You may be thinking: “What does living your passion have to do with growing a successful business”? The answer: EVERYTHING!

When you’re living your passion, you’re happy and in flow with the universe. You’re no longer in resistance. This is key to getting more accomplished in less time with less effort and more fun (my specialty topic).

Sounds easy enough. So why isn’t everyone living their passion?

This is a deep, ongoing topic. I want to go ahead and give you a few keys to increasing your awareness so you can make choices that deliberately lead to YOUR ideal lifestyle.

So often, we’ll pray to God or ask the Universe for the answer or help.

The answer comes and we say “no”. No, that’s not what I want to do. No, I don’t want to pay for a class that will teach me how to solve this problem. Or, commonly, no – I have a better way.

Why do we say no when the solution to our situation has been given? (Pay attention here, your clients are doing this to you too)

I’ve noticed many will say I want to do _______, someday. It sounds good. I know it will help – in the future – not today. Human nature is interesting. They ask for the solution now, the solution is given, and they say no.

No is often someone actually saying: “I don’t feel worthy yet”.  We may be feeling overwhelmed, disempowered or unclear about the outcome. We may be thinking way down the road instead of staying focused on what’s in front of us right now. This certainly turns into overwhelm and uncertainty. It’s like trying to listen to music on 109.7FM while tuned into 108AM.

You’re not going to get what you want until you CLEARLY IDENTIFY what you want, say YES when the solution comes to you, and FOLLOW THROUGH 100%.

How do you know you’re on the right track or following the ego?

When you’re on the right track you feel empowered, happy, fulfilled and in the flow with God and the Universe. When it’s the ego, you may feel safe – staying in your comfort zone. However, you’ll soon have that reoccurring feeling of discontent nagging at you to grow…. and then, that previous inspiration will return to you again. It’s a process of increasing your awareness and consciously/purposely expanding and creating your life.

How do you tune into this awareness?

You must be out of your mind (I couldn’t resist this play on words). Literally, you want to relax the mind because it’s the mind and mental chatter that keeps you from tapping into Source/God/Universe, thus, keeping you busily spinning in circles. You become frustrated because you’re working your tail off and not accomplishing your goals.

Simple exercises to relax the mind:

Breathe ~ in for the count of three and out for the count of five (this keeps the mind focused while you relax). Focus on the color blue. The color blue is used in healing modalities for soothing and relaxing emotionally, along with calming physical inflammation.

Meditate ~ Listen to soft music without lyrics. Allow yourself to feel within and to connect to your higher-self/God/Source/Universe.

Gentle stretching ~ Listen to your body, feel your body. Let go completely and just feel your own presence.

I Am Awareness ~ Declare out loud “I AM one with God/Source/Universe.

Do these exercises while on your “me breaks”, at lunch, upon just waking up, before retiring for the evening, during yoga, while hiking, etc.

I also recommend connecting with a group of like-minded professionals who want to expand their consciousness and deliberately create their ideal lifestyle.
