What to Do if Your Business is Feeling Scary

If something feels terrifying in your business and at the same time you want to manifest all sorts of good things, including income, your body is your biggest ally.

If you’re feeling freaked out, it will be tempting to listen to your inner critic and inner doomsday announcer.

They will both be very, very convincing!

Don’t fall for it. While those two voices are attempting to protect you and help you out, they don’t always know the most useful way to do so. They might try to convince you to do questionable things, like avoid your business or overwork in your business.

The bad news is that when you’re freaking out, the best thing you can do is actually admit it to yourself and take a few moments to feel the sensations of freak out in your body. This is because connecting with the sensations allows you to get out of the mind-loops and terrifying thoughts that are amplifying the fear.

The good news is that, even though it’s uncomfortable, feeling the fear sensations in your body gets you closer to accessing your inner wisdom. THAT’S the voice that can carry you forward through the fear into a new, magical landscape.

Once you’re aware of your body and feeling the sensations of the fear (for example, maybe you notice your shoulders are hunched up and forward, you have a zinging electrical feeling in your chest, and your heart is racing), you’ll have a bit more perspective.

With this perspective, you can choose to do something that regulates your activated nervous system, like wrap yourself up in a blanket and feel the compression around your shoulders, make a cup of tea and sit outside with the flowers, take a walk, go swimming, meet with friends - whatever really supports you.

Once you feel more regulated, you can take a serious look at the thoughts that are amping up the fear. Now is a great time to do your favorite mindset tools to shift those limiting beliefs!

Those two practices, regulating and mindset work, will clear the path for your inner wisdom to feel more accessible and trustworthy. (We can hear inner wisdom when we’re activated, but we don’t always trust it.)

My favorite way to ask inner wisdom for help is to literally just ask it. Simple is good, right?

I grab a journal, sit down with my pen in hand, ask inner wisdom for guidance around the scary issue, and then I just listen inward. Whatever pops in, I jot down, no matter how strange it seems.

It’s important to trust what you get, because that’s how you develop that relationship with inner wisdom. If it says to go shower or take a walk or write an email - do it.

Remember, if it says something critical of you, it’s NOT inner wisdom! That’s your inner critic. You’ll need to go back and clear any other remaining limiting beliefs again if that happens.

If you don’t hear any guidance, move on with your day and just notice what shows up. Often inner wisdom appears when you’re doing mundane tasks. If an idea pops in while you’re doing laundry, jot it down!

And, you can also call on your angels or your spiritual guides for support. I love doing this when I’m freaking out. They’re amazing business allies, and they can help you regulate your nervous system, too! Ask them for help. Ask them for guidance. Ask them for magic. Ask them for signs.

They always have your back.

In fact, connecting with your spiritual team is part of what I help you do in my group program! The program is designed to help you do two things: Add mind-body coaching tools for you and your clients to your coaching toolbox and help you scale your business to the level you desire.

Inside the program, I use a blend of spiritual, magical, and practical tools and practices. I’m all about lining up the energy to make our practical lives more magical and much easier - and that applies in spades to our businesses! But - we can’t just forget the practical steps. It’s vital to tidy up your messaging and how your signature program runs (or develop one) if you’re not seeing the registrations you want and need.

In the program, you’ll learn how to regulate your nervous system, tune into your inner wisdom, relieve chronic stress-based ailments, grow and scale your business, tap into the divine feminine energy of magical manifesting, and work in a way that doesn’t create burnout or run you into the ground.
