How to maximize your alone/home time
If you’re like most of us - creators, makers, visionaries, healers, thought leaders, activists - we were born to lead. We can’t just put down our tools and “wait” for something else to come along. Coming onto this planet, we were literally encoded with a desire to disrupt and shift the status quo. To collaborate. To speak the truth.
Though people like us go through moments (or months or even years) of stillness and hibernation, it’s always in preparation for something greater, grander, more inspiring in the near term. We hold our vision precious, because we know it guides us to more interesting and curious experiences.
In this moment of stillness and hibernation right now, there’s a re-awakening of our power - our purpose or our truth. The thing that’s always niggling us and making us restless and making us want to embody it, do it, speak it.
That “thing” is the idea that chose us. Contrary to what people think, our ideas nearly always choose us. They choose us because they believe us to have the necessary capabilities, networks, skills, heart, and foresight/vision to actually make them happen in real life and change people’s lives. If you’ve been lucky (or unlucky! haha) enough to have a gorgeous idea choose you, then you better pay attention to it.
You might be Netflix and chilling right now. You might be bored and uninspired.
This is not about productivity. This is about creation.
This is about leaning into the structures, systems, collaborations, and support you need to be able to embody your higher self. Your goddess leader-self.
It’s about calling in the proper convening of hearts and tangible skills needed for you to become the leader or entrepreneur you always wanted to become.
Unless you take action on creating the structure needed to embody your leader-self, it’s going to take a very, very long time.
Here are some ways to introduce support and structure into your life to help you up-level yourself:
Join a mastermind group of amazing, awesome and cool entrepreneurs or healers or those whom you would love to share with every week or every other week
Join an online course or webinar taught by someone you think is super energizing, inspiring, fun, and creative (and don’t force it. Just mentally “invite” that person to show up on your radar.)
Meditate and journal to allow energy to flow to you - for you to embody your truth and purpose
Set a fun goal - you’re going to post on Instagram every day to become comfortable sharing your brilliance, or you’re going to do a formal “share” with your friends over Zoom
Create something colorful. Smell something fragrant. Take a bath.
Let yourself day-dream.
Put aside 10 minutes every morning to write - whatever flows out of you.
Decide to become the person you’re already becoming. Write in a big black Sharpie and put it on your wall - “I commit to ____ _______.”
Any one of these tips can enliven your day to day life and bring more purpose and structure into your trajectory as a founder, entrepreneur, or creator. The main trick is commitment. Once you decide you’re going to up-level yourself into a more purposeful existence, the “how” makes itself known. It’s easy.
