I haven't worked in last 5 days

Even with a launch coming up

I haven't worked for the last 5 days. Even with a launch coming up.

I was sick. Tired. And honestly didn't have the energy to do promotions of my upcoming workshop.

Yes, I got overwhelmed with guilt for a couple minutes...”Shruthi what if no one buys!” “Shruthi you didn't promote it enough!” “Shruthi you've committed to something and you're not giving your fullest!”.

And then my soul became bigger than my fearful mind... somehow.

Saying "Shruthi it's okay!"

Some amazing incidents happened later.

In a conversation with my co-host

Brian To

we decided to prioritise joy and fun...to do the workshop irrespective of how many people join! We can always record the workshop and put it out later!

Then my friend

Ashi Singhal

gave me a challenge to prioritise joy and slowness irrespective of the guilt and desperation❤️

Then the first post I saw on LinkedIn today was Marissa Fontana 🪐 (an astrologer) talking about everyone going through this phase!😍

I'm taking all this as signs from the universe.

That everything would be okay. Just listen to your heart and flow!

It feels amazing! Like my heart has settled and expanded at the same time (??).

This doesn't mean I'm not ambitious or not hardworking enough. This doesn't mean I'm not dedicated enough.

This just means I'm being...me!

We often put so much pressure on ourselves during a launch phase isn't it? We focus so much on "doing" instead of "being" that we forget the purpose of it all.

So here I am...chilling in my bed, writing this post from my phone, because I don't have the energy to open my laptop.😅

Everything's gonna be fine. Everything's gonna be more than okay!

I'm probably writing this post for all of you going through a similar phase but feeling guilty of not doing enough. You are enough my friend! Be more compassionate with yourself:)

Have you faced this situation before? How have you dealt with it? Feel free to respond to the email! I respond to 111% of them!

P.S.: Brian and I are collaborating on a 2-hour workshop to transform your vision into an irresistible offer!! The workshop is this Saturday (Sunday my time) and it'd be an honour to have you inside!
