Are you craving “it?” Even if you don’t have the words for it yet? That vibrant, alive feeling? As a top performer, it is in your DNA to always want to grow.
Here’s the thing: MORE is not the answer.
No. You already know how to work hard, how to “deliver the goods” no matter what.
Can you allow yourself to pause? Rest? Regroup? Do nothing for a bit?
You can call it transformation, or you can call it personal development. On some level you know that alignment with your most honest self is the essence of your effectiveness as a leader. It clears your vision and gives new life to what could otherwise be a routine job.
This doesn’t need to be a big change. Sometimes the right micro-change will move you gently into a new direction to give an exciting and fulfilling outcome. Sometimes no one else will even notice much change, except you’ll feel lighter, freer, more like yourself.
There’s a great study from…wait a minute. Studies are great. But you don’t need some expert to tell you what you know in your heart. Are you craving a more real connection with yourself, or a way to breathe new life into your work? Believe this craving! YOU are in charge of your life. (This does not mean to become bull headed & never listen to anyone. It means balance – and learn to listen more deeply to your inner voice.)
Take a few moments right now, pause, & let your imagination go wild for a few minutes. Privately. Just for you. Write down (write FAST – no censoring) “if I could be, do, have (3 columns) ANYTHING that would bring me greater joy, freedom, fulfillment, expression, sense of alignment with my truest self, what would I want?”
Write this out now. I’ll wait. Any scrap of paper will do.
OK, How was that? I’d love to hear what came up!
If you’d like to chat (no obligation) I’ll have available times after November 10, so contact me directly here.
Before that date, I am out of the office, refreshing my alignment. I DO walk my talk.
And, I believe in you.
