOURSELF EMPOWERING QUESTIONS AND LISTEN
Ask YourSelf the below questions and write what you hear/feel/comes up in a notebook {{whenever I start to doubt or feel overwhelmed, I like to go back a reference what I wrote down and remember my truth}}. There is no right or wrong way to do this. Know that whatever comes up is your spirit speaking to you.
Answer the below:
“What is it that you would like to share with me?”
“Thank you for sharing - is there anything else you would like me to know?”
“Is there a specific way you would like me to start moving your request forward?”
“Is there anything else you want me to know?”
Once you have completed this, write the following in your notebook: “Thank you for coming. I forgive myself for anytime I ever questioned your voice or chose not to listen to your guidance.”
3. SAY YES
I have found saying yes or giving yourself permission can be difficult because as soon as we do we can then get in our head, feel overwhelmed with self-doubt or old insecurities can start to surface. You can expect this. This is normal and you DO NOT need to believe. It is a choice – and your willingness to say yes, amidst your own doubt, is the first step to change.
Accepting you’re not satisfied with where you are and making the Soul Centered decision to change it is where we all must begin. So, what does that actually look like? For me it was a form of personal and public declaration; however, you get to choose what feels best for you. It can be internal personal proclamation, a moment of tears, a moment looking yourself in the mirror, a written resignation later, I have even had friends host their own funeral. You do what feels best for you but do it.
There is no better time than the present. Say YES to YourSelf and your dream NOW!
4. CREATE AN ACTION PLAN
Whether you are choosing to go on a new business endeavor, start your own company, get a new health result, leave a relationship, or move, it is helpful to have a starting place. You will never know how to do something until you’ve already done it. You do not need to see the path and know how it will unfold. Now that you have said yes, you just need to take one step.
Having an initial action plan helps you stay focused and motivated.
When creating my own action plans, below are the initial questions I have ask and answer:
What is my mission?
What is my vision?
What are my core values?
Who am I here to serve?
What is their core need?
How can I best serve that need?
Where do you want to be in 5 years?
Where do you want to be in 3 years?
Where do you want to be in 1 year?
Where do you want to be in the next 90 days?
What can I achieve in the next month?
What is my winning “DAILY Business Playbook” I can put in place?
What advisors do I need to seek support and guidance?
Who can I mastermind with?
Who are leading experts in my industry that I can connect with?
Who do I need on my team?
Who am I here to serve?
Who is my target market?
What are the top 10 things I need to do to get started?
What are 3 small action steps I can take today to put this in motion?
Grab your pen and notebook and answer these for YourSelf. Again, there is no right or wrong, it's about starting. These are likely to change as you progress on your journey.
Additionally, success is created through a series of small wins because these small wins build momentum for the big wins. And surprisingly, our brain doesn’t actually know the difference between small wins and large wins. All it wants is to win and build momentum forward.
5. RELEASE YOUR GRASP
“I can’t do this on my own – Someone watchin’ this shit close” - Drake
You cannot and will not do this all on your own {{unlike what we are told to believe}} Therefore, we must release our plan to the care and guidance of a higher power.
While it is important to be clear on your vision and/or goal, it is equally important to be open to the HOW it will all come together. I will tell you now, it will be much different than you imagined. When you are open, you will be given the teachers, guides, advisors, and tools to get over the unforeseeable roadblocks and bumps. This is all part of your growth and will help you serve the highest good.
We must “Allow” something greater to use us to bring this vision forward. After all it didn’t come from you in the first place. It chose you to bring it to life.
