Diary of an Entrepreneurial Mum

“Doubt yourself and you doubt everything you see. Judge yourself and you see judges everywhere. But if you listen to the sound of your own voice, you can rise above doubt and judgment. And you can see forever.” Nancy Lopez

As a full-time mum with a part-time job and growing my entrepreneurial business 'Lifenergy', I find it all too easy to either doubt myself or judge the decisions I make. This self-doubt creeps in every now and again when I feel uncertain about the 'right' next steps to take, especially when growing my business.

Listening to what I call my 'wise inner voice' and really hearing what it has to say, doesn't have to take a lot of effort (as I discovered recently). In my current lifestyle pattern, meditating for 20 minutes or even 10 minutes for that matter, doesn't work for me. I think it's really about finding those moments of stillness amongst all the noise of my busy life to hear and know what's right for me. To know that deep down I am making the right choices all the time.

I grab these moments of stillness wherever I can, for example:
The pause after parking the car.
Walking to pick up my daughter.
Breaking off from emails to look out of the window.

All this listening is definitely helping me stay focused on what I need to do for the future. My vision is clear and exciting. I have lots of ideas and the energy is flowing effortlessly. Big smiles :)

Happy listening!

“No one can go back and make a brand new start. Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.” Source Unknown

I love this quote because it reminds me of the saying 'it's never too late'. This comes in handy when on the odd occasion I start to think to myself "Oh, if I'd done things different", or "if I'd started certain things sooner" blah, blah, blah.

I'm up for constantly starting from now and making fantastic brand new endings. Sometimes the bit in between is the more challenging part. I know where I am right now and how that feels and I know where I want to be. But how can I use positive statements/thinking to get from one to the other? I'll use money as an example. If I'm currently feeling there's a lack around money and I want to move to a place of abundance, saying right now "I am abundant" might not feel realistic or attainable. I find using the words "I'm becoming ..." helps me experience a positive shift towards my goal and it feels realistic. So I would prefer to say "I'm becoming rich" or "I'm becoming wealthy". Some other examples are:

I'm becoming abundant.
I'm becoming healthier.
I'm becoming more relaxed.
I'm becoming fitter.

I also want to thank Teri Thomas for helping me make a positive shift in this area. Her wisdom, clarity and support is priceless!

Happy becoming!
