5. Recognize and Anticipate the GIFTS and “Perfection” of your Current Storm.
Often times the greatest crises are the catalyst for remarkable growth. There are gifts for us to embrace at every step along the way. Is your business slower than you’d like? Perhaps the gift is extra time with the children or an opportunity to refine your vision. Is your spouse going through a difficult period? Perhaps this is the juncture for a life-altering change that will ultimately create more joy for you both. Does it feel that you won’t ever complete your enormous task list and your new business will never flourish? Perhaps this is an opportunity to create new systems, and create a new mindset in taking your business to the next level. Perhaps this “storm” is an opportunity for you to really “get” that you CAN remain calm and centered in the eye of any “storm”.
As I was preparing to complete my article, 6 Keys to Being Calm in the Eye of the Storm, I was overcome by feelings of anxiety, fear and taken off-balance for no apparent reason. At first, this irritated me … then I recognized the “gifts.” It allowed me to write from a greater place of personal experience, as I needed to shift my energy in order to write this article. That allows me to speak from a more authentic space, and perhaps write a more influential article. And, as I investigated the anxiety and fear, it created a new level of awareness for me, which was yet another gift.
There is always a gift. Often there are MANY.
