Sometimes the kindest thing we can do is to stop rushing our own becoming 🌼
This is something Headspace radio shared with me this morning whilst doing my makeup and it resonated with me very deeply, especially at the moment.
Since becoming a neurodivergent mentor, I've really made something of myself and I went from being very lost last year to running my own business based around something I'm truly passionate about and genuinely skilled at.
I've always been a natural mentor (even in primary school 😂) and helping person - I've never shied away from difficult conversations and emotions. In the past 5 months, I've come across the most wonderful neurodivergent individuals, of all ages, with the most unique and incredible brains.
I care so much about helping neurodivergent people feel seen and heard, as well as helping them recognise how genuinely brilliant their brains are. This is what I always needed growing up, because a lot of the I felt like there was something wrong with me and could never be capable of a lot.
But running your own business isn't easy and I can be hard on myself. I was literally telling my partner yesterday that if only I could just reach more people and how will I ever do it enough for this to become my life?
I have so many ideas, but the problem is that I need to reach the right people and so many people need and would love this mentoring, but they don't know about it.
I am only one person and I don't know whether to put my time into trying to reach more people, or doing a business course that's funded by the government and concentrate on my neurodivergent coaching course as well.
Maybe I need to break it down day by day. That's a good strategy. I know I need to improve my website and maybe make some videos. I need to reply to emails and change my booking system because I hate the one I have. I've decided I should have been a sole trade all along and I'm trying to change from a limited company.
So much to do and so many tasks with a highly demand avoidance person - it can feel overwhelming. But I'm trying to take it one step at time, do what I can and keep living in the present moment. Sometimes I just feel like I won't ever succeed.
So to hear that sometimes the kindest thing we can do is to stop rushing our own becoming, has relaxed my mind and made me realise that I am only one person and I should give myself more grace. I've never done this before - I did a marine biology degree not an advertising or business one. 🤣
I want to reach and help people, not be a sales person. 😭
But I'll get there. ❤️
