The best thing I learned in Vienda Maria’s business course Her Way was to surrender to the energy of my business. If you do it right, the entire process is one that grows you spiritually. It awakens you to your own subtleties.
For example, when you’re beginning to feel a bit bitter, or like your work is going unappreciated, that is a sign something is internally off. The thing is- you’re not doing anything for the reaction from others, even though you might think you do. Everything you do is simply to express your highest self and bring your vision to fruition. You truly, honestly, do not care about how much recognition you get. Sure, it’s nice, it’s really nice, but it’s just icing on the cake.
What success actually feels like is to be in total integrity. That’s where it starts and ends. It’s complicated when you’re not even sure which values are your own and which you just passively collected through your life experience. Especially those of us who are empathetic will really fight with this- confusing other people’s opinions or fears with their own. So I believe that even though we say we’re scared of judgment- I hypothisize that this is simply a decoy thought. I think what we’re actually scared of is not living our highest expression, but that is just less obvious and less discussed.
I know this from personal experience. The thing is, I’m not really afraid of anything. I feel pretty optimistic in general about how things work. BUT sometimes I get confused and start subconsciously trying to emulate people I admire or am jealous of. It eventually will emerge into my awareness in the form of feeling uneasy, unsure, like “what am I doing?” Now I know this is all just a signal that I need to slow down, relax and find my center again. When I’m engaging with the world from my center, then I am easy breezy:)
Thanks to HERWAY, I know what to do when this happens. I know how to tune into myself. This feminine and relaxed way of running a business is the only way that I can be successful. I know this because I am SO efficient and productive when I am relaxed. There is no possibility for burnout. That’s how you build a business that is sustainable, and not fall victim to the stress epidemic.
