Total transparency here: I have an accountability partner. What is an accountability partner? Well, I work from home (as does my accountability partner) and working from home has a unique set of challenges (and rewards). So, we work together to check-in twice a day (once in the morning and once in the evening) and set our intention for what we are going to accomplish that day and help each other stay on track for longer term goals.
Today’s call began with discussing setting intention. I had been feeling frenetic yesterday and we focused on setting our personal and work goals with a focus on the big picture and the daily tasking. My partner asked me if I had been maintaing my spiritual practice (I meditate daily - well, try to). The truth is I had stopped recently as work had become more demanding. I often return to this book as a spiritual resource: Shambhala: Sacred Path of the Warrior. And over the past 10 days, my practice had been neglected - hence the increased frenetic energy and decreased intention.
On of the tenets of Shambhala: Sacred Path of the Warrior is to open yourself and fearlessly give to others, and in turn you help create a world of generosity and compassion. Yet, I had neglected my own self-care to be available to others.
Your business is an extension of you. It is an extension of all that is positive and powerful that you offer. Take care of yourself and move with intention and less frenzy. The world, and your business, will thank you!
