What do you do if your motivation and focus waver as a self-employed mindfulness consultant?

During our lifetime WE will find ourselves in brief periods of "wavering motivation and focus". WE turn inward, gain perspective, adapt, and positively move forward. Be flexible, gentle with yourself, and keep focusing on helping people to reach their goals.

Take time to define specific, achievable goals for your consultancy business, both short-term and long-term. Break down larger goals into smaller, actionable steps to maintain focus and momentum. Remember to hold yourself accountable in some way, perhaps by choosing an accountability partner. And make time to celebrate achieving those goals; you deserve it!

I have never leaned on motivation. I lean on discipline. That up at dawn, going to make something happen belief system. Motivation gets you started. Discipline keeps you going. Find a system that works for you. Then embrace that system. Make sure accountability is built into to your daily schedule. We all get off track. Accountability keeps us from wandering too far.

Create a consistent daily routine that incorporates dedicated time for client work, business development, self-care, and personal interests. Having a structured routine can help maintain discipline and productivity. I also agree with the article; you should practice what you preach. Prioritize your own mindfulness practice to cultivate mental clarity, resilience, and focus. Set aside time each day for meditation, mindfulness exercises, or mindful movement to recharge and center yourself.

"Is your cup half empty or half full?" Being healthy and optimistic requires maintaining balance in your work and personal life. You are your first priority when it comes to Living in Balance. "Heal yourself. Heal the world".

As mindfulness consultant, you're at the heart of it all. It isn't about having it all figured out! It's about the capacity to demonstrate resilience yourself, by learning and adapting and growing as you go and sharing these learnings with your audience to spread the knowledge gained by experience.

Stay updated on the latest research, trends, and practices in the field of mindfulness. Attend workshops, conferences, or online courses to expand your knowledge and skills, keeping your work fresh and engaging. As you learn, stay flexible and open to change in response to evolving market demands and client needs. Experiment with new services, marketing strategies, or business models to stay relevant and competitive.

Ask for help if you need it! Reach out to fellow mindfulness practitioners, mentors, or business coaches for support and guidance. Surround yourself with a supportive community that understands the unique challenges of being a self-employed consultant.

Reflect on the reasons why you chose to become a mindfulness consultant. Reconnecting with your core values and purpose can reignite your motivation and remind you of the meaningful impact you strive to make. Additionally, reconnect with your clients and remind yourself of the positive impact your work has on their lives. Hearing about their progress and successes can reignite your passion for your business.

Dark periods in a person's life do present great lessons and potentially amazing gifts of insight. Like all growth spurts, they are not comfortable, but you will gain tremendous Resilience and Fortitude.
