You are brilliant, accomplished, able, and driven with a caring heart.  And sometimes your brain runs faster than your body. (Mine is doing that this morning).   Overthinking and anxiety happen when we are going so fast that the body gets left behind. I know you have tons on your plate, families to take care of, work to get done, clients to create, a dog to walk, and so much more. Slowing down doesn’t logically make sense to your thinking parts. AND IT IS WHAT WORKS. Give yourself the SELF Connection that opens the channel of flow – you know that flow; I’ve seen you in it. That space where you remember who you BE, and everything works from there. It’s as if magic starts to happen. Your thinking parts forget this. So we have to choose to create connection and attunement to our own core SELF. Do this first.

The post Flow Missing Do this First – It Works Every Time appeared first on Allison Crow.

Here’s a distinction I’d like to present for your Soulfull consideration:

Is your desire from discomfort or innate drive?

The itch is dehydrated, thirsty, and scratchy.

Flow is supple, emergent on its own, and overflowing.

Is your expression from performance and thirst or is it pure creativity unleashed in divine timing?

I see lots of itching people lately. It’s that time of year. The coziness of winter has worn off and spring is not here year- what’s in you May not be ready to bloom. Let it rest.

Settle into the waiting with your presence. The flow always comes back.

Oh, how the world wants to press us into the idea that we can behave and perform like a machine in life and business. You, my DEAR… and you are a dear one. You are a gardener, not a machine.

This is your reminder to cultivate, to piddle, to work with the seasons and weather you encounter. This is your reminder that sometimes the beauty is slow, and other times it is fast.

If I could encourage you to plant the seeds if anything in your garden – it would be #selftrust. It would be #personalpower from within.

The IFS qualities of SELF are the best fertilizer:
Calmness
Curiosity
Compassion
Connectedness
Confidence
Creativity
Courage
Clarity

What are you cultivating???
??????????

You can’t remember the last time you painted, or went dancing, or threw some clay. Your crocheting yarns are in a basket in the back of the closet. Your oil paints are in storage…. (Most of these are stores my clients have told me….). Losing your hobbies is – the slow and subtle kind.

Welcome to episode 143:  Another in a series of live coaching sessions with my clients.  Brooke Genn is a long-time Soulie (Facebook website).  This episode is a perfect example of how often is what seen as a strategy session – is really a doorway to a deeper inner work session.  I love strategy and can often help my clients see strategic paths to profit and pleasure, and even more important, really digging deep underneath a “limiting belief” to heal and unhook the resistance and fear.  Enjoy this session.  Listen in and look for insights that you can borrow from Brooke’s session.  

Brooke is showing up with some blocks and confusion about creating a strategy for her Selfie Masterclass that would support her energy, finances, and busy retreat photography schedule. 
She wants to create a system or structure to make more from her offer that would allow her to scale it and be at home.

Notes from the session: 

What do you mean by structure?
Why not just when you feel like doing it?
What about energy?

A lot of creatives need permission to always go with your flow.
Take a year or season and look.

What about a simple, visual calendar like this one I use that spaces your offerings out in seasons. 

Energetic Offering Calendar

Start to visually and energetically chunk out working with your energy and the seasons.
Get that down and then see what’s available.

Create an energetic calendar — it can help you with your marketing.
You don’t have to start marketing until you’re heading into that season.
When your energy doesn’t fit in the system that’s another resentment and that causes us not to full-on attract the clients.

Looking at recording it vs the value of being there to teach it live.
Record one and put it in your pocket
You can use it and then have a live session after they have taken it and you can do a condensed Q & A

Check-in with the wisdom of your body for pricing.

Limiting belief: People are only going to take this class if they have worked with me before, not strangers on the internet.

I feel tense in my lower neck.
Bring your attention into the lower neck into that brainy voice and take a breath… let it be separate from you.
Feel compassion towards it – this part of the brain that tightens your neck is scared.

What does it want you to know?

There is less risk and it’s safer to talk to clients that already know me.

What are you afraid would happen if you took the risk?

I have a fear that when you scale things it comes with headaches.
Scaling things comes with a lot more opinions.

This part of me is a little overwhelmed by the bigness and the people that don’t know me.
That part of you wants to feel heard and understood.

Check-in with the parts that are nervous about the risk.

Create a system that supports them.
A compassionate space for all these parts of yourself.

If you reverse engineer those limiting beliefs they are coming from parts of yourself.
Let those parts know that you will manage disappointment and conflict.
Their job is to be creative and playful.

Find the youngest love of your life and think, how would I love them and give that to yourself.

One lesson I’ve learned and re-learned over the years is the importance of values. 

Especially in business, our values are what can ground us when wobbly, give us clarity for the future, and what we can always reconfigure to fit our ever-changing BEING. 

Our brand values – not to be confused with core values – are so important in fact, that I’ve dedicated this entire show to them. 

I’m offering you a quick look into what they can do for your business, what my 5 brand values are, and a free guide to your own values that’s usually only available to my clients.

Looking to jump to a particular section Here is what happens in this episode: 

2:29 – An intro into what this business values thing is all about

3:12 – The gift I’ve made you around values exercises

12:46 – The difference between having a business that makes you money and one that your soul calls for 

14:03 – My 5 values 

32:00 – What do you value?nbsp;

I’ve been in business for 17 years. 

17 years I’ve learned and unlearned and found a framework that’s worked for me. 

It’s one that allows me to keep myself balanced and sane and focused in my business. 

It’s one you can use too. 

It simply cultivates both the BEING and the DOING in our lives so we can really get to the secret sauce of what we have to offer this world. 

I’m giving you a quick rundown of this framework in this show, specifically I’ll share with you: 

1:01 – An announcement of my NEW masterclass (March 13,2021 – contact me if you want in)

2:03 – A deep dive into this business model that I use, starting with the “BEING” side

8:02 –  A look at the 4 pieces of the “DOING” side that creates a successful business

10:54 – How I want us to reclaim sales 

16:17 – How you can go deeper into all of these ideas 

This is just the tip of the iceberg, but it’s been the greatest framework for myself and my clients – would love to know what insights it brought forth for you.

1. We’re at episode 99! (Stay tuned for the celebration episode 100 next week!)
2. We have the amazing Super Soulie Heather Esposito on the podcast today

Heather is a member of Soul-Full Success (for over a year, that’s what makes her a Super Soulie!) and is a huge contributor to our group, and to my life honestly. 

And today she’s sharing with you the power of releasing our trapped emotions through energy healing. 

She’s helped me with my heartburn, with my dogs, with some clients who wanted abundance help – and that’s not even the half of it! 

As a therapist and self-proclaimed skeptic turned bakery owner, author, Tony Robbins coach and then health coach and energy healer, she is a wealth of knowledge and is generously sharing her insights with us today. 

It can be hard to describe energy healing, but you’ll love her examples, stories, and tips for feeling better (hello all about the #BetterLifeBetterWork). 

You’re going to love Heather’s energy (ha!) and knowledge she brings to you, check out her show and then I’d love to know your experience with energy healing, head over to Instagram or Facebook to let us know if you are still a skeptic, have experience with it, or are interested in more!

Love, 

Your Favorite Life Coach, 

Allison Crow
