Being Present To Your Inner Brilliance

Being Present To Your Inner Brilliance

“To make the right choices in life, you have to get in touch with your soul. To do this, you need to experience solitude, which most people are afraid of, because in the silence you hear the truth and know the solutions.” - Deepak K. Chopra

In the last week I have had three inspirational ideas to grow my business. All three of these ideas that have been popping around in my mind for a little while and last week, I began thinking more seriously about taking action to develop these ideas into new services.

In the past, my pattern has been to move quickly (sometimes impulsively) on thoughts that feel exciting or have that intuitive nudging to “do it now.” This time I felt a slight hesitation, which is one of my indicators that I need to get present to what I am thinking and feeling by tuning into my spirit. Many times, what seemed like a great idea, didn’t net the results I had hoped for and slowing down to explore these ideas more fully felt important.

When exploring new business ideas, some key questions can be enlightening

1. What’s my purpose?

2. What do I wish to accomplish? My objectives? Benefits to others?

3. Do I feel juiced and excited?

4. What actions do I feel inspired to take?

5. Do I have everything I need to move forward? Am I missing anything like people, systems, a website, equipment….?

6. Is this the right time?

7. What comes after? If I’m offering a program or service and people, what can I offer people as a next step?

When I feel unsure, clarity comes to me by taking walks in nature, meditating, writing, and having conversations with a few trusted friends. This year I made a deliberate decision to say yes to the things that feel Divinely inspired and aligning my actions with smart strategies so I am in the “flow.”

I will continue to take follow my intuition when it yells, DO IT NOW! And for the other times that don’t have the same feeling of inspired urgency, I’m committing to keep tuning in and listening to the whispers and nudges of my spirit. I know that when I follow my inner brilliance, what I manifest in my life is greater than anything I could have humanly imagined.

I encourage you to do the same. Take time to slow down, create space to tune in and listen to your heart even if it is just a few minutes. Be open to the commune with your wise Self.

If you are having difficulty being present because of all the stress and anxiety you might be feeling, do this quick exercise I learned from my friend, Christine Kloser.

1. Stand up and take 1- 3 deep breaths
2. Smile with a big grin
3. Take one step forward in trust
4. Place both hands over your heart (in the center of your chest) and say out loud, “All is well”.

Have a great day!
