I slammed my laptop shut. Probably 20 times.
Have you ever started something with a lot of excitement and slowly ended up completely abandoning it?
Well, something similar happened to me, a blank dullness.
A few weeks ago, I started making some free gifts for my subscribers. Things like my guide to unlocking an adventurous mindset and a cute little video with a self-writing hand. I perfected my website and worked on sales pages.
But in the middle of all that, all I could think was
I miss my blog.
I want to write my blog.
I want to write.
And I couldn't find the right moment or the words.
It's not that I didn't enjoy doing the other stuff, and it’s not that I don’t know it’s important to reach my goals—but I still realized one thing.
That little voice inside that some people think is just stress, is nothing more than our intuition reminding us that we're straying from the path.
Let me start from the beginning.
I turned off the air conditioning, put on my bikini, and dived headfirst into the pool, which I’d call perfect in terms of temperature.
I started swimming laps.
5 laps, 10 laps, 15 laps... I didn't want to stop.
When I swam to one side, I had the view of a gorgeous beach with white sand and emerald water, and when I swam to the other, I would see the mountains full of palm trees, and pure nature.
The sky shifted from blue to orange, and then to red. The colors became more intense.
At one point, as I surfaced, I saw the first star.
And the sky started to fill with stars to the point that it looked like someone had hung Christmas lights there. It was beautiful.
I stopped without even realizing it.
That night was a new moon, meaning there was no moonlight to hide those stars.
Call me crazy, but as the astrology geek I am... I knew that this was a magical time. It was eclipse season—the perfect time to manifest whatever you desire.
Anything you desire.
And, as my cousin says...I still believe in magic. Always will.
I started talking to the stars, a little spontaneously.
"Well, I don't know what I want." Fantastic starting point...
Alright, maybe I should start with how I want to feel.
"I will feel completely free, I will inspire others to live a life that brilliantly thrills them, and people will know they have the power to achieve what they set out to do. I’ll remind myself of that whenever I get lost, like now. I will find something I love to do that also benefits others."
I kept on swimming. Now, I was overwhelmed by a sense of gratitude that I hadn't noticed before.
I decided to let go and trust.
The next day, I woke up and started this blog.
And I enjoyed it, oh, how I enjoyed it.
Is there something you can do for hours without looking at the clock? Cooking a great meal for someone you love, reading a good book, watching movies, or whatever it is.
For me, it turns out to be writing. I get lost in my memories and imagination, and I love being in that little world for a while.
So I started having a great time, kept on writing, here and there, and I thought, I could write for others. Give a voice to people who want to tell their stories. And that’s how my business idea started to take shape. The one that would give me freedom, the opportunity to inspire through writing...
But, as I told you, I started to stray from the path.
I started to get swayed by what might be in demand, by what might be more popular... and on that path, I got lost.
Not for long, though.
My intuition warned me in time, and for once, I listened to it.
I understood that I was creating something that didn't exist yet and that it's normal not to know the way, but if I listen to myself, I know that every day I'm getting closer to what I asked for.
It's normal to get carried away by the thousands of possibilities and options out there.
I took a break to reset, avoid drawing a blank, and get back on track.
And how satisfying it is not to have continued down the wrong path and to have come back here.
Now I see everything much clearer.
And how wonderful it is to know that I can write, make a living from it, and inspire without having to lose my voice to do what I believe others need.
As if I knew what they wanted… or they did.
What a relief to know that we all have the voice of our intuition at our disposal, and it’s always there, even when I doubt it or don’t listen.
And what a coincidence that six months later, another lunar eclipse materializes what I asked for six months ago with an unexpected message: "Would you like to write for us?"
The universe is never wrong.
Well, we'll talk about my passion for energies and the sky another time if you're interested.
And you, do you listen to your intuition, or do you call it stress and follow the path set by others?
