Intuition and signals from the mind and body
So I’m experiencing something that I haven’t for awhile – 16 months to be exact. We’re entering a period of busy-ness in our business that hasn’t occurred in that length of time. I knew that when I chose to be a business owner that it wasn’t going to be all smooth sailing and that you’d automatically get 4-8 clients on your plate to work on consistently and ending and beginning at the most opportune times. But it would be nice to get a heads up once in a while!
Since my body hasn’t been used to this level of busy-ness again, I’m getting some red flag signals. Sore back, lots of mind chatter and just the feeling that I can’t do it all. And I know that it’s just me being afraid and going into flight mode, but I also wonder if it’s a signal to slow down and that perhaps we’re not meant to have this many clients all at once. It’s hard to know what’s right.
I don’t have any answers right now, but I have lots of support, and I know that time will tell. If I push myself a little further than I did 16 months ago, I’ll know whether we can handle it and are ready for more staff support, or if we are just meant to have a steady roster of four clients monthly. I’ll keep y’all posted.
