How to create even more success without the hustle
Over the last 3 years I have been in a huge hustle energy, while building my business. Actually, if I think about it, I have been in the hustle energy since I was about 8, and I am 35 now; so a pretty long time. Always hustling to over achieve, to get results and to perfect what I am doing. In this blog, I want to share 5 ways you can move out of the hustle boss lady energy, and into doing your career or business through self-care & nourishment and why doing it this way will give you even more success that you can imagine.
Now for any woman who is reading this and is either climbing the corporate ladder, or building their own business, you may have realised that you have spent a great deal of time in the over-achieving energy; pushing, striving, hustling, beating yourself up, working long hours, feeling that there is always more to be done, and ultimate that whatever you do it’s never enough.
I have been in this energy since I was a little girl. I couldn’t read properly until I was 8 years old, and had to stay back a year in school to catch up. It left me with a very wounded feeling of never being enough and always having to prove myself to my self and catch up with everyone else.
Whether it be school, academic tests, university, jobs, interviews, courses, and in recent years building my business, I have operated from a place of pushing myself, always feeling that it or I wasn’t enough and it needs to be more and never feeling successful no matter what I achieved (there was always more to do). You can read more about that story here.
Over the last few years, while building my business, and doing a lot of self-development work and healing on myself (as well as my clients). A great coach is always working on themselves! No hypocrisy here. I found myself healing these wounds of never feeling enough, building my business with this wounded hustle energy; working long hours, thinking about work non-stop, always needing to do more, wanting more and more success, which left me feeling so depleted, drained, and had a huge impact on my emotional health.
You see having goals, ambitions, dreams, desires are wonderful. But the energy you bring to them are crucial to your long term results.
When you approach your goals with the energy of over-achieving, unable to disconnect from work, feeling like it’s never enough, not having strong boundaries, not experiencing a work/life balance, always wanting to achieve more, or trying to perfect everything, it really becomes unsustainable. Not only is this energy super inefficient and depleting, when you use this energy to build your business/career you are doing it from a place of grind, exhaustion, desperation, and all of this becomes infused into not only how your feeling but the results you achieve.
Now, picture this for a moment: you have your dreams, you have your desires and vision, AND you have a deep belief you will achieve what it is you want, and are therefore very relaxed about it. You are calm, you are centred, your are optimistic. You are energised, you feel happy, and are inspired on a daily basis. What difference would that make to your business? What difference would it make to your health? What difference would it make to the results you get in your business goals?
Quite a lot I’d say. Bringing this kind of energy into your business means that your business is being created from a place of joy, and if you see your business as a energetic container in its own right, when the business is happy, what it’s able to create is so much better and magnetising to others.
Today I want to share 5 ways you can create even more success without the boss lady hustle and how to do it with love, peace, joy, and balance:
Your biggest superpower is your desire. Each day, spend some time connecting to your heart. What does your heart truly desire for your business/career? What does it want? When you come from a place of deep desire, you infuse the energy of love into your business; and what comes from love? Anchored success.
Work-life balance; whether you stop answering emails at a certain time, no longer answer your phone after 5pm or stop thinking about work after work, creating a work-life balance will give your body and mind the rest it needs to re-fill, get energised and bring a renewed zest to work. The more energy you have, the better the results you get.
Self-care rituals; this is by far one of my favourite. That could mean a massage, a spa day, a home facial, a long lie in or warm bath; doing something that allows you to deeply relax is key in creating more success. The more relaxed you are, the more magnetic you become, which means better sales, better communication, and better relationships all round!
Be kind; to yourself. So simple, yet so important and often so hard. If you are anything like me you may find it hard to celebrate what you have already done instead of always wanting to do or achieve more. Bringing not only a sense of compassion to yourself but also allowing yourself to recognise your daily achievements will boost your moral, uplift your self-worth and give you more of a glow. And the better you feel about yourself, the easier it is to actually do more.
Give yourself time. They say patience is a virtue and it truly is. I am so patient with others, yet often find it hard to be patient with myself. Creating success is a long term game plan. If you acknowledge your small wins, as well as the big ones you will feel tuned in to the feelings of success now, and therefore allow yourself to create more success from a place of confidence, calm and joy.
Ultimately, you can choose the energy you bring to your work, but the type of energy you bring will bring with it certain results. If you are desiring long term success, feelings of happiness, deep inner fulfilment and well-being, it might be time to reflecting on building your business through love, work-life balance, self-care, kindness and patience. I truly know this is so much more nourishing, so much more sustainable and brings far better results; more success, more money and more opportunities, but you feel good the whole way through.
