How you show up MATTERS…in a BIG WAY.

Everything is energy. How you show up energetically matters. It matters in your relationships, with your health and well-being, in your career and business and with regards to your personal growth and well-being.

It’s time assess how you are showing up and what needs to shift.

Are you showing up tired?
Are you showing up irritated with a lack of patience?
Are you showing up with more energy for strangers than for your own family?
Are you going ALL IN on your business or kind of doing it?
Are you showing up open to new ideas, concepts, strategies and things to try or are you skeptical?
Are you showing up in a way that those closest to you feel like they matter?
Are you showing up for YOU?

Your ENERGY MATTERS. It impacts your growth. It impacts your abundance. It impacts the level of your energy and it impacts what you attract into your life.

The universe conspires for you and matches your vibration.

If you aren’t exactly where you want to be in all areas of your life, you need to shift your energy.

Take a moment to assess this. And then do something about it. Sometimes just recognizing it is enough. And other times, you need to fuel your body differently, you need to sleep more, you need to stop doing some things and you need to give yourself a good old kick in the ass.

This past week, all of the podcast episodes of Ninja Jill KNOWS touch on your energetic impact and how you are showing up…I recommend that you listen in to create some momentum and learn some additional strategies to shift your energy.

Episode 61: When being too certain is a problem

Episode 62: Why it’s TIME

Episode 63: What energy are you showing up with?

Episode 64: What do you ACT on? Memories or inspiration?

Be AWARE of the ENERGY and the IMPACT you are making with how you are showing up.

Make sure you are creating the life that you desire and the impact that you want to make.

Live POWERfully, do YOU.

3 Plumbers later…why knowing and working in your wheelhouse matters.

So, our pipes in our master bathroom are freezing up at varying degrees of temperature. The trades are all blaming each other (it’s a new house). The plumbers think it’s the insulators fault, the insulation guys think it’s the framer’s fault and the framer’s blame the plumbers or something like that…you get the idea. A lot of finger pointing, a lot of consults and not a lot of fixing going on.

Me? I just want it fixed. ASAP.

And most of them think the garage needs to be heated (not the solution…just a bandaid so I said a big NO to that one as the first action we take).

Finally, plumber #3 shows up. He’s the solution guy. He’s the plumbing strategist…the ninja! He’s unassuming but on it. He knows what he’s talking about, he asks if everyone is blaming everyone else and he explains why there is a pocket of cold air that is making everything freeze. This guy WORKS in his WHEELHOUSE.

He’s smart enough to know that he can’t hold a candle to the rough-in guy (plumber #2) when it comes to doing rough-ins but he KNOWS that he is the solutions guy and that is why he just had a 70 hr work week. (Note: the 3rd plumber arrived at 10 am on a Sunday. Dedication to the work.).

Moral of the story: KNOW YOUR WHEELHOUSE. Work in your wheelhouse. (Listen in to Episode 42: Are you wasting your time and your talent to explore why this is so important.)

What’s your wheelhouse? What you are truly good at. Your skillset. Your unique talents and abilities. What people ask the most for.

Showcase them. Exploit them. Use them to your advantage and to make more money. Hire the rest of your tasks out or spend minimal time on them during your day. And, don’t waste too much time training on what you are only kind of good at. Focus on what you are GREAT at and get even better.

Be plumber #3. He SAVED the DAY, provided the most value (he knew what he was good at and he exploited his skillset) and I could tell he loved his job. (And, he made the most money.)

Shift the energy…change what’s happening in your life

What do you do when you are stuck or feel stuck in one of the areas of your life?

Maybe you are experiencing a tricky relationship where communication is off, your revenues numbers for the month seem to be slowing or the bills seem to piling up or that weight that you are wanting to lose is rising instead of falling.

When things like this are happening in my life, I always take a look at what is happening energetically.

The first energetic area is MINDSET.

How are my thoughts? I know that if I’m focused on the negative or the chaos that is what will continue so I will shift my mindset using very specific tools like:

1. Extra gratitude and appreciation at the end of the day or in the moment where my thoughts are negative.
2. The Work by Byron Katie that she describes in her book Loving What Is.
3. Adding in another meditation to the day or just taking a few extra moments to breath.

The second energetic area I focus on is what is happening in my physical space (because the state of your home reflects the state of your life). Here’s what I look at:

1. What area in the home or office is piling up with clutter (this can be seen and unseen clutter)?
2. Is the unfinished project list at the house or in my business growing? What do I need to address right now.
3. How does the space feel?

What do you do then? Declutter, finish the projects and light some candles, use essential oils in a diffuser or do a salt space clearing to clean up the energy in the space and promote a positive flow.

The third energetic area I look at is my Soulset© (my purpose and the action that I’m taking). I review what my days have been like to see how much time I have committed to living and acting based on my purpose and the call of my soul. I adjust accordingly if I have been too consumed by the busywork and the draining menial tasks.

So, if you find the energy stagnating in any area of your life, it’s time to review your mindset, free up the energy in your space and focus on spending more time living based on your purpose. This will increase your energy and improve the effort that you are taking on a daily basis to go after what you truly want.

You are in CHARGE of the ENERGY in your SPACE and LIFE. Reclaim it and use it to your advantage!

(If you need to reduce the clutter in your space so that you can free up the energy in your life, join me in a “5 bags in 5 days” decluttering challenge that begins next week. Click here to get in on the fun.)

All that MATTERS is what’s NEXT

You are likely experiencing one of three things right now:

  1. Your life is AMAZING and you have everything you want it but…. (you fill in the blank).
  2. Your life is really good in all areas but you want it to be really GREAT and you aren’t sure how to get from good to great (click here for help to bridge the gap).
  3. You are thriving in one or two parts of your life (like your business, your relationships, your health and well-being or your personal growth and self-discovery) and the others are failing miserably or not where you want them to be.

So, which is it? Are you 1, 2 or 3? or a bit of a combo?

Right here, right now, ALL that matters is “What’s NEXT?”.

What is the next step, the next action, the next thing you have to do change it, and to create a shift and to go after what it is you truly want in that particular area(s) of your life.

What you may be wanting to do right now is one of these things:

  • Blame someone else for where you are at.
  • Say you don’t have enough time to change or you’ve already tried.
  • Give up on the dream and the desire of how you want it to be and just resolve yourself to the fact that this is the life you were dealt or it’s good enough.

OR…

You could CHOOSE to drop all of the stories of blame and realize that you chose your way to this state and that’s okay.

You could admit that you didn’t really go ALL IN, you just tried a little harder than you had before and you could actually GO ALL in this time.

You could realize that this is your LIFE and you can create whatever you TRULY WANT.

So, what’s next for you?

Will you continue to blame, moan and complain or will you go ALL IN, take the next necessary required ACTION and realize that you are COMPLETELY CAPABLE of creating whatever it is you truly want and you ALWAYS have a CHOICE.

It doesn’t matter about your past successes or failures, your past choices, or where you are right now, all that matters is what you DECIDE TO DO NEXT.

Create and LIVE the LIFE you TRULY WANT.

Live Powerfully, Do YOU!

Fear and discomfort…they will STOP YOU every time if you let them.

Is there something in your life RIGHT NOW that you want but don’t have?

It could be in your relationship with your partner, your kids, your family or your friends.

It could be in your profession or your business.
It could be with your health and well-being.

Why don’t you have it? 

Usually it comes down to one of two things: fear and discomfort.

Fear that you can’t do it, it won’t work or you aren’t capable of accomplishing it.

Discomfort from being outside your zone of comfort or because you are in a situation that you don’t want in one of these areas.

What can you do about? 

Decide what you want.
Make a strategy.
Take action. 

The only way to shift your reality, is to do something different.

So, where in your life are you feeling fearful or experiencing discomfort. Write it down. Then, write down all of the possible solutions. Pick the one that feels the best. Take the first step.

When you DO THIS, your fear and discomfort will start to recede BECAUSE your personal power, energy and capacity will start to increase.

The two latest episodes of Ninja Jill KNOWS delve deeper into fear and discomfort. Subscribe to iTunes to listen to both here OR click on the link to each episode:

Episode 34: You will likely have to do it scared
Episode 35: What are you most uncomfortable with right now? 

Go after what you TRULY WANT. That’s what this life is all about.

Live POWERfully, do YOU.
