3 questions to ask yourself to move from overwhelmed to unstuck.

Hello You,

On Monday I found myself stressed out, grumpy and panicking?about everything that was going on in my business and personal life.

“Why was that, Laura?”

I'm so glad you asked.

I grabbed a pen and paper and captured everything that I had going on over the next few weeks:

• My November retreat costs were starting to add up: venue?+ food/drink + photographer + support on the day + travel + in-laws travelling down to babysit etc.
• The said retreat tickets needed selling this week and next.
• Half term holidays are here, and I want to be present with the kids.
• I’m tired after Brussels last week and a sickness bug that wiped us out at the end of the week.
• My darling nan is becoming increasingly unwell as she lives with terminal cancer.
• We needed to pack for a few days up north with our families.?A 5-hour car journey with 3 kids?- gulp.
• I’d promised my girls we’d travel to see a great friend of ours that night which was a 2.5 hour round trip = very late night and my darling Jeff getting 3 kids to bed solo.
• I’m delivering leadership training to a corporate client on Thursday.
• I need to decide if I was staying in my mastermind at a significant personal investment.

Jeez - even by writing out, I realised that it’s no bl00dy wonder I had a mini breakdown!

And this is where asking 3 powerful questions moved me from overwhelmed to unstuck in less than 30 minutes.

If you’re feeling stuck right now, I’d invite you to do the same:

Questions

1. What do I need right now?

2. What will allow me to positively impact as many women as I can at a minimal cost and investment to me (time, energy and money)?

3. What are my options & instinctive response for each decision?

Answers??

1.?I need peace, ease, fun, support, love, connection with friends and family.?

2. Pivot to online teachings and support for my global community so all can be included, not just those who could get to London in person.

3.?I can postpone my Ignited Female Founder in-person retreat to the new year. I will continue to invest in my mastermind, so I’m held and supported by a world class coach and success sisters. I will see friends & have fun, go home and see friends and family.

Phew!?

Decisions made, action taken, and I feel soooo much better.

Now reaching out to those who had bought tickets was uncomfortable for me as I am a woman of my word and ALWAYS deliver. My inner critic was taunting me saying I’d failed. Would people think I was weak for changing my mind? That I couldn't sell out the event?

But do you know what actually happened? My women were incredible, highly supportive and are still excited about meeting up in 2023. It felt right, and I instantly felt like a weight had been lifted.

So, my friend, please take it from me.

“This is YOUR life, no-one else’s. If it doesn’t feel aligned for you - you GET TO change it.”

When you act with integrity and authenticity, you’ll always be ok. Trust me.?

If you’ve read this far, thank you.

I’m now heading back to playing with the kids?(send help ??).

If I can help you become unstuck on any area of your life or business, just message me.

Life gets to be so fun, on our terms. Even when we are doing all of the things.

Yours,

Laura
