A NOTE FROM THE CATALYST
What a wild and woolly start to
the new year! In the last few weeks, I have helped my client connect with a
guardian spirit in her house (yes, I do hands-on 'woo-woo' from time to
time), had a week-long vacation become a 21-hour trip to Las Vegas,
reconnected with a diligent self-care plan of action, doubled the size of
my mailing list (yay!), hosted my dinner gathering where all the amazing
people I know meet all the other amazing people I know, and have more
pieces and parts ready for the Igniting Your Business Soul 2007 event
(which is coming FAST!). Naturally, there's more, but I won't bore you with
the details.
The point is that everything that I thought I would get done didn't happen,
and things that I didn't know I needed to do got done. I could not have
predicted things happening the way they have - altogether, I know there's
progress toward my goals, because it's so much better than I could have
asked for, but it hasn't been happening the way I thought it would (like I
can tell the Universe how to do it for me anyway...).
May
the Universe be working toward your benefit as well in this new year!
(Personally, I have a whole new appreciation for virtual seat belts!!!)
Here's to you - and the Universe! ~

INTUITIVE LIVING
Purpose
and Path Have to Meet
So, along with my new-found extreme flexibility in adapting to each day,
one of the things I've come to remember - as my life is busy doing - is
that just because I CAN doesn't mean that I SHOULD. In fact, it's an
inversely proportionate relationship that states the following: as busy as
I am is as overwhelmed as I feel. Which means that it feels like the busier
I am, the more I feel I need to be doing to get everything done that I want
and need to do. It's a vicious cycle, isn't it? As hard as I push to get
all my to do list done is as many more things I discover need to get done.
(Actually, that's probably the law of attraction at work there, when I
think about it like that...but that's for another time...)
After
doing much personal transformation work, and the work that I do with my
clients that helps me to stay present with walking my talk in every way,
AND the many lessons learned with the proverbial V-8 slaps to the forehead
to prove it, I have now figured out to listen when the Universe sends me a
message. And I realized that I have been getting a message for some time
now... that is, I am not as good at some things as I am at others, and
there are people who are really good at the things I am not. Further, by me
continuing to do the things I am not as good at, I am actually withholding
opportunities for people who are really good at those things to do them.
So,
follow me here... by me NOT allowing people to do those things they do
really well (which are the same things that I do not), I am actually
blocking my energy and taking time away from the things that I, and only I,
do really well. And if I don't do the things that only I can do, they will
never see the light of day and actually get done. And that would be the
travesty of it all...
I
realized that my triggers for that are several: knowing when I'm too busy
with my to do list and yet adding to it, when I'm feeling the emotional
pinch between being a mere mortal and my ever-growing to do list, when I
get things done that weren't even ON my to do list in the first
place...these are the messages for me to know that it's time to figure out
what things I don't need to do anymore so that I can stay on track with my
true purpose (the things that only I can do, like create new ideas and help
my clients remember who they are to get more of what they want on a deeper
level).
And now, the big question: what are you doing that is taking you off your
purpose - and that by your not delegating them is keeping someone else from
living theirs
Three Things You Can Do Today:
- See the
point where purpose and path come together. That is,
your path may have taken you to where you could do many things,
like... clean your house, buy groceries, balance your checkbook and do
your taxes. BUT, just because you CAN do these things doesn't mean
that you should anymore. It's time to look at your purpose... if you
find that your time gets sucked away, and, in the extreme, you feel
drained by your life, it's time to look at what you're doing that you
don't need to do anymore. There is someone who enjoys making the world
a cleaner place, who loves to run errands and lives to make the
numbers work. As someone else does those things, you are freed up to
do more of what only you can do...you have more time on your path to
live your life purpose..
- Pay
attention to where your time goes throughout the day. I mean,
really assess how you are spending your precious time! Time is the one
commodity we can never get more of...our clock is ticking from the day
we are born. Notice if your day disappears in trivia or projects or
things that make you want to have someone else's life; if in a week's
time, you find that five hours or more is spent doing something that
someone else could do, and probably better, that's a sure place to
start delegating. Be present in the time of your life so you can spend
it how you want to, doing what expresses your unique purpose and makes
you happy.
- Look at the
bigger picture. Consider what it is that you want to
accomplish in the next 30 days, and then look at what could be between
you and your goal(s). If there is anything between you and your goal
that can be handled by someone else, offload it immediately. If the
first thing you think is 'I can't afford to hire someone', that's a
temporary condition. Get creative and find ways to barter, pay over
time, do it another way, re-prioritize or simply release doing it at
all to help you stay focused on what moves you toward your bigger
goal.
All
in all, pay attention to what moves you forward and what holds you back.
Look at where your time can be better served by doing something different
and be scrupulous in your time management. Your life / path / purpose is
what's at stake...

My
intention is to help you access your own knowingness, remember who you are
at your essential self, and align everything you do with your true purpose.
By aligning in this way, you are activating universal energies to attract

resources is what shows that you are already in motion for a new way of being.
It's about manifesting on purpose.

will be sharing some key concepts you can use to effectively leverage
technology, including an overview of cutting-edge Web 2.0 to do just that.
