↗️ SHIFT OF THE WEEK:
Gratitude is the Shortcut!
You don't need more strategy right now.
You need to shift your state.
Gratitude isn't about ignoring the hard or pretending everything is fi ne.
It's about deciding where you want to put your focus - even in the middle of all the chaos or when things go to hell in a handbasket!
Because anyone can be grateful when things are going GREAT, that's easy!
..... When the business is exploding, the kids are behaving, you're feeling good, your relationships are thriving - being grateful comes natural!
But what about when things just feel HARD?
You know what I mean - things like - the launch not going well, you are short on money for the mortgage, the kids are melting down or having challenges at school or with friends, or there is tension in your relationships .......that's when it's HARD to find the gratitude. Right?
During these times, it's easy to let your mind spiral, and start thinkinga bout all the challenges.
Instead, shift and find ONE small thing to hold onto and focus on!
Even in the stormiest of seasons, there is always something you can choose to focus on that is good!
It's a mindset reset, and most importantly - it's the ENERGY that attracts more!
Because here's the truth -
You can't be in a state of lack AND be in a state of gratitude at the same time.
It's impossible because one ALWAYS cancels out the other!
So if you're craving momentum, alignment, or just some small freakin' relief from the pressure - GRATITUDE is your way forward!
It's the short cut that will get you there time and time again!
⭐ Your Action Step for this week!
Before the day gets ahead of you, just STOP for a minute and write down 3 things you're deeply grateful for right now.
Go specific, go heartfelt, and go beyond the obvious.
So, not: "I'm grateful for my kids."
Instead: "I'm grateful for the way my son came up to me and gave me a hug when he saw I was overwhelmed."
Then, after you have sat with your list of 3, ask yourself this question:
"How would I show up today if I already had everything I'm working for?"
THAT is the energy that shifts outcomes!
🗣️ REAL TALK MOMENT:
If you're waiting to feel grateful AFTER you hit your goal then you're waiting too long.
Gratitude is NOT the result of having more. It's the reason more flows TO you!
When I was building my first business with 3 little ones at home, there were days I lost gratitude because (like ALL enterpreneurs!) I was hitting roadblocks and struggles - and I was constantly thinking about how much further ahead I should have been.
Especially when I looked around on social media and saw others having crazy success!
Usually, when I see others have success, it makes me EXCITED, because my normal mindset is that "if someone else is doing it, that means I can too!"
The thing is, when I started that business my sole intention was to just earn a few hundred dollars every week so I could be home with the kids and not have to return to my teaching career.
That was it.
I had NO intentions of creating a six figure producing business like I ended up creating.
And even though that business provided a life for me that I never would have imagined in a million years, I found myself one day standing in my closet thinking about how annoyed I was with my business.
I was getting angry and resentful toward it.
And it was because I kept focusing on where I thought I should be instead of how far I had already come.
Ever heard of the Gap vs. the Gain? (Great book, and highly recommend by the way!)
I was living in the GAP. Basically, instead of measuring how far I have come from where I started, I was measuring how far I still had to go to get my "ideal".
I had LOST gratitude.
And then when I realized the problem was me losing gratitude, I felt so guilty and angry with myself for feeling this way about my business.
My business - one of the biggest blessings in my life!
The business that gave me the GREATEST gift of all - TIME with my kids!
⌛ Never missing a moment with any of them.... Time - the one thing you can never get back.
And there I stood all wrapped up in looking so far ahead that I couldn't even see how far I had already come and all it had done for my family and I.
That's when I pulled the gratitude back in.
And that little voice I whispered to myself:
"I'm so grateful this business allowed me to be home with all my babies."
"I'm so grateful I'm learning."
"I'm so grateful this business has allowed me to positively impact so many other women all over the world."
This is something that we always have to be
