THE SHOW MUST GO ON
The first awareness shift I had while meditating, cat on my lap, on my couch this week was that whether or not I’m feeling fabulous, or can barely read the words on my monitor because I’m in so much pain, the work still needed to get done.
Messages needed to be sent,
Clients needed to be checked in with.
And life needed to go on.
If I wanted to keep my business running that is.
And in this moment I realized that I was still the biggest bottleneck in my own business.
While I’ve got fabulous systems to support me in my business I realized that there were still loads of activities that relied on me to execute them to keep my business running smoothly.
I found myself sitting on the couch trying to will myself to get up and do the work.
And after a multitude of unsuccessful attempts (and seeing stars every time I looked at the computer monitor) I started to ask the question:
What’s essential? What must get done today?
And then it dawned on me to ask:
Does this really have to be done by me?
At that moment, I realized that despite outsourcing to a wonderful team, I was still holding on to a stack of tasks that really did not need to be done by me.
It, unfortunately, took an injury and inability to get it done to finally let go of these tasks.
