Creating Inner Peace

On a recent teleseminar, I spoke about Inner Peace. There are many aspects to creating and maintaing Inner Peace. However, if you are going to only focus on one characteristic, I would suggest that you look at resistance. Resistance is being in the mindset of:

- 'Something is wrong here' or
- 'something shouldn't be this way'.

This mindset undermines Inner Peace and creates stress, frustration, anger and disappointment. The problem with this mindset is that if we wait till all our circumstances line up so that we can have Inner Peace, we are at the mercy of our circumstances - which honestly never line up perfectly the way we imagine we want it to be.

So, if you are looking for 'Inner Peace in the face of your circumstances', you are going to want to become aware of all the places you resist. Here I have listed the four forms of resistance and an example of each:

1) Gossip
i) "Did you hear what she said?"
2) Complaints
i) "I cant' believe it's snowing again!"
3) Forcing an outcome
i) Using the cold shoulder to force someone to apologize to you
4) Wishing that something would change
i) Your spouse's clothes on the floor

Spend a few minutes each day and begin to list all the places you resist. Once you begin to notice these areas, then you can begin to change them.

What about you?

I want you to have a close look at what you have done today? How many activities both in your business and in your personal life have you handled? Could you have delegated any of those activities to create greater balance in your life?

The message we are given as women is that we should be able to handle all the demands of our business and personal lives, and if we are stressed by it, something is wrong with us.
Being a woman entrepreneur doesn't mean you have to juggle it all. A good entrepreneur is one who has learned to delegate the activities that aren't her 'forte' or that she doesn't enjoy doing. Being an entrepreneur means being a leader.

One of the main reasons we don't delegate is that we don't feel entitled to. I want you to give yourself permission right now to NOT juggle it all. You don't need to do it all. I want you to ask yourself in this moment, what and who could you have delegated to today? What can you delegate tomorrow and follow through on it!
