Ease up to glow up ✨

Lately I've been thinking a lot about PRESSURE.

Specifically, about how much the dominant (white, patriarchal, capitalist, ableist) culture loves it.

Performance pressure. Time pressure. Social pressure.

Perhaps it's because I've spent a good year addressing chronic headaches -

like, pressure in my actual head -

that I've become far more circumspect about the effects of pressure in our life and work.

As a parent, I see that pressure fuels stress and anxiety in my kids.

As a mentor of new coaches, I see that pressure inhibits curiosity.

As a working person, I’ve watched capitalist pressure push all the heart and talent out of an organization.

As a coach, I see just how much and many pressure(s), internal and external, my extraordinary clients are dealing with everyday.

And as me, myself, I see that it's NOT pressure that helps me be my best.

Rather: it's e a s e .

I don't push and grind my way into my best work.

I relax and trust my way into it.

This means I opt out of deadlines, and the time pressure they create.

I unsubscribe to setting financial goals, and the performance pressure they apply.

I no longer allow pressures to push me,

because I'm so much more powerful when I go where desire pulls me.

More and more and more,

I trust that the most easeful approach -

the way that feels spacious and light and free -

will be most fruitful.

As I look around

at my everyday life / my relationships / my clientele / my bank account,

all signs point to the generative power of ease.

There's plenty more where all this bounty comes from,

and I can help you relax into yours.

Just let me know when you're ready to stop pushing.

love,

Natalie
