End of year Reflections on the Last Working Day of the Year

Calm Meditation radio on Pandora, feeling reflective this morning.  What do I want to release…. what do I want to stop doing…and start doing in the new season.

Being mindful and slow even though my thoughts are racing.

My human self thoughts about business are racing because:

  • it is hard for me to slow downand I’ve chosen to take 2 whole weeks off this Christmas/New Year
  • comparison is the thief of joy (thoughts creep in when I am seeing what “everyone else” is doing to market or promote their business and I am doing NOTHING but BEING).
  • the “cult-ure conditining” that I SHOULD have a business plan that involves numbers and dates and drip and communication plans.
  • I’ve invested mondo moola in coaching and learning for 2014 already…. and in providing extrordinary experiences for my clients…. Scarcity creeps in and tries to seed fear each time I stretch myself and make a big leap.

What I KNOW when I check in with my higher self:

  • This moment is perfect.  Being here, having these thoughts, is perfect.
  • I AM ABLE – able to slow down, able to breathe, able to serve, able to earn, able to grow, able to love, able to play, able to coach, able to inspire, able to create, able to enjoy….and so that is what I will keep being  ABLE.
  • SLOWING DOWN was the 1st great magic of my 2013.  It changed everything…and opened me up to inner truths, inner peace, and outer miracles.
  • OPEN- HEARTED was the 2nd great magic of my 2013.  I prayed for an open heart…. and much of what I feared happened…and then I healed… something shifted from protecting myself and surviving in the world…to just being and sharing and connecting and serving and laughing….and CREATING ART!
  • CREATING OPEN-HEARTED ART was the 3rd magic in my 2013.  Even as I type this…. joyful tears come to the surface.  There is nothing that can hide in the shadows because I have opened the door of my heart to creating art almost every day.  I am an artist…and I am unleashed…I am open.  #fuckingmagicforsure
  • I have chosen to release striving.  So those things that are racing up there in my human mind can just chill the eff out.  Both striving and slowing down get me to the same place.  However, with the striving, I arrive miserable.  And with the SLOW DOWN…I arrive just on time with a smile on my face….and a 12ft orb of light around me, blessing everyone who encounters that orb.  That feels amaing.  I re-release striving and comparing.
  • I have a light…I love to share it.  When I share it love and light expand and that is the greatest gift I can give to myself and others.  This is one of the reasons I share so much on fb…both the big and significant things…and the small things.  Both the finished masterpieces and the mud in the middle.  Life is good.  Light is good.  I hope others will be inspired to share their light… their perfectly imperfect light.

In the upcoming season I desire to feel:

  • CREATIVE
  • Free
  • Expansive
  • Magical
  • Feminine—Divine Shakti Rising
  • Connected
  • Light
  • OUTRAGEOUSLY OPEN HEARTED
  • Energized
  • Flirty
  • Channeled
  • Relaxed
  • Mindful
  • ALIGNED
  • FLOW

In the upcoming season, I desire to live with EASE, SIMPLICITY, PRESENCE, MINDFULNESS, and a GENTLE PACE.

In the upcoming season, I am creating – deep and transformational experiences for my clients,and myself.  I am invoking the Sacred and Magic of the ages.  I will also keep the small magic and simply sacred a priority. I am creating both art and writing.  I will listen to my body, I will scan her with mindfulness and listen and respond to her with love and care. I will let go of comparison and keep my eyes on my own journey.  I will continue apprecating.  I will walk, and be ground my self in the dirt and grass of the earith, and I will connect as often as I can with the cosmos and the heavens.  I will #letlovewin in both big and small moments.  I will meet inspiring people.  I will inspire people.  I will nap, and nap, and nap.

I will keep coaching with an open heart….I will be more “WE” and less “I”.  I will allow an exquisite and bright and dog-friendly space/gathering space to find me…I will teach live “intuitive painting with an open heart” – classes.  I will minimize my foul language and mazimize laughter and hugs in daily life.

I will listen to my inner whisper…. to my heart…and I will HEAR her, and BELIEVE her, and TRUST her.

  • I have an important reminder for you: Stop looking back. Stop framing your future based on your past. I’m guilty, SO guilty actually, of doing this too. But we have to actively change this pattern in order to truly move forward. I’m sharing this now because it’s one of the two major takeaways I came away with from my mastermind last week and it’s the most impactful one I can share. So today I’m telling you the story of how I got called out on this during the mastermind and how we can actually change this pattern and reinvent ourselves. If you have even an inclination that this is you, or ESPECIALLY if you think this doesn’t sound like you (cough, that was me too), listen to today’s podcast (link in bio) and really reflect on how you are speaking to yourself. And of course, if you enjoyed this episode or it brought up any thoughts or insights, I’d love to hear!
  • I have a colleague who is putting out an offer. Her initial pricing was CHEAP and I called her and said NO. No to cheap. It’s ok for it to be hard. Stop needing it to be easy. Hard is good for your brain and being. Challenge + Skill =flow. Needing it to be easy keeps you in apathy. _______________________ If you don’t cross the line, fine. If you do- you are far more likely to joyfully create anything you desire. Even if it is hard.
  • I’m giving myself a natural mani/ pedi tonight. I’m meeting new people tomorrow and want to look cute. 😘 And while delicately painting my nails, I had a flash to my childhood and my parent’s bathroom. My parents still live in my childhood home 🏡. This is and has been their bathroom. It is seared in my being and memory. For 48 years. Some of my best memories are from my mom and her beauty regimens and bathroom. I remember sitting for pin curls and can almost smell the “dippity do gel” and the stack of bobby pins. I remember that before my mom got rheumatoid arthritis - she did her own acrylic nails. I have a flash of memory seeing her gently shape the powder into a beautiful nail before my eyes. I also remember a dremmel tool to smooth it. I have a high school memory of sitting with a friend on my parent’s bed while my mom sat at her beauty table and did her skincare and makeup. She did this hilarious soliloquy from the first dab of serum and moisturizer to the last swipe of mascara. We were enthralled and amazed. She was hilarious, and beautiful. and not only beautiful- she cared about her skin and hair and nails. She loved herself and modeled that. She gave me that gift. She gave me the love of embodied and expressed beauty and skin care. And a slight addiction to products!😉. Tonight Bill is dog sitting. I’m giving myself an at home evening of physical beauty care. It’s an outward expression of the deep adoration I have from the inside. Thanks, Mom. Jo Linda Crow
  • Where is your mindset today around accepting what is meant for you? I noticed towards the end of last year I had some things pop up when I realized what my revenue and profit numbers might look like for 2019. Even though I knew that 2019 was shaping up to be "better" than 2019 in terms of revenue, I was hesitant to consider this true until I saw the final books. This makes me wonder what we have trouble accepting for ourselves. I know that I put in my energy and time and knowledge into my business last year and that it was growing, so why did seeing the actual results feel a bit wonky? I'm curious if you've had some experiences like this, is there something that you think you are ready to accept and then when it possibly is happening, you feel hesitation?
  • In 2012 - 8 years ago.... I had to say good bye to my soul dog. This was Hank. He was 6 weeks old when I got him. 2 when I went through a divorce. 6 when I married Bill and he died at almost 12 years old He’s a good boy. And in his dying - he was on my bed and I was spooned up behind him. And as he passed- his spirit passed back through and up out of my body. And for that second and a half ~I felt heaven. I felt infinite love energy. And then it was gone. But I know it exists. And he and I are still connected. 💛
