Have You Ever Felt Like Throwing Your Hands In the Air and Walk Away?

Have you ever felt like you want to throw your hands up in the air and walk away?

… or, stared at a long-ass to-do list but have NO idea what to DO?

… or, just wanted to shut it all down and take a perma-vacation… from everything?

Last week, I froze. My worst business nightmare came true.

I created an offer, put the word out, but felt disconnected from it and couldn’t get myself to promote it anymore.

I cooked up a list-building project, got the word out to a few partners and then lost steam.

I tried to write a blog post, gibberish came out.
I looked at my “to-do” list and had no idea what to do. rnSomething deep inside of me whispered, “Let it all go, walk away, take a break. You are muscling through and it ain’t gonna work.”
My brain (logical/monkey/ego/type-A over-thinking mind) panicked. It couldn’t even process the idea. It defaults to busywork for “safety.”

Something big is brewing. Deep dow
I know I need to clear the deck and make space for it to emerge.

But my “brain” – whose job is to determine action based on past knowledge and experience – screamed, “does not compute!”

Struggle does not happen because of “what is” – it happens because of the intellect’s resistance to an aligned action guided by an inner knowing.

My coach challenged me to stop doing things that I *think* I *should* be doing because of what my monkey mind “knows.”

I was challenged to let it sit, and act only when thinking subsides and I can finally feel into it. (shit, Harvard didn’t teach me that!)

The hardest f—ing thing, ever.
