Overwhelm is a catalyst for change and a harbinger of unrealized gratitude.
Our client, Sarah, came to us recently feeling overwhelmed by the experience she was having in her business. She couldn’t seem to find a qualified candidate to help her with her marketing. As a result, she was feeling defeated and concerned that the Universe might be sending a message to her that she was doing something wrong or there wasn’t anyone who could help her. We invited her to acknowledge what she was feeling while also guiding her to focus on what else may be happening in her experience.
Gratitude arises naturally when our focus moves away from what is missing, lost, or unavailable in our lives and towards the abundance present in any given moment – through our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. With mindful attention we can honor both experiences by objectively observing and acknowledging these two truths at once. One truth does not take away from the other – experiencing them together creates an opportunity for transformation.
As Sarah shifted her focus, she was able to observe her experience without identifying with it. We invited her to focus on the passion and love she has for her business and to notice – while she needed help, she was also getting clear on the precise person for the role. With each candidate she discovered more clarity and refined the job description to better match her ideal candidate. As she focused more on what she was discovering (without avoiding the pain that she needed more help) she was able to find the ideal candidate in just a few weeks. The person she hired was completely different from the person she thought she would hire when she began the process. The process of not finding someone transformed her and led to greater success, more abundance, and ease in her life and business.
When we can honor what is present in our experience objectively, we become grateful for the change that is changing us. This gratitude frees us to transform and live an incredible life now – not just when things transform.
