Your Inner Knowing: Day 7 YouTube Business Challenge

Day 6: Nothing Time

Here’s my Day 6 contribution for the 30 Day YouTube Business Challenge and goes out to all the busy busy bees who busy themselves away from being their best self!

Day 5: The Positive Mental Attitude Myth

It’s Day 5 of the 30 Day YouTube Business Challenge!  Follow 30 International Female Entrepreneurs committed to posting a video a day filled with tips, tricks, tools and techniques to help you in all areas of your life and business!

Inspired by several of my own (past) records….”Why me?”, “I didn’t choose this life, I’m a victim of circumstance”, “Having a job you love is for the lucky few”, “I have a weak immune system” (and many more!).

I truly believe that women especially feel as though they have to hold it together and everything else despite how they are really feeling. It’s on old way of thinking that just because there are people less fortunate, that you should pull yourself together. Yes, be grateful but also be real. If you feel like shit, you gotta express it, otherwise it gets suppressed and over time emotional suppression turns into depression, physical pain, unhappiness (and so much more) and can lead to irrational behaviour. Whilst PMA is good, keeping it real and dealing with the shit is even
better!

Please leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts!

Warning: I keep it real and say it like it is

30 Day Business YouTube Challenge

We’re already 30 days into 2012 and I can hardly believe where the time has gone!  Being a new Mum certainly seems to speed time up, the days are over before I know it. One of the things I have chosen for this year is to be more present in everything I do and to enjoy the present rather than keep reaching for the future or allowing the past to get in the way.  So far so good and it just keeps on getting better and better, the energy around me has become much lighter and there’s a more genuine flow in my actions.

When my energy flows in this way (and yours too), I find that I’m taken to the exact places I need to be, I meet the people I need to know, I experience the circumstances which lead to the events I need to be part of.  And all this happens on my side without needing to know the why’s or how’s, it just happens.

I’ve been meaning to start vlogging, that’s video blogging to you and I.  In fact, it’s been on my to do list for about erm the last 4 years!  I’ve started videos, got stuck, not finished and shoved it under the carpet for a few more months before trying again.  Needless to say the cycle has never been broken and my record has been playing the same ole tune of ‘I should really do some video’.  Well, 2012 for me is my year to really shake myself out of my comfort zone.  I’ve been doing this most of my life but this year is special because I feel like I’m finally ready to share myself with the world in a much bigger way.  I have a voice that needs to be heard big time and I don’t mean in a singing kinda way, I mean in a way which offers inspiration to anyone who chooses to listen.  I’ve got so much I want to share with the you and I know video is the way to do it.

So as I sat at my husbands work desk on my first work day of 2012, I made a decision to start doing video.  It was a good, solid, strong decision.  At that point, I didn’t concern myself with the how, I simply set the intention.  The next morning I sat on my bed and did a short meditation and started to journal.  Within minutes I’d written out my plan, it came out of nowhere and felt so God damn good!  I then made a commitment by changing my website homepage to advise my visitors that I was going to be launching a series of 10 complimentary videos, where I would share the Ten Decisions which changed my life.  I was quite nervous shoving it out into the ether like that but I knew I had to commit in a way which wouldn’t allow me to back track.

Within a few days, a read a facebook post written by Placida Acheru about a project she was launching with another female entrepreneur.  Immediately I felt an energy surge and mentally noted to send over my details.  A few days had passed and I’d basically talked myself out of it, declaring to my head that I wouldn’t be good enough and there would be many other women over and above me who would be chosen to take part.  I ran this chitter chatter for a few days, until the initial surge of energy got a little louder and drowned out the pesky neggy voices.  The energy told me exactly where to go and I ended up sending Placida a message with my stats.  Within a few hours she wrote back telling me I was in! WOOOOAAAH, brilliant! However, I had no idea what I’d got myself into hee hee.  As the Universe would have it, she had guided me to THE place I needed to be which was the 30 Day Business YouTube Challenge…..I was going to be doing video in a way I hadn’t expected, amazing huh!

So here I am, one of 30 amazingly talented female entrepreneurs who have committed to taking part in a 30 day YouTube challenge, where we are to post one video a day sharing tips, tricks, tools and techniques within our expert arenas.  That’s 900 videos, WOW! kicking off on 31 January until 29 February 2012.

He said it couldn’t be done and I believed him

As the New Year approaches, we’re having a don’t drain me, radiate me week, which basically means we’re clearing out the clutter in our home, ready to bring in new energy for the new year.  The rules are Keep, Loft, Charity, Chuck.

Earlier this year we bought a moby wrap sling for our baby.  It arrived in a cute little pouch the same colour as the sling.  After taking the sling out of its pouch, Hubby boldy said “you’re never getting that back in there”.  I looked at the sling, looked at its home and thought “yep, you’re right there honey”.  I didn’t give it a second thought and for the last 5 months, the sling has lived on top of its pouch, not once did I try to fit it.  Wherever we went, the sling always ended up in another bag.

The sling, no longer being used, was destined for the loft along with its never been used little pouch.  I looked at the sling, looked at the pouch and thought, the pouch has gotta go.  Just before I chucked it, I had another thought “what if the sling fits back into its home? What if I gave it a go, after all nothing lost other than a bit of time…. ”

And would you know, the sling fitted very neatly into its little bag, no struggling, no pushing, it just fitted in easily and effortlessly.  A little wry smile formed on my face and I gave myself a gentle nudge for taking on someone else’s belief, it may only be a sling and a pouch but hey, I should have known better!

What about you, how many times have you taken on somebody else’s belief system, without giving it a second thought?

What dreams have you given up on because somebody said it couldn’t be done?

Are you going to keep listening to others before listening to yourself, in the long run selling yourself short and missing out on what’s important to you?

2012 is going to be a BIG year for many people, be prudent and watch those non-serving beliefs, whether they’re yours or someone else’s!

Think you’re Ungifted? Think Again!

For many years I believed I had zero gifts and talents.  I believed I didn’t possess any specific skills, as I wasn’t good enough at any one thing.  I believed having a job you truly loved was for the very small minority.

These beliefs were further solidified every time I sent my CV to a company applying for a new job……and there were tons of those.  In fact, in a 12 year period I changed job 8 times, can you imagine how many CV’s I had to re-write and send!

Whenever I pulled out my CV, I’d always look at the ‘interests’ section and release a big sigh “why aren’t I any good at anything?”. I could never think of anything else to write other than ‘socialising, reading books, traveling & organising charity events’.  It was my story and one I told to whomever would listen.  It went something like this ‘I wish I was good at something, every time I send my CV for a job, I can never think of anything to write in the interests section, can you?  I mean I wasn’t born with any particular talents, not like the lucky ones who are good at singing or dancing or acting or painting or playing sports or musical instruments’.

My story happened to be the truth, I wasn’t any good at those things.  So I trudged along searching for a job that at least made me happy and felt rewarding.  Every time I thought I had it, it didn’t take long before I was bored to tears, going on a new search for the next best thing.  And that was my life, always searching for something more but never quite finding what I wanted.  This left me feeling unhappy, unfulfilled and unsuccessful.

Looking back from where I am now, I can giggle at the way I saw myself.  Ungifted PAH! I couldn’t have been further from the truth.  I have gifts coming out of my ears, the problem I had back then was that I had no idea how to identify them.

This is the same for those of you who also think and believe you aren’t Gifted.  You are a Gifted Soul!  How do I know?  Because your Soul wouldn’t have chosen to incarnate in this and every lifetime if you didn’t have Gifts to share with the world.  You also wouldn’t be reading this article right now

Here are 3 ways you can start to recognise your inherent Gifts:

1. What did you love to do as a child?

I was always the centre of attention wanting to put on a show and make people smile.  On play dates, I would gather all of my friends and direct & act in some sort of play, then I would actively find the audience.  This was the Performer Gift in me, fully expressing itself.  Sadly these gifts stopped being nurtured as I grew into an adult.  Thankfully, I recovered them and now successfully use these Gifts to speak to large audiences and host Workshops.  And there was me thinking for all those years, I wasn’t good at any one thing!

If you have children, you can easily pick up their Gifts by observing how they play and what they enjoy doing most.  Make it a top priority to nurture these Gifts in them, they’ll thank you when they’re older!

Close your eyes, cast your mind back to play times, either with friends or when you were alone, watch the child that you were, as though you were watching someone you know.  What is this little person doing naturally and effortlessly?  Write them down and let yourself connect with them.

2. What are you a collector of?

Unexpressed Gifts have to reveal themselves in some way.  Take a look at the things you collect without thinking of them as a collection or hobby.  Here’s an example for you.  A woman came to me because she felt her life was stuck and she didn’t know how to move forward.  I asked her to take a look around her home and pick out things she had an abundance of.  Very quickly, through a little giggle, she said there were pens everywhere.  When I asked her if she journaled or took time to write, she said no but it was something she always wanted to do.

I told her straight out, “your Soul is telling you you have the Gift of Writing, start by journaling what’s on your mind, exercise your writing muscle and soon enough it will flow out of you without you having to try’ .  She took a moment and connected with this part of her and immediately felt unstuck.  This was also true for another client who collected notepads and journals.  She has such a beautiful way of expressing herself through her writing but never saw it as a gift to pursue.  And then there’s yours truly who had been collecting pens and notepads for years without ever thinking there was a reason why!  The message here to all three of us (and you if you do the same) was to get writing and let those Gifts flourish!

What do you collect and what are they reflecting back at you?  Take some time to be quiet and still, you have all the answers!

3. What do people tell you you’re good at but you pass it off as nothing?

Your friends and family will have told you a million times ‘Oh you’re so good at ………’ and each time you’ll shrug it off and pass a comment along the lines of ……how easy it is and anyone can do it.  Stop right there!  Not everyone can do what you do, the way you do it, these are your Gifts and you are Unique.  Combined, your Gifts and Talents are like no others.

Ask the people closest to you what you do that they can’t and straight away you’ll get an insight into your Gifts.  You express your Gifts and Talents easily and effortlessly, that’s why you’re able to do them so well without ever realising how valuable they are.

Take some time to become aware of the things you do easily, which others don’t find as easy to do.  Then take notice of the situations you tend to be in when these Gifts are flowing.  You’ll be amazed at what you’ll discover about yourself.

Finally, just know, you are here for a reason, you have lots to share with the world, you are a Gifted Soul!
