Facing the Unknown and the Hazards of Overthinking

by

Person hiking in foggy hills alone facing the unknownFacing the unknown is like standing before a yawning, misty chasm. Your mind races to figure out how to navigate waves of air and nothingness, riddled with potential hazards. In a desperate effort to keep control, you think of all the worst case scenarios and overthink the ways you might avoid them. 

If overthinking wears you out, or disillusions you, you might not even step forward, but cling to the edge of your dreams, choosing comfort and safety over incalculable risk.

When you’re at a turning point with your career, as an entrepreneur, or creating a new life in other ways, you have to find a way to get comfortable with the inevitable, unfathomable unknown.

Create Your Dream Career – Grow Yourself to Match Your Dream

by

Life is too short and precious to spend it in soul-sucking jobs, or a business that drags you down, or splutters in fits and starts, like the engine of an old car on a bitterly cold, snowy morning. Even the words job, business or work can sound dry. I prefer to focus on creating a dream career, that encompasses passion, purpose and a way of life that is filled with ease and joy.

Such a grand vision sounds pie in the sky, but if we don’t expand our minds to imagine what we would love to experience, we will never get close to the rich, fulfilling life we could actually enjoy.

A dream career is a creative process. Let your dream be as big as it wants to be. Then grow yourself to match your dream.

You wish you could find it easier to unwind when you feel stressed out and anxious. Your body feels like a coiled spring. You feel stuck in your head, winding through the same mental loop over and over again. You try to unwind and relax, but you’re still tense and caught up in your thoughts.

Sometimes work and life get too much. It seems like everything’s coming at you at once. All your usual ways of dealing with stress don’t seem to be working. The more you feel stressed and anxious, the longer it takes to unwind. Yet, you don’t have the time.

Take a really deep breath.

When you feel stressed out and anxious, the key to unwinding is to be willing to let go of two things:

Focus on Your Brilliance, Not Your Failings

by

Person standing on beach at full sunrise.

Everyone is brilliant. Yet brilliance is easily obscured, undiscovered or forgotten. Train your mind to recognize and appreciate your brilliance rather than your failings.

What makes you brilliant?

Brilliance is about who you really are, without trying, doing or working out how.

Your brilliance is visible in the light that shines through you when your heart is open and your joy is sparked.

Your brilliance is your intuition, your innate knowing that guides you. This wise part of you shows you the way.

When you focus on showing up as your most brilliant self, the highest and best outcomes happen.

Feeling Stuck in the Same Old Patterns: How to Move Forward into Something New and Joyful

by

Pink Rose Is that “got to do something about this now” feeling beating in your heart? When you are feeling stuck in the same old patterns, it’s important to remember that you CAN move forward.  You can leap out of your life into something new, vital and joyful once you know where to begin.

Most people begin with their frustration over feeling stuck in the same old patterns. The bigger your dreams and goals, the more you can get frustrated with feeling stuck in the same old patterns. It’s a vicious circle. What’s happening is that you are narrowing your focus in on what makes you irritated so much that you forget who you really are. This may sound odd but you are not someone who is stuck. You are a brilliant, creative, powerful person who is on the verge of a breakthrough. No matter how you think of yourself, you fall short of seeing yourself and your abilities in their true light.

Feeling stuck in the same old patterns is an invitation to open up your heart and mind, instead of tightening them up with resistance to what is happening.
