In what ways are you holding yourself back from stepping in fully?
This is a juicy question to look at this week.
Have you ever watched one of those tightrope people?
Wow, it feels so hard and it takes hours of training to learn how to balance, stay centered, and then, while doing these impossible looking feats, they smile and are engaging.
Can you imagine being able to do that if you haven’t stepped in fully?
What if you thought, “I don’t want to be here or be doing this,” how likely would you be to fall off the wire and crash?
Your business is similar, and you have to step in fully in order to do all the antics you have to perform daily. If you haven’t stepped in fully you could be thinking you will have the good parts of money coming in, without having to do the work.
I think this is a dream most of us have and yet, it doesn’t seem to work this way.
If you know in your heart that you want to make your business happen, you need to search deep inside and find out how you hold yourself back from stepping in fully.
It could be that you have stepped in fully up until now, and yet to grow your business to the next level you feel that tightrope wobbling again and you just aren’t sure.
I’ve watched those people on the rope when they stand on one foot. They move all their energy to the other foot and it’s as though they have a beam of white light still strongly grounded through all their chakras, keeping them fully present and balanced.
If your own energy is wobbly and that light beam is feeling weak or broken, it will make you confused, overwhelmed, and grumpy.
It can be caused from a combination of state of mind and habits.
State of mind is about your Being-ness; your energy and how you stand on your own two feet.
Do you usually have one foot in and one foot out? In your case, that one foot out takes half the energy with it.
Can you see how living in this way, will make it hard for you to function and be productive?
It might also be that you have a Habit of wanting to run away when something is challenging.
I wake up some mornings and wish I could just go live in the woods or on the beach. My Wild Woman calls and I want to run off.
At least once every few weeks I have to check in with myself and renew my own vows, so to speak. I realize there are other ways to be with her and I have to incorporate her into my business rather than seeing it as two different worlds.
This is how I want to BE. In my Being-ness I am with that Wildsish part of myself all the time. She keeps me sane and on track and aligned.
I received an email from a client this morning and she was beating herself up for not doing the work she had committed to and she said she wasn’t even sure she wanted to be a business owner. It all felt too hard.
I could empathize. It is hard and yet it will be less hard if you step in fully and become more conscious and awake.
It can mean:
Being authentically you and staying on track on the tightrope of your business.
Doing the small but powerful things that keep you centered and balanced.
Keeping your focus on the people you are helping rather than on yourself.
Running a business is a spiritual practice for me. Everyday and every minute it’s about staying on track, listening to my invisible guides, and focusing on moving forward, rather than on fears.
It involves making decisions from that place. Every decision will look and be different if you are in fully or not.
Make a list of decisions that need to be made this week and notice the difference in your response from those two places. Being on a fence means you are not fully in and it will keep you being shakey and in that out of balance place where fears will seep in and self-doubts will take over.

What perfect timing, Kaya! Beautifully written and so authentic. Yes, I feel wobbly and on the fence. I woke up just this very morning with those thoughts you described, “Do I want to keep doing this? Ugh. I want to go live at the beach with my dogs and walk in the sand all day….”
When you ask about where the energy is, my heart immediately replied that it was not totally in because of the fear of failure, being unseen and not Enough. I keep a part time job to make sure I have money coming in and I know that energy escapes me to go to that, more in the energy of resentment that I do that.
Funny thing, as I read your article, it’s about being in sync which is the name of my business. I find humor in that and a message from your words today, “Don’t Give Up.”
So, thank you for being you and for Being and for allowing the Wild Woman to be Part of your business rather than taking her somewhere else ;-).
Today I choose to Be In-Sync fully with my business. In alignment with why I have this dream and this passion in the first place. It’s to help, to be of service, to be a role model for how we can be in sync when we consciously work at keeping our energy alive and aligned.
Thank you!
so I have known my bf for 11 years. I was obsessed with him when I met him. He was eviyhtreng I ever wanted for six years. Then I got tired and bored of being in a relationship because I wanted to party and meet friends and meet other guys to see what is out there to prove to myself I found a gem since I was soo young. Then I dated an asshole and ran back to my long time gem so I brought him back into my life. then I ended up meeting a Persian guy that I started dating out of the blue, ofcourse he turned out to be a douchbag, I started dating Persian guys because I wanted to marry a Persian guy since I am Persian ( my long time bf is not Persian). one Persian after another, they all suckkkedddd. My original first love is the best guy after 11 years and he did date other woman as well while I was single, but chooses me to spend the rest of his life with and has done things for me that no guy will ever do.my bf qualtities-still attractive-super smart and ambitious-faithful and loyal, never lies-treats me like a goddess-always consistent-never fights with me and always agrees with me %100My problem: His career goals. Medical school did not work out ( partially my fault for distracting him). He does not have a set career goal yet and is still trying to find out what he wants to do. He started his own business that is doing ok like 50k as he is working 70 hours a week. This has affected him spending time with me since we don’t live together, we see each other once a week for a few hours. He doesn’t really have hobbies or cares to go out with friends etc and it creates an impact for our sex life.But . He is ambitious and book smart (not so street smart/ super go getter). I told him to start looking for a good job that pays higher than entry level (since he has three year owning a small business exp). He is listening to me and trying to do his business and apply at the same time. But I don’t know how long it will take for him to get a break. I am afraid of not knowing if I can ever rely on him financially. He Makes about an average of 50k for 70 hours of work a week. Him finding a secure job with opportunities will make him my ideal man. I am 29, super hot and working around the same level as him but less hours. please help because I want to be with him but I am not sure if this is a deal breaker. I am also afraid of dating losers and never finding a guy nearly as good as him which will leave me with regrets since I might end up alone etc. I have a privileged life ( not too ritzy or anything) but I want to maintain a consistent lifestyle which will require a man making close to 100k down the road. He does want to provide this for me more than anything but he may not have had the guidance to get there. please share with me words of wisdom because I am willing to accept the fact that it could be me having too high expectations. I could wait for someone with more a career goal or successful but I may end up being alone, please help!! thank you
