stop trying to microwave your success

let's talk about what to do in the waiting season when we don't feel like things are happening or moving in the right direction

Most people want quick results and turnaround time for almost everything in their lives: food service, body changes, business growth, wealth building, healing journey, hair styling, dating, childbirth etc. You name it, we want it started quickly and available by tonight. But our impatience and “delulu” expectations have made us deeply dissatisfied with our current realities and obsessed with the things that we want to show up quickly but can’t currently see.

Season 5, Episode 147: how to embrace your waiting season & be patient while manifesting

This episode was purely intuitive as are most of my episodes, where I only choose to speak on a topic when I feel energetically called or have some personal insight to share. If anyone knows how it feels to be in the waiting season, it’s definitely me. I know nothing about overnight success or quick results. Everything that I’ve achieved or worked towards in my life has taken years of consistent effort, trying and failing, building faith, strategy and resilience. To be honest, it’s still a journey that I’m on. And in the process of starting my life completely over in a different state this year, I know for sure that you can’t rush the process of the waiting season. You just have to embrace it and listen to what God is trying to tell you.

To keep it real, I feel like I’ve been waiting my whole life for something big to happen, or like I’ve been in preparation for something. And while I’m always moving closer to my dreams and goals, there’s always a gap or space between where I currently am and where I’d like to be. And let’s be real, that just sounds like the typical human experience. We’re always wanting more, asking for more, anticipating more. I truly understand the ambitious girlies, and that’s why I started a whole other blog just for us. But the key to staying on the right track, in order to attract our desires into our field? Appreciating where we are right now. Learning to embrace your current circumstances and only focus on what you can control every day (actions, thoughts, gratitude) will make the journey to success so much smoother.

You’re NOT behind

If you’re in a season of feeling like you’ve been putting in the work, making sacrifices, staying consistent and building your faith, but are not quite yet in the place that you imagined, this episode is for you. I’m giving a few tips on how we can shift our perspective and start taking action to keep us in alignment with our goals while releasing judgement of self, comparison, self-loathing, and other negative emotions. If we’re manifesting some big shit we need to clear ALL of the energy that’s holding us back and making us feel stuck or behind. I promise you those feelings are just an illusion bred from the times we’re currently living in.

Everyone seems to have everything on social media. Scammy coaches will make you believe manifesting $200,000 in 2 weeks like “they did” is the norm for everyone. It’s an overload of projections, fake lives, and ego driven funnels to keep you feeling bad about where you are in life. And maybe you forgot about everything that you’ve actually manifested in the recent years. Maybe you forgot about the challenges you’ve overcome and the person you’ve become as a result of the inner work. We can’t forget about those things because it’s the proof that we need in order to reinforce the belief that things are always moving in the right direction, and that everything always works out.

Hope you enjoy listening. Feel free to drop a comment and let me know what stuck with you in this episode. Let’s chat about it!
