This is Anne with your Coaching On The Go.

I’m sitting by the fire at SpiritRiver.

It is incredibly quiet.

It’s not always this way.

The only things I can hear are an owl in the background, some katydids in the woods, and then crickets.

I’ve spent the whole day following my hunches, just feeling my way as to what feels right and what doesn’t, following my intuition.

What happened?

A massive amount got done today and it feels “feng shui’d.” (Did I just make a verb out of a noun?)

I looked and thought about the things that didn’t feel right, just like when I have you breathe into a feeling for information.

I would look at an area, feel it, and if it felt right or not, I’d breathe into it, think about what needs to happen there, get a hunch, and follow it.

What resulted is a day of incredible productivity.

And I still have a lot of energy left!

In the last couple of weeks, I’ve felt sick.

I’ve been purging and going through a twelve-week rebirth process to connect with my authenticity, who I really am.

Within that process, I got sick.

I believe I got sick to purge things and have rebirth.

There were so many things that I could have had to do while I was sick, but I decided that I was in a process and to honor the process.

What is resulting now is the last three days I’ve been up at SpiritRiver getting incredibly accurate hunches.

I’m making shifts to the way I do things, and changes are happening.

What does it take to do that?

It takes openness and trust.

When I ask you, “What are you willing to let go of to become the next version of yourself or to meet the next version of yourself?”, this is what I’m talking about.

When you have a plan, how difficult is it for you to allow yourself to trust and shift it?

I created Otiwote in my mind years ago.

Last year I ran it for the first time.

I ran it at a camp adjacent to my retreat center because my retreat center didn’t feel like it was ready.

This year, as I went to offer Otiwote, many variables kept presenting themselves.

At first, I tried to muscle through them, then I started to see that I was being guided to shift.

As scary as it can be, I decided there was nothing to do but allow myself to see, be playful, listen, and trust that what was showing up for me was a new direction I was meant for.

So today, tonight, I’m sitting here in the quietest, incredible peacefulness at the last fire I’m going to have in this spot because I’m moving this fire ring, this beautiful ring of river stone.

I’m starting to move it tomorrow because intuitively I heard this is in the wrong spot and there’s a special place it gets to be moved to, so I’m honoring that.

I’ve been talking to you about creating for the last several weeks, about the nitty gritty of creating.

These are some of the most important elements in navigating an authentic, creative, purpose-driven life.

When you see that things aren’t going as planned at first you look and see if you need to put more effort in. 

Do you need to shift some variables?

At what point, do you sense the creative universe is helping you shift something?

If things aren’t working out for you, if you aren’t making the money you wished or not having satisfaction, what are you willing to let go of in trust and at the same time, pay attention to the hunches and ideas you get so that you can be guided authentically into your next level?

I’m pretty advanced at transformation, and it still catches me once in a while.

I love the fact that no matter how good I get at it, my next level always asks me for something more, something I haven’t had to let go to receive before.

Today’s coaching is about trust, play, and how listening to the Universe, listening to God Force, is not difficult.

It is like pushing the easy button, but most people don’t do it because it is not what they planned.

I encourage you, whether you are struggling or not, but in particular, if you are struggling and saying, “I’m working so hard!”, “It’s not happening!”, what are you resisting?

What information are you not paying attention to that you could to push the easy button?

Tonight, I’m sitting in ease and it feels fabulous!

I want that for you, too.

Have a beautiful night.
