Starting your own business is one of the most exciting things you can do: the promise of making your own decisions for something that’s entirely yours is exciting and nerve wracking! However, sometimes it can be difficult to drown out the noise that’s stopping you from moving forward. Make Your Passion Project Thrive With Intention & Clarity..let’s talk!
Are you distracted by thoughts of your business – your passion – your side hustle?
(whatever you want to name it!)
Are you procrastinating, talking negatively about yourself/your talents and find you are too afraid to even start!?
What if I start my business and realise I don’t love it?
What if the niche I choose is wrong for me – I could put a lot of work into it and realise I should do something else..
I don’t know anyone who is doing what I’m doing..
My brand might not be strong enough..
I want to do a few different projects but don’t know if that will confuse people..
I feel you. I hear you. I am you.
My Own Creative Passion Projects
I have suffered from overthinking, oh indeed I have!
I wanted to be a women’s contemporary fiction author…but I also wanted to blog about personal development & creativity.
These different paths made me overthink.
I was a fashion designer, wanting to be an author but I also wanted to be a blogger..
What if I returned back to my fashion brand after becoming an author? Would that confuse everyone?
Overthinking and procrastinating took over me…
What should I be? An author, a blogger or a designer?
I didn’t want to pick the wrong path – because picking the wrong path would be worse than anything right?
Wrong!
I am done with thinking ‘what if’s”. Nothing comes from doing nothing. If I do what I love then a path will appear.
You Are Enough
Firstly, accept yourself. You deserve to be happy, you are worthy of the life that you want to live.
You do not need to reflect back what everyone else is doing around you.
This is your time.
One Step At A Time
Give 100% of who you are today and see what the future holds.
Don’t overthink the path ahead – you don’t NEED to have all the answers now.
Stop trying to see what works.
Do what feels good for you.
Don’t try to make a path, a path will appear if you just be and keep doing what feels right for you…
Take Action & Trust
Are you like me?
I spent so much time trying to visualise my path that I couldn’t even take my first step…
It’s exhausting and impossible to know where you will be.
Make Your Passion Project Thrive With Intention
Here are my tips and guidance to help you find clarity:
Listen to your inner self. What feels authentic, honest and rewarding for you? If you need to journal some questions, think on these:
- What does success mean to me?
- What gives me joy right now?
- What inspires me to achieve the goals in my life?
- What would I regret not doing at the end of my life?
Once you start to un-scramble your mind of doubts and negative thoughts, you should see where you are heading.
Motivate with Daily Encouragement
It’s now time to encourage yourself.
By saying affirmations for the course of the week, you should find your mind becoming more focused and positive. I have created special affirmations below you can use. Say these every morning and write them down five times.
Optional: Maybe you would prefer to pick some other affirmations of your own that feel good for you? Have a think what resonates with you and make them part of your daily routine for at least the next week.
I trust in my own abilities
My path is showing itself and I have the courage to follow it
I am inspired and have a clear mind of what I want
Start this journey. Take action and move forwards…things will fall into place without you needing to know the destination clearly.
