Fall in Love with Life and Business Again

November 29, 2020

If you’re like me, you’re coming off a long weekend celebrating Thanksgiving in a way that’s not familiar. 

Maybe you created new traditions, or had another family Zoom, whatever it was, it probably wasn’t “normal’.

You may be naturally reflecting back on this year as well, and as we look back it’s easy for us to remember how awful 2020 was. 

I want to remind you that it was wonderful too. 

Not to diminish the challenges and real shit that happened this year, but just to remember that there was BOTH/AND this year too. 

I say this even during a week where a music legend in my life and heart, Hal Katchum, passed away and I’m feeling sadness and loss around it. 

Even during times like these, we can remember to fall in love with our lives and businesses again. Even Hal’s music had this VERY message for me today as I listened to his music:

“Let’s put aside the pain and all the sorrow
Stop talking about the way things might-a been
If we’d only throw our hearts into tomorrow
Tonight we just might fall in love again.” -Hal Katchum

It’s my hope that this week’s podcast episode will help you do this. Throw your heart into tomorrow and fall in love again.  I hope that sharing the lessons I’m learning about regaining my mojo even when the world is topsy turvy will help you do the same. 

If you are ready to shift your energy, you can listen to it here or wherever you usually enjoy the show. I’ve already heard of quite a few “aha” moments that came to listeners of this episode, if you have one too, I’d love to know, share with me on Instagram or Facebook. 

Love, 

As always, 

Authentic & Ambitious, 

 

Allison Crow

Each emotion is a part of your system trying to communicate something important about your needs. By listening with empathy to these parts, you deepen your understanding of yourself and build emotional intelligence. This practice of compassionate inquiry helps you strengthen your connection to your internal experience and empowers you to respond in a way that aligns with your true Self.

Overthink Much? I have this mental ideal that is Overthink Much?

I have this mental ideal that is embedded in my brain that I would be able to wake up and move forward with all my intentions.  I can see the clear direction and simple steps. I can envision all the "results" and the relief I make up those results would bring. 

One of the things I'm teaching myself to do - is try to write more from a professional voice for you instead of blab in inner processing out on this little white pop-up box. 

How's that working, Alli?

Buahahahah.... all my sweet and striving little parts trying to hold my life closely to that ideal.  I sense the squirm of these parts in my body even when my "thinking" is clear.

I now know this to be a signal for me to slow down and meet those parts with calm and curiosity. First, I must get past one of my sneakiest and most powerful parts—my "awareness" part. This is not Awareness from my core self. 
In IFS - we call these self-like parts. The distinction is that the awareness part carries the burden and tone of "You're doing it wrong."

I asked my clients to notice the part of them that is "mindful and self-aware." What are the words that the voice uses? What is its tone? 

Is it SELF-calm and compassionate, deeply connected? Or is it cognitive and managerial with a motive? 

OOOOF...sending sweet love and compassion to all my thinking, overthinking, and trying-to-get-it-right-for-some-imaginaryideal-parts, and to yours. 

These parts need our somatic connection and attunement. They do not need judgment and alienation. They are scared and holding ages of fear and pain. 

Hello, inner managers, and judgers, and thinkers.  I see you.  I am here for you.  I see your skills.  You have done nothing wrong.  No matter what you feel, you deserve more love, not less.  Let's just breathe together, and then you can share your fears and concerns.  I am here for you.  I will not leave you.

In the IFS community, we call triggers "trailheads In the IFS community, we call triggers "trailheads" or say, "This part of me is really activated." Identifying and caring for emotionally reactive parts gives us the opportunity to respond with intention rather than impulsively. By practicing emotional regulation and internal partswork, you can create space between stimulus and response, allowing for more thoughtful and grounded decision-making.

For me, it was the fear I would disintegrate and b For me, it was the fear I would disintegrate and be insignificant.  For many, it's attached to conditional love.  IFS coaching helped me in places typical coaching couldn't.  It helped me compassionately understand and connect with these parts - and ya know what? They began to relax, build trust, and step back, leaving space for my natural creativity, grounded confidence, and clarity to lead in my work & life.  This is available to you.  #ifscoaching
