Today, I want to talk to you about something that's all too relatable – those moments when life gets a little chaotic and our well-intentioned daily practices slip through the cracks.

It happens to the best of us, and trust me, I'm no exception.

The Slip-Up

Not too long ago, I found myself falling into this very trap.

It started with a series of Halloween parties, a birthday celebration, and the onset of the silly season.

I indulged a little too much, stayed up way past my bedtime, and, to top it off, I have three early-rising kids.

As you can imagine, my nights turned into short, sleep-deprived escapades.

Daily Practices Matter

Now, let me clarify that there's absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying life's festivities.

After all, what's life without a bit of indulgence?

The real issue arose when I let my daily practice slip, and for me, that practice is a combination of meditation, visualisation, and a technique known as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), or tapping.

The Importance of Daily Practice

Meditation, even if just for a few minutes, helps me ground myself, focus on where I want to go, and connect with my dreams.

EFT, on the other hand, is an invaluable tool for clearing emotional blocks.

If you're not familiar with EFT, I highly recommend checking out some YouTube videos to get a better understanding of this free and effective technique.

Doubt Creeps In

So, there I was, letting my daily rituals slip away.

And here's what I learned the hard way: when I lose touch with my daily practice, I lose touch with my belief in what I'm creating.

You see, my passion lies in heart-centred work, particularly in the realm of leadership. I'm on a mission to share this work with as many women in leadership as I possibly can.

Challenges on the Journey

Why? Because deep down, I know that heart-centred leadership can transform the way we lead.

It's about moving beyond the purely rational and logical approach to leadership, infusing it with elements of forgiveness, compassion, and courage.

But in the pursuit of this mission, doubt can be a pesky companion. I often wonder if I can truly make a difference when there are already countless coaches and leaders out there.

The Inner Critic

Without my daily connection to my vision, my belief in myself weakens, and my inner critic gains the upper hand.

Your Inner Struggles

Can you relate to that feeling when you desperately want something, but late nights, a few too many drinks, or the opinions of others start chipping away at your self-belief?

It's like a slow erosion of confidence, and if you don't have a daily practice to anchor you, your dream begins to slip through your fingers.

Staying Grounded

So, what's the message I want to share with you today?

It's simple but incredibly important: don't let the silly season or life's busyness drift you away from your dreams and your true self.

Believing in what you truly want is key, and this is something we often put off until the new year.

Commit to Your Dreams

Sure, you can pick things up again in January, but don't forget to reconnect with your dreams now.

The longer you wait, the wider the gap between you and your aspirations becomes.

The good news is that even amidst the revelry and festivities, you can commit to your daily practice and keep your dreams close.

Free Daily Practice

To help you with this, I've developed a free daily practice that can help you calm your inner critic in moments of self-doubt or stressful leadership situations.

Dancing with My Shadows: Imposter & Self-Doubt

Hey there, lovely souls!

Caroline here, and I've got a story to share straight from the heart. Today's podcast is a little different; it's more like a cosy chat over a cuppa.

So, grab your favourite brew and settle in.

Picture this: I'm in the creative process, crafting the subtitle for my program, "Rise Up and Lead with Heart." The main title, "Be Unapologetically You," feels spot on. But, oh boy, the subtitle journey turns into a rollercoaster.

I'm part of this fantastic mastermind group, and I'm feeling pretty confident about my first attempt. Bam! Reality check from the business strategist – not quite there yet.

Cue frustration, self-doubt, and a touch of blame thrown around.

Ever been there?

Here's the kicker: I realised my ego was hurt, and I was reacting, not responding.

Time to hit the brakes, ground myself, and shift gears.

It's a conscious dance with your shadows, after all.

Round two – a revised subtitle, and I'm feeling like a champ.

But guess what?

Polite feedback saying, "Go deeper, you're close but not quite there."

Ouch. The ego takes another hit.

Now, here's where the magic happens.

Instead of diving deeper into self-pity, I flip the script to gratitude.

Grateful for the constructive feedback, for someone genuinely invested in my growth.

A shift from fear to gratitude – it's a game-changer.

And that's the nugget I want you to take away.

When criticism stings or rejection knocks on your door, catch yourself in that story-spinning moment.

Find a sliver of gratitude – it's a beautiful twist in the plot.

Let's zoom out for a sec.

Ever notice how rejection can lead to something better?

Like those job rejections that later make you say, "Thank goodness I dodged that bullet!"

Life's funny that way.

So, here's the deal: in moments of self-doubt, when your inner critic takes the stage, acknowledge it.

Label those emotions, but then choose to shift.

Choose gratitude.

Trust that there's a bigger picture at play.

Now, if this resonates with you, I've got some goodies lined up.

First off, a free resource on calming your inner critic – a practical 3-day journey.

It's not just a PDF; it's a heart-centred practice to reconnect with yourself.

And for those ready to dive deeper, consider joining "Rise Up and Lead with Heart."

It's a monthly membership at $49.00.

We don't just talk strategies; we dive into the emotional rollercoaster of leadership – the stuff most shy away from.

Think emotional regulation, compassionate leadership, and navigating those challenging moments from the inside out.

So, beautiful souls, if this strikes a chord, I'd love for you to join.

And whether you do or not, I'll keep sharing these nuggets right here on the podcast.

Sending you heaps of heart-centred vibes.

Until next time, we love, we learn, we rise.

This is Caroline, signing off. Cheers! 🌟
