Your internal vision may not always match your external reality. This can feel frustrating when you have big dreams for your business. Yet at the same time it’s important to take one step at a time to support your next level of business growth.

In this week’s blog we’ll be exploring how to manage your emotions when you’re not living out the vision you have for your business. How to bridge the gap between your internal vision and your external reality. Lastly, what to do if you’re too attached to the outcome and how to detach and trust.

Bridging the gap

When your external reality doesn’t match your internal vision there are several things you can do (and not do) to change this.

First, recognise that you are exactly where you are supposed to be. Pushing harder to try and prove yourself isn’t the best strategy. Sometimes slowing down will help you speed up as it will help you connect with your inner vision. 

Here are some ways you can do that…

Silent meditation – Doing a silent meditation is a fantastic way to connect with your intuition and inner guidance. When you slow down and allow yourself to receive, that’s when you give yourself the gift of insight. To start, get yourself grounded. You can either do this through breathwork or through a grounded meditation. You can then sit in silence and ask your guides, angels, the Universe ‘what do I need to know today to support my growth’.

Sit in silence for 5 – 10 minutes, although I like to do this for 11:11 minutes. Allow yourself to connect with your intuition, letting go of any attachment to the outcome and getting out of your logical head. When you come out of your meditation, journal on what you received. Allow yourself to detach instead of getting caught up in the meaning or the how.

Visualisation – Our mind doesn’t know the difference between imagination and reality. When you take the time to visualise your vision and really feel into what you want to create, that’s when you bring your vision closer to reality. Make this a daily practice and get into as much detail as possible. Notice what you see, hear and feel.

This is a fantastic way to bridge the gap between your vision and reality. It doesn’t all have to be about doing and taking action. Although that is a very important part of the process. Equally though, it’s important to take a step back and allow yourself to call in your vision and receive it.

Managing your emotions

When you’re not where you want to be this can create an imbalance in your emotions. Shifting you from positive and empowering emotions, to more disempowering ones. Especially if you listen to your internal critic. That’s why it’s important to manage your emotions when you’re not where you want to be in your business. Because frustration, disappointment and worry won’t get you closer to achieving your business vision.

Here are three powerful tips to help you manage your emotions so you can fastrack your vision into reality…

Emotional scale – Notice in the moment where you are on the emotional scale. What’s the energy of the emotion you’re sitting in right now? Is it lifting you up or pulling you down? What’s the next best feeling thought you can choose to move up the emotional scale?

EFT / Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) – EFT is a powerful tool to reduce the intensity around your negative emotions. It also will help you clear beliefs which are not in alignment with the vision you hold for yourself and your business.

Shifting focus – It’s easy to spend your time focused on the future and all that you have to do and all that you haven’t achieved, yet. But is this really supporting you with bridging the gap between your vision and reality?! A better approach is to look back at how far you’ve come. What have you achieved over the last six months or a year? Notice how far you’ve come and celebrate your achievements. You are closer than you think.

Leaning into trust

Your conscious mind likes cold hard facts, because certainty makes us feel safe. But sometimes we have to let go, surrender and lean into trust. When you’re too attached to the outcome it’s hard to focus on anything else. You get tunnel vision and your creativity and productivity plummets. This will not help you get closer to bringing your vision into reality.

Allow yourself time and space to accept what is. Set your intention and give your vision a purpose. What will it mean to you to achieve this? What will it mean to your clients? Get really clear on your vision and spend some time in silent meditation. Once you’ve got clear on what you want to create, take one action that will move you closer to your vision. Whether that’s promoting your offer, or following up with a lead.

Then let go and surrender. Do something completely different and put it to the back of your mind. Go out for the day, pop to the cinema, run a hot bath. Whatever it is you do, just make sure you detach from the outcome and just trust. Because everything you desire is closer than you think and when you free your thoughts, you create space for manifesting your desires, in magical and creative ways.
