I was on the phone with a friend the other day, sharing the changes I’m making to my business and my life.

She said: Wow. You are so unbelievably free.

Then she asked: Is your business in a place where you can do that? 

A client said a similar thing: Wait. Can you just do that?

Me: Waiting for things to be in place to make the moves I’m being called to make is kind of like waiting for the “perfect” time to have a baby. 

The time will never be perfect.

So anytime Spirit moves is the perfect time. Everything is always working out for me. For you, too. Can you see that? 

If you’ve ever seen someone doing something you’d like to do and wondered: “Can you just do that?”  or asked “Are you in a place where you can do that?”, you can flip these statements around and you’ll hear the scripts of your own Inner Critic.

“Can you just do that?” becomes “You can’t just do that.”

“Are you in a place where you can do that?” becomes “You’re not in a place where you can do that.”

These are scripts of your Inner Critic’s “false prerequisite” story.

This story is false because it actually works in reverse. 

See, here’s how this actually worked, sequentially, in my life.

I got crystal clear on:

• Who I really am
• Why I’m really here
• What I want my life to look like
• What I want my business to feel like
• What I want my family to look like

And then started to get into alignment with that.

I didn’t wait for them to be that way before I started making moves. 

I just decided what I want and surrendered to the alignment that needed to then take place. 

And then the downloads started to flow in about what moves to make, who to partner up with, who to work with and what relationships to maintain, where to be and when, what to stop doing what messages to deliver, what projects to work on, even what hours to work and how much to charge. 

So, please catch these principles, [First Name]:

Don’t wait until things are “in place” before you honor your inner impulses.

Honoring your inner intelligence and moving when Spirit says move is HOW you get things in the place you want them to be. 

That’s because when Spirit says move and you move, whether it’s the “right time” or not, everything in this Universe lines up to help you. 

Sometimes, that single step you take on faith is what opens up the avalanches of abundance that have been trying to flow to you.

Don’t wait until you’re ready to follow your Inner Guidance. 

Follow it and, by doing so, you’ll come into alignment with the desires of your heart and the callings of your soul.

Doors open.

Mountains move.

Obstacles are removed for you, not by you.

Assistance chases you down.

Fear falls.

Self-doubt dissolves.

And it feels like pronoia: that Greek word that translates to “everything is always working out for you.”

It feels like being alive.

It feels like magic.

Just a couple of days ago, on Saturday morning, I woke up with “should I stay or should I go” in my mind. I peered out the window at the smoke. I checked the Air Quality Index where I am, at my Farm on the Beach: 97. I checked it at my home in Oakland, 275.

My time in Monk Mode on the farm was rapidly coming to an end. The houses I’m renting were already booked by another group right after I was set to depart. I’d been having conversations with my friends about heading to Hawaii or Mexico or Puerto Rico to continue bypassing the smoke-and-fire season that has had my hometown shut indoors for about 25 days. 

I was a little stressed about having to move multiple times. I was a little stressed about keeping the flow and momentum and clarity I’d begun to generate in my business and on my writing. 

And finding a setup for LIttle Londyn that’s as good as her blissful arrangement here.

So I closed my eyes. I took a deep breath. And I said Infinite Spirit, show me the way. Where should I go next? 

I opened my eyes and wrote SHOW ME THE WAY at the top of my journal. Then I began to do my Daily Recalibration Ritual: sitting to slow my thoughts, then began to do my daily writing.

And then someone knocked at the door.

It was the farmer who owns this place. 

She said: You know, the funniest thing just happened. The people who were supposed to come after you just decided to postpone their trip until November. So you’re welcome to stay another couple of weeks.

I thought to myself: Wow. I asked for the way. And I got my answer. 

Fast.

Because when you surrender to whatever higher powers or forces you find resonant? 

Doors open.

Mountains move.

Obstacles are removed for you, not by you.

Assistance chases you down.

And it feels like magic. 

It feels like playing the game of life, and winning. 

It feels like being unbelievably free.

And the opposite is true, too.

When Spirit says MOVE and you:

• Ask your low-vibe friends what they think
• Google all the things that could possibly go wrong and add the whole world’s spiritual static on top of your clear message
• Tell yourself you’re being unreasonable or extra
• Tell yourself you can’t do X until your kids are “right”
• Tell yourself you have to lose 10 pounds first or get a PhD first, or
• Tell yourself you can’t do X because you need to make a living, even though you objectively have plenty of funds to live on.

It feels really, really, bad.

It feels like you overruling your own Inner Guidance and trading it for the comfort of inertia, the comfort of chronic fear, the comfort of telling yourself that you can pull the levers of losing weight or “fixing your kids” to feel worthy, when those are all just the unworthiness lies of the Inner Critic and this demoralized culture.

Because the truth is that you are a fractal of the Divine and this life — this Universe  — are your playground, NOW. Not just after COVID. Not someday. TODAY.

So stop disrespecting your own Divinity.

Stop fighting the feeling, okay?

When Spirit says MOVE — and you’ll know it, you’ll feel it — do whatever you gotta do to get into alignment with that and make the moves that feel like shackles off TO YOU.

That’s how you get unbelievably free. 

You MOVE when Spirit says move. 

Head up and heart out,

P.S.: Keep in mind that the Divine never speaks in the form of fear, panic or anxiety. Infinite Intelligence, which is the same as your Inner Intelligence, tells you what to move toward, not what to run from. 

P.P.S: The #1 reason high-achieving women don’t move when Spirit says MOVE — the #1 obstacle between human beings and their freedom, sovereignty and joy — is the paralyzing, crippling, shaming voice of their Inner Critic.

Your Inner Critic always says: someday.

Your Inner Critic says: it’ll be so hard.

Your Inner Critic says: you’re not ready for that.

Your Inner Critic says: you might fail, and you’ll be so ashamed. 

Your Inner Critic says: you’ll lose everything…stay small to stay safe.

If you relate to this, please hit reply and let me know what your Inner Critic says to hold you back. 

I’m writing a book about this, and would love your help. 

I’ll also be teaching some free live classes next month about deactivating your Inner Critic, just for Transformation Tuesday readers.

Stay tuned.

P.P.P.S.: As of today, our Air Quality at the Farm on the Beach is down to 50, back in the good zone. It’s nearly back to normal at home, too.

After a week of smoke-filled skies, we could see the stars last night and the ocean this morning. 

Everything is always working out for us.
