Would you love to manifest a business that feels authentically aligned with your soul purpose and one that you absolutely LOVE?

Of course - we all want that!

So over the next few Blog posts - I'll be covering the KEY STEPS you need to have in place to achieve just that.

There are fundamnetal building blocks required when you want to develop and grow a soul-aligned business.

DEFINITION: Soul-Aligned Business [SOOWL-A-LINED-BIZ-NESS}

1. A business that feels authentically aligned with your purpose and you are passionate about bringing your purpose to the marketplace to bring incredible value and/or transformation to your ideal clients.

2. A business that feels good and meaningful on the inside as well as on the outside and your results are transformational!

When we are coaching any of our clients ONE of the FIRST steps we put in place is....THE NON-NEGOTIABLES.

What are the NON-NEGOTIABLES? It's this....

NON-NEGOTIABLE SELF-CARE - you may find this surprising as the first thing we look at as a building block - but it really shouldn't be.

WE ARE OUR BUSINESS'S GREATEST ASSET - so therefore our self-care (emotional, physical and spiritual) should come first!

What does that look like?

It looks like time blocked in the diary when you'll be...

- Taking a walk in nature
- Reading
- Meditating
- Meeting a friend for coffee
- Attending a Yoga Class
- Trying out a new experience
- Creating / Crafting
- Pampering
- Eating nutritious food mindfully
- Drinking plenty of water / herbal teas

Then watch out for these thoughts >>>

I FEEL SO GUILTY TAKING TIME OFF MY BUSINESS WHEN I'M NOT MAKING THE MONEY I WANT/NEED!!

OR I CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE TIME OFF!

I'VE NOT WORKED HARD ENOUGH YET - I DON'T DESERVE TIME OFF

Now during these times you schedule off you may find you feel agitated / anxious or guilty that you're not working on your business - this is a stress response from feeling like you should be working in order to 'deserve to receive' an income.

However, we're looking at SOUL-ALIGNMENT here - society has programmed us into believing in order to justify making money, we have to slog our guts out. In deed working hard is often glorified within our culture and you may well have been influenced by your parents or guardians because they worked incredibly hard and maybe couldn't make ends meet or struggled in some way, so you feel it must be the same for you too.

However, true money manifestation comes from BEING IN ALIGNMENT which means if we want a life of freedom and joy that our business is part of, then we have to start practicing those vibrations NOW. We need to work in alignment with the prosperity and freedom we want to feel in our future and that means designing a LIFE AND BUSINESS YOU LOVE NOW!

And that means doing the things you LOVE to do and bring you JOY now! Not putting it off for someday when. Because THAT day may never come.

Taking time out is important for you to remain inspired, creative and enthusiatic about your work. It is hard to bring a freshness to your work if you are working yourself into the ground day in and day out around a business personal life.

Besides when you're out and about it's usually a great time to do some informal networking, which can also be great for your business (and your soul!)

-----------------

Part of this SOUL-ALIGNED practice is releasing the negative emotions around the agitation/anxiety or guilt.

So you could start asking ourselves questions like the ones below. These are all good questions to journal on too.

1. What am I telling myself about taking time off?
2. Why does this feel true for me?
3. Is there any evidence that it's not true?
4. What do I really want?
5. How do I really want to feel in my business?
6. Where in my life do I already have that feeling?
7. How can I start practicing this and still feel like I'm building my business?
8. What things can I start doing that will make the MOST impact on my business?
9. Who can I ask for help with this?
10. Is there anyone I know already practicing this that I can model?

This is a NERVOUS SYSTEM response and therefore it is automatic (meaning you can't out-work it, out think it, or say so many positive affirmations it will dissappear, you have to work at a nervous system level). So when you feel anxious or guilty about taking time off - it should be approached mindfully and with compassion. This is where practices like meditation, breathwork, tapping (EFT), Reiki and somatic body work can be powerful to help you release these feelings and regulate your nervous system.

THEN the positive affirmations - such as....

- I deserve a life and business that I love
- I am in the process of creating a prosperous and soul-aligned business
- I love the feeling of building a business that gives me so much freedom
- Why is it so easy for me to build a prosperous and heart-centred business
- I am easily attracting my ideal clients, even when I'm playing

Will be so much more powerful, because they'll FEEL TRUE!
