Feeling Overwhelmed in Your Business: Take Time to Listen to the Reason Why

by

Big tree roots - get to the root of feeling overwhelmed in your businessWhen you work alone, as a solopreneur or entrepreneur, without a team or support system, you can sometimes feel overwhelmed by all the actions you think you need to take each day. If feeling overwhelmed in your business is a pattern that you find yourself in often, the best approach is to find out what is beneath the overwhelm.

There is a lot of information around on the practical steps you can take to move past overwhelm into action. You may be familiar with several already. For example, breaking down each project into small steps and deciding which project you will begin with.

However, if prioritization and breaking down projects into small steps isn’t working for you, or would work if you could get past a deeper rooted paralysis, then take a ten minute break to dig deeper.

Not Feeling Joy in Life: Find Your Truth and Live The Full You

by

Sunlit Path in Redwoods - when not feeling joy in life, find your truthHave you noticed that you are not feeling joy in life? If you yearn for a sense of completeness and a richer, fuller life, choose to honor your truth. Discover how to find your real truth, the truth that makes you feel alive, rather than the false truth that flattens you.

Many years ago, unhappy in my marriage and not feeling joy in life, I attended a personal growth workshop where I burst into tears, sobbing that I was “living half a life.” My words seem to land in every woman’s heart that day. One of them approached me later to say that she realized that she too was living half a life. She promptly announced that she was leaving her job and moving. She drove off to live in another city. I faced the truth of how I really felt about my marriage and ended it. This was the right choice for me at the time, and in retrospect.

Since then, I have had billions of opportunities to face my truth. Each day, I have to find what is true for me. Sometimes my truth is obvious; my truth moves me into action that feels good and right. Other times I can wrestle with my truth, trying to convince myself that it’s really something else. I don’t know quite why I’m sometimes unwilling to face my truth, because I suffer the consequences. I feel small, incapable, confused, anxious, tired and don’t enjoy life. However, when I find, face and follow my truth, I feel alive, vibrant and joyful. I am courageous and free inside, which results in me feeling enriched by who I am and by the richness of life.

If you are not feeling joy in life, take some time to reflect on what is going on in your heart.

Most importantly, find and honor your truth. Follow the career that calls you deep in your heart, make your business joyful, or launch yourself into the special project that makes your heart sing. Life is too short to settle for second best.

Here are three steps you can take to find your truth: [Read more…] about Not Feeling Joy in Life: Find Your Truth and Live The Full You
