“There is no need to learn through pain” ~~A Course in Miracles
I wonder how many of you are craving some down time, a chance to step off the treadmill, but just can’t seem to swing it?
That’s where I was 2 years ago.
I remember saying to my guy, with a heavy sigh: “I wish I could take the next month off.”
“Why don’t you?” he responded.
I gasped! How could I possibly do that? I had all these “important” things to do!! Taking time off was unthinkable.
Then it hit me. I’d been interviewing women who made millions (my next goal) and saw something I never expected.
Right before these women soared, each one sank into a period of nothing happening, a time between, a void, often as a result of a crisis, like a devastating illness or painful loss.
These time-outs served an essential role in their eventual triumphs because they used them, as one woman put it, ‘to regroup and come back stronger.”
At that moment, I decided I wasn’t going to wait for a crisis. I could choose to step off the grid…by design, not default.
I invite you to do the same. Especially if you’ve had this nagging sense you need some down time.
I took 4 days off, going to a nearby hotel where I spent the entire time in self reflection. It was during this time I discovered Sacred Success®.
Believe me, I had no idea a whole new body of work was living inside me, waiting for me to slow down and tune in.
Maybe it’s time for you to slow down and tune in too. That’s why I created a Sacred Success® Retreat, as a way to give women a structured time out to go within.
If you can only take a day off, or even a few hours, that will work too. And you don’t need to go anywhere.
The whole idea is to eliminate distractions, do only what’s essential, connect with your inner wisdom and listen to what it has to say. (For more info, read my blog: The Beginner’s Guide to Surrender.)
You might be surprised with what you discover. If you’d like to share, I’m all ears!
