There are a lot of people taking massive action right now in the Pilates industry, hey!?
Our industry is moving at an incredibly fast pace and maybe you are feeling like it's a little difficult to keep. Maybe you want answers to when this is all going to end or if things will still be the same. Maybe you feel excited at how things will change or maybe you feel overwhelmed, left behind, or like your having to force things.
I felt called to jump in your inbox today and ask you to consider the flip side of 'taking action' for a little while.
And I know it's hard, you are losing income and fighting to keep your business or teaching career alive - me too! It's fucking hard! But if we get stuck in 'action' mode without ever allowing ourselves to feel we eventually crash! we burn-out, feel exhausted, and lose our mojo!
But stop looking outside of yourself for clarity! You are the expert on what the right move is for you, your family and business right now - not anyone else!
I'm assuming you have read all the things - yes you need to pivot, yes you need to get online, yes you still need to offer your customers incredible value but it doesn't need to be done in madness, feelings of lack and without consideration. There is enough for everyone.
Action is not the antidote to fear! Fear dissipates the more you trust yourself!
The flip side of this coin for me is observation and stillness before I take action. I'm not going to lie, it doesn't feel as good as being productive and taking massive action! It feels uncomfortable and really unsettling! Often it kind of feels I'm wasting time!
But if you stick with it, even just for a day it's a chance to use this time not just to rest and be still but to REINVENT YOURSELF!
It's a chance to see where you lack self-agency, to see where you lack self-trust, to ask better questions, and to give yourself the gift of time and softness. To sink in and listen to where the gaps are for you that make you trust other people before you trust yourself!
Do this and you can re-emerge as a truer version of yourself.
Allow yourself to feel first and then take action. Take it at your own pace and in your own time!
This is your chance to reinvent yourself!
your business, your family life, your lifestyle - everything!!
Just make sure you are doing the work of both action and in-action - you need both to move in the right direction!
Sending good Pilates vibes your way!
