The Trauma of Business – It’s time to get unstuck.One of the biggest challenges I see in my work in supporting clients in HD’ing their Biz is that they get caught in a cycle of stuck – perfectionisms, shoulds, past lived experiences, thinking their way through, or trying to do their design. Saying yes from a place of logic vs. the felt sense of a design in their body. Doing what they think they should because the industry says so vs giving themselves a permission slip to pursue that inner nudge. These hurdles embedded in their business stop them in their tracks from building a business around their design. The not-self, or low expression, stemming from our past business experiences, creates doubts, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and trend-hopping. Fear gets in the way of progress, and they settle.
The Head Center I overtly try to control the outcome and therefor am uncoachable and unavailable for feedback. This keeps me in a cycle of stuck from which I never move forward. I tend to give up when there is lots of pressure. My way is the correct way and I get frustrated when clients don’t do it like I tell them to do. The root is that I have a perennially need for information that has severed my connection with my inner knowing. I run my business from my mind. The Ajna Center I use my mind to drive my decision making. I logic my way through my business and only do it if it makes sense. I fail to move forward in business because I am not truly committed. I waffle and flip flop and often feel like an imposter. The Root is I was taught not to trust my instinct or intuition and I am cut off from my body’s knowing. The Throat Center I struggle to show up online because I never know what someone might think or say. I often obsess over posting and marketing out of fear and fail to get into action. I overly express my opinion and am unwilling to take feedback from others. The root is that I fear being rejected for my voice and action. If I make my internal world external I will not be accepted for who I am in business. The Identity Center I often feel lost in the world and seek out others to provide a direction for me OR I prefer to dole out direction to others instead of focusing on my own direction. I criticize others because it is safer to be on the sidelines then to be on the playing field owning my direction . The Root I am afraid to take responsibility for my direction in life and own the whole of who I am. The Heart Center Lacking self-worth & confidence, turbulent relationship with money & success, lack mindset with the material world I feel the need to prove to my coach that I am the best student and make decision from there showing them how worthy I am. I exert my ego onto others in order to become successful. The Root is that I move through life feeling less than and struggle with self worth and confidence. The Spleen Center I have let fear overcome me and am often afraid to move forward, take action or be successful. I am holding on to my current business and clients out of fear and what ifs even though I know it is incorrect for me. I take on responsibility for others that is not mine to take on and therefor I am distracted by what is truly important to me in my business. The Root is that I was often pushed by people to take action that wasn’t aligned, I took on more responsibility than I should or I held on to things too long. The Sacral Center I am in a constant cycle of doing for others even though I am not here to do. I am on the brink of burnout and just keep pushing forward. I am completely overwhelmed by all the choices available to me and do not feel excited about any of them. I may have a tendency to abandon ship mid way because I have doubts it will work. The Root is that I have outsourced my decision making and settled for a business that has forced me to be something that I am not. I have been burn by clients in the process and am in general exhausted by running my business. The Solar Plexus Center I often feel the biggest feelings and it is hard for me to take feedback from clients. I often take things personal and it can wipe me out for days. I struggle with knowing what is the right thing to do and often waffle in my decisions because I am not overly certain. I often let my emotions get the best of me in business then later make decision I come to regret. The Root is I am emotionally sloppy and was not taught how to regulate my emotions. The Root Center I struggle to get started and/or gain momentum. I feel under constant pressure to keep up in my business and ofter experience FOMO. I tend to throw half-baked offers at the wall. I wear my stress with pride and feel the need to be on the cutting edge always. I trend hop and struggle to stick to things. I find myself constantly chasing success and being stressed. I struggle to manage my stress and tend to say yes more than I should. The Root is I say yes in my business for the wrong reasons and I end up committed to unaligned things. I prioritize the short term vs the long term in my business. |
