The world needs your creativity, innovation, ideas, intuition. She needs your listening and love. She needs YOU But somewhere along the way most of us have been taught to fit in, rather than shine out. To dim our light - perhaps to avoid hurting others or because we are worried they will feel jealous. Perhaps because we judge ourselves as not special or unique enough. The real work is realising that fear is not real That we are already free. That we chose to come here at this time now with our own unique gifts - that the world needs those talents. It needs you to be and share who you are.
We have also, through our schooling, been taught to ingest information rather than listen deeply to our own inner knowing. Learning to discern the voice of your intuition, among all the other voices that reside in us, is life-changing. The voice of your intuition does not shout; in fact it rarely uses what we would describe as words. It is often just a feeling. Especially at the beginning of starting a new venture or business it IS just you and your innerknowing. You have no proof you can do it. You are doing something new - you don t know exactly how or even why but you are hearing the calling, seeing visions, having moments of inspiration. What is important is to trust those moments - because each time you do, your intuition will strengthen. And you will come to know yourself as someone you can trust. Someone whose nudgings you can dare to follow. This Survival Kit is for those moments when the fear and the doubt rear their heads The fear and the doubt are gifts, for they show you where you are still out of alignment with what you desire and who you came here to be. When you notice yourself having an emotional reaction that is more strong than the event warrants, that s a sign that a deep wound in you has been triggered. That s the time to get out your Survival Kit so you can get back to your deeper, bigger Truth and back in aligned action (without weeks hiding under the duvet thinking you re a failure and you never should have started this whole thing!) Below are your guidelines for creating your own Survival Kit. Don t wait til you re in the fear to prepare it - do it now! Then it will be here waiting for you for when you most need it. With love for you and your dreams, Kate Wolf
1 Who you gunna call? However tough or sorted we think we are, we ALL need a support team - a team of people who believe in us no matter what. The litmus test for this is that they STILL believe in us and our dreams EVEN WHEN WE DON T. They don t go into our anxiety with us when we doubt ourselves, they listen to our anxiety and know that it s just a wobble, and that all we need is a foot-hold back up to where we can see the bigger picture. Create your list of 5 supporters no matter what Create your list of people to phone when something has shattered your confidence. Think now about how you want to be supported - who will give you the kind of advice that is truly supportive? Or listen to you in a way where you feel heard again? (and who is to be avoided at this time?!) An optional step is to call these people now and ask them if they're OK with being there for you in this way, when you need them. Your parents are probably not on this list. They will most likely want to protect you - this is their instinct as parents. But this instinct right now is not what you need. Choose people who GET IT - who have gone through the fire of daring to live their dreams and have come out the other side stronger. You may not know these people yet. Open to being surprised by where this support will come from. One of them, for me, is someone who reached out to me after I posted my message in a Facebook group. Sacred support is the difference between the unknown being a place of growth rather than something to avoid. If you look around and realise you don t have many people around you putting their dreams out for tender, kudos to you - you must have a truly brave pioneer spirit.
2 Release what is not yours Some of what has happened may be to do with you and may be vital feedback, and some of it may just be about the other person and their fears. Let s get rid of their stuff shall we? If you can, get outside, ideally into nature. Find somewhere you feel safe and comfortable Stand with your feet hip-width apart and place your hand on your lowerbelly. Breathe into your belly- feel your belly expand as you inhale, and soften back towards your spine as you exhale Feel the Earth beneath your feet Spiral your hips gently a few times, in both directions, connecting with your body Start to scan down through your body, feeling for any tension, tightness, holding and imagine and feel it all releasing out of you, down your legs, through your feet and into our Earth Continue to breath, soft and full Then see your crown chakra on the very top of your head opening imagine and see white or gold light coming from our infinite Universe and pouring into the vessel of your body - feel yourself filling up with light, especially the areas which were previously holding stuck energy. Do this for as long as it feels good and needed! Coming back, slowly open your eyes and take a few deep, grounding breaths. Go consciously on with the rest of your day (I love to stand in a small stream to do this and watch it all flow away!)
3 What are you going to do to re-fill your confidence bucket? So something has happened and your confidence and self-belief has been knocked. But you re an entrepreneur and your livelihood depends on you putting yourself out there. So let s fill that bucket and get you ready to shine again. Jot down 20 ideas that YOU feel will fuel your confidence Here are some ideas for you: Read your testimonials/contact past clients and ask for a testimonial Write down a list of all the things you have achieved that day/week/month/year Write down things you are proud of about yourself Look in the mirror and tell yourself how beautiful you are Write down a list of things you love about yourself Remember - these ideas only work if you actually do them!
4 Is it true? Now that you re feeling a bit more confident, back in your body with fresh energy, and with a few positive voices to replace the negative, it s time to do some enquiry. Why did this trigger you? Get out your journal and write down what triggered you and the truth of how it made you feel really. Even if you re embarrassed that it made you feel that way. The Truth is always healing. You may have already discovered and shared some of this in your phone calls earlier, but writing it down activates a different part of our brains and often stuff comes up and out that we didn t consciously know before. Here are some prompts for your journalling: Why did it hurt? What did you make it mean about yourself? Where did this belief come from? Where did you feel it in your body? When have you felt like this before? How old were you when you first felt like this? (Get really honest - pretending it hasn t effected you is no use at all - the same message will come in a bigger form until you listen) Look at all the things you have made this one event mean- is there an underlying belief? Then ask: Is this True? Is there a bigger Truth? If you chose to put aside this belief, what would be possible? Beliefs are just beliefs and they can be changed. Guide yourself into the realm of possibility and hang out there for a while. Journal about who you would get to be and what you could do if you did not have this belief. Then turn this into an I AM statement eg. I am a wise, powerful, playful leader or I am capable or I am unlimited Write this statement down and put it somewhere where you will see it daily, or, record yourself saying it and listen to it every evening and every morning.
