Turning inwards, to find your Self.
If you are playing for a dream and trying to make a change happen in the outer world, and it isn’t working (yet), maybe you have to temporarily go in another direction.
In life and business, a lot is happening.
Many of us are currently making turns, shifts, pivots.
Either invited, like a call to adventure, or pressured.
Including myself.
I enjoy being the teacher, the speaker on the stage, sharing my insights and talking about concepts like The Human Journey.
More and more I appreciate being silent, listening, offering the space for people to be seen and heard, witnessed on their human journey.
I have noticed how effective the deep 1:1 work is that I do in “The Room”.
How real change becomes possible in the outer world when we apply the Power of the Pause and regularly turn inwards. Asking the right questions, listening with genuine interest and freely sharing ideas and observations.
On the attached visual I was penning, drafting, crafting what that looks like.
It shows some of the maps and methods I prefer to use, like Human Design, Gene Keys, the Human Journey, Inner Freedom technique and “the Protocol”.
This morning, I was reminded of a scene in the movie Cars, from 2006.
Lightning McQueen is pushing really hard, in the desert, trying to make a turn.
He is practicing what he wants or needs to perform on the racing track.
Doc Hudson shows up in the scene.
“This ain’t asphalt son, this is dirt”.
We are living in a world where many are treading an untrodden path.
We have left the asphalt behind us and are temporarily on dirt roads, gravel.
The circumstances and conditions have changed, yet we may be trying to play by the same rules. As we were taught.
Keep pushing,

Power through.
Try harder.
Maybe there is another approach.
As Doc Hudson said, “If you go hard enough left, you’ll find yourself turning right”.
What if, for you to make the change happen, turning left to find yourself turning right, could be an interesting experiment? An alternative approach?
Turning inwards, to find your Self.
What if you would use the Power of the Pause?
Turning inwards, upstream for a moment, to see what is in there that may be blocking you from making the shift, the pivot.
Bring it to the surface and release it, so you can play (more) full out, freely, in the outer world, downstream.
Find your talents and gifts, your genius, that may have been hiding inside.
Rediscover the parts of you that you need right now, to make the shift, the pivot.
Reconnect with your innate humanity, your compassion, creativity, curiosity and courage.
That is what I have witnessed happening inside “The Room”.
1:1 Conversations, about life and business, so you can liberate your potential and humanity, un(b)lock your life force energy, serve the whole in your best possible way and experience more prosperity, whatever that looks like for you.
