Do You Know Your Main Thing?

 

 

It’s your core gift to the world.  It inspires you, scares you and delights you.

Your main thing is what you stand up for even when pinned against the wall.

You dream about your main thing.  It gives you energy and joy.

Your main thing is what you get known for in your business.

Your main thing can be a combination of several beliefs that you hold (for me, it’s helping values-based businesses (values are a main thing for me) grow into remarkable companies (impact is my other main thing).

If you are unclear about your main thing, business-growth AND peace-of-mind becomes difficult and your confidence suffers.

Once you know your main thing, you become unstoppable.  Your success is defined by happiness, confidence, financial benefits and the impact you always wanted to have on the world.

How can you discover your main thing with all that is out there to distract you?
1.   Make time for yourself!  Drop your to-do list and make the discovery of your main thing the most important “thing” to do.
2.   Remove all logic from your mind, meaning ignore for a while all the voices telling you how your main thing is impractical, impossible and unattainable.
3.   Write, write and write.  Don’t censor. Let your pen flow.
4.   Continually ask yourself the question: “What would I do if I was not afraid, not tied down, not limited? What would I do, say or even think if I was brave?
5.   Then let your main thing “float” over you, get a hold of you, capture you.  Let it give you energy and courage.

Know that the world needs you to express your main thing. We need you to be courageous, we need your strong message, we need you to be YOU!

We want to know what makes you different.
We’ll pay you well for your distinctiveness, your uniqueness. Let me know your main thing. Get a discussion started on the blog.  Spread your wings; let us hear your voice.

As I am delighted with my main thing of becoming the go-to-person for conscious entrepreneurs who want help launching their amazing life-affirming products into the world, it makes my heart sing that I can be part of that process and with it make the world a better, fairer place.

Let us know yours.
What’s your main thing? If you know it will you honor us by sharing it?

Give Yourself A Gift That Lasts A Lifetime

 

How do you take time each day for you? What habits do you have to tend to your inner garden? Choose 3 ways to give back to yourself each day and notice what changes occur in your life.

Intellectually we know how the benefits of making time to take care of ourselves. It makes us happier, more creative, fun to be with, healthier, peaceful and more productive in our business.

What stops us and how do we get in our own way?

We forget to just be; to take time to enjoy the quality of our lives and give back. A to do checklist does not fill our souls. I was reminded of this lesson yesterday in my son’s first grade classroom. Every child sat in a circle and told the other children one creative thing that they liked about the other person. It was simple yet magical!

Here are 7 fun creative ideas to take time out and be good to yourself:

1. Read poetry or an inspiring new book and feel uplifted by the message.

2. Exercise for 30 minutes and feel refreshed.

3. Attend a yoga class and reconnect with your body. Greater posture and health are the direct result.

4. Meditate and quiet your mind. It allows you to focus on your intuition.

5. Spend time in nature and dream.

6. Start a gratitude journal and notice not only what you are grateful for in your life but the little miracles that begin to occur.

7. Participate in a spiritual practice regularly. It is an anchor for the life shifts that happen.

Developing habits and times in your day to tend your inner garden is not a luxury. It is an absolute necessity to live in the moment, develop your intuition and pay attention to the synchronicities that occur in your life. Giving to yourself creates joy and a feeling of contentment.

Here is a excerpt from a poem by Doris K. Reed.

“Tending My Garden”

Daily I will tend my garden.

I will nuture it with patience,

constantly guard against uncertainty,

doubt, and disbelief,

and water with affirmations from the

well of divine right action.

May you form daily habits that fill your soul,

Lydia
