This week I learned something HUGE.
I almost ended up paying way more for one of my platforms because thousands of spam emails had been added to my system… and I had no idea.
I had been in Effect since last week.I freaked out. I got annoyed. I felt overwhelmed.My mind went straight to, “What platform do I need to switch to? What am I going to do?” It felt like things were happening TO me.
Then Monday came, and I finally slowed down.I was taking action toward moving my website to a new platform, and right when I was about to download the sheets I needed, I saw exactly why I was about to pay waaay more.
I realized I hadn’t been choosing where my focus was going.I was reacting instead of responding.
That’s the difference with Cause and Effect.
Effect pulls you into the reasons and the why. It keeps you in the rabbit hole.
Cause brings you back into choice.
So I asked myself, What can I do right now? Where is my attention going? How do I get back into my choice?
And just like that, I felt aligned again. This is one of the hardest things about being a business owner sometimes.
Paying attention sounds simple, but it’s one of the quickest ways to step back into Cause and lead your day instead of reacting to it.
🪞 Reflection:
Where have you been at Effect without noticing?
And what shifts when you bring your attention back to Cause today?
