I DON’T FEEL LIKE Businessing this week
This week my energy has been extremely low. I always imagine in times like this, ROCK STAR”Business Owners FAKE IT TIL THEY MAKE IT, or they NO PAIN NO GAIN IT.
Not me. I settle into this lethargy and allow it to take me on a ride. I live my life in emotional waves.
I sometimes refer to these times as my quarterly mid-life crisis…because that’s about how often this occurs.
I used to fight it when I was younger. But the more I fought, the longer it lasted.
Now I stop fighting as soon as I realize what’s happening. my body and mind are telling me I’ve done enough and It’s time to take a break.
Lord knows my conscious brain won’t do it for me, so my unconscious mind takes over.
I was taught to Hustle and physically work hard. I transferred that mentality to my brain and at some point decided that if I’m not mentally working hard, I’m not valuable. But as time goes on, I see the lie in this.
I have never been effective when I’m overloaded, But my stubborn brain just won’t give up! Even if it takes me 4 times longer to complete a task, I resist the urge to stop and give myself the space to really think.
Hustle and hard work are easy.
THINKING IS HARD!
Thinking takes freedom and stillness, Something I struggle with.
The deep work that will grow me and my companies only come from taking the time to think.
Thinking feels a lot like laziness, which is the opposite of what I have been conditioned to feel.
But that’s exactly what I need.
My brain is most alive when I give myself the space and luxury of thinking.
Turns out Being unproductive is the best gift I can give myself.
My unconscious mind always knows what I need long before “I” recognize it.
