Inner Wisdom & Creativity Blog

Over on Women’s Wisdom Web I’ve been sharing my inner wisdom relating to “simple truths”. There’s a discussion thread in the Guidance from Donna group, currently being discussed by me, myself and I (LOL) about releasing fears, struggles and old mindsets so we can move through our lives, challenges and all, with more awareness that we are really experiencing opportunities – opportunities to change direction, to clarify more deeply what we want, to awaken to more awareness within ourselves through the process. Most of all, we are exploring the truth that “all is well”, always, no matter what.

Read the whole “discussion” here and add your thoughts (if only to save me from talking to myself!!)

Here’s a quote from the discussion…

There is FREEDOM to be discovered within you and your life. If you were to release every single expectation you feel that others have of you, including family, friends, employers, your community, the government, and even spirit itself, how would that feel? Right now, imagine there being absolutely no expectations of you. You are FREE. No-one else matters – their thoughts, beliefs and attitudes – that’s all their stuff. It’s not your stuff. You are free to do anything at all in any moment…to express yourself however you like…to be, do and have whatever your heart desires. This is how it is supposed to be.

Simplicity or complexity?

I can’t wait for 2010 because I’m launching my authentic soulful business that’s going to help women in so many ways, with the major benefit being stepping into their own authentic and powerful selves. It’s about removing all obstacles and living your dreams….but so much more than even that. Powerful stuff!

I’ve always shared my own processes with people quite openly because I know in sharing what I experience and go through, others can connect with that and learn from it too. This is also about being authentic and knowing that I help people most strongly from the place of having experienced that situation or obstacle myself – this is the coach/guide in me.

In the last couple of weeks I’ve been inspired greatly with my soulful business projects and developing them. However, I started to feel like I was going backwards again or hitting a wall. I got to the point of having my head in my hands asking “What do I do????”. I’d overwhelmed myself and lost my clarity.

‘Alas’, ’sigh’, or whatever spirit would amusingly say at watching me struggle against myself, I suddenly “got it!” this morning. “About time” I hear spirit say. But, in my usual excitement of having an “aha moment” and loving the process of life-long learning even if it means times of struggle, I have come out the other end of yet another of those internal, self-created struggles….and I LOVE it!

As I said, I’ve known that I would teach others and guide them based on my own experiences and understandings. What had I done? What was I NOT doing? I had gotten ‘busy’ with my plans and trying to do, create, and develop WITHOUT ALIGNING MY ENERGY! Oops!

This is part of being a passionate person who loves to plan and create. I get carried away sometimes and forget to check in regularly with myself – the deeper guiding self who knows the bigger picture. As an intuitive person, I could feel the types of things I would be doing in my work and I was trying to just get on with them and do them, not stopping long enough to realise that I was forgetting to align my energy by connecting with my deeper self during the process. So, I was causing myself angst when these “right” things just didn’t work (don’t ask me how many times I’ve tried to record some simple audios lately! eek!).

Lesson of the day: We must remove our sense of ‘hurry’ and desire for immediate results. If we try and bypass aligning our energy first, we just end up right back where we started, or end up going around in circles.

I have to laugh at myself. I was trying to teach without APPLYING the roadmap myself. I always knew I would “live the process” and I certainly am. I do really love it! Learning is my true love – loving the process of learning, of going through something and in a moment waking up to something you were missing. It’s delicious!

So now I’m no longer rushing to have something ‘presentable’ in regards to my soulful business. I know that it’s right now that the details and deepest insights are coming together as I commit to being in the process myself, authentically and delightfully.

Stay tuned as I share my daily processes on the Inner Wisdom & Creativity Blog. As I set myself tasks I’ll be sharing them here and I challenge you to take on the same tasks, ask the same questions, and find your own answers.

Brilliantly yours,
Donna
