Are you stuck on spin? [Monthly Wisdom]


Happy August Reader!
​
A couple of days ago, I was having my weekly call with my accountability partner from the business program I’m in and we were talking about an ongoing project that she hadn’t finished yet. The project required some level of tech (which happens to be one of my superpowers) so the previous week, I had offered to give her an assist, but she hadn’t yet taken me up on the offer.

Instead I heard her saying the same words I had heard from her for the past few weeks, I just need to figure out X and then I can move forward.

At that point that I said to her … you know what? You just need to get out of the spin cycle so you can dry your clothes and fold them.

We both had a good laugh!!

After all, she’s a coach too, so even though she was a little stuck on this one thing, she knew exactly what I was talking about.

Sometimes there isn’t actually anything for us to figure out, but keeping our mind in problem-solving mode makes us feel safe. If we don’t finish what we are currently doing or thinking that is keeping us preoccupied, we might not have to find out what happens when it is finished. And at some level our brains are just spinning because we are afraid!

The real solution that we actually need sometimes is help … to get out of our own way and be open to something new. Something that we actually can’t figure out on our own because it involves learning things that simply aren’t in our zone of genius.

And when we get that help, things start to move a lot faster!!

Does this metaphor resonate with you? Is there an area of your life where you find yourself in the spin cycle - repeating the same (false) thought, belief or story over and over again?

I’d love to hear from you, just hit reply to share what you’ve uncovered!!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Much love,
Natalie

Well, Reader, I did it! The Spark officially premiered on Saturday October 10th in the 10pm block. The fact that it was 10-10 at 10 is not lost on me. (If you aren’t familiar with numerology, that’s simultaneous a bunch of ‘1’s, which symbolize new beginnings, ‘111’, an angel number, and a ‘3’, when you add the ones, which is all about creativity. ) This moment was divinely guided every step of the way. I wasn’t as ready for my premiere as I thought - turns out that talking about my former...

Hi Reader, If there is one thing I’ve learned from my 6 years as an Embodiment Coach, it’s that momentum and success tend to feel a little elusive. When things are working, they are really working and we often don’t have the first idea how we got there. And when things aren’t working, we just seem to feel more stuck, no matter what we may try to do in order to change our circumstances. And so what do we do? We try harder, exhaust ourselves, and beat ourselves up for not doing enough, all at...

Hi Reader! This Sunday as my family was wrapping up our weekly Zoom call, my Dad asked me about the “rejection” I received that I had referred to on my social media. So I went on to tell him that I got my first film festival rejection … and while it wasn’t completely a surprise, it did hit me a lot harder than I thought. It actually took me a good 3-4 days to fully process the sadness. If you are curious about my process, you can read more about it on Substack here. After I shared this, I...
