What I will say, though, is that I am feeling so much happier and relaxed about things, and I do actually trust that the Universe will provide for me.
For example, my husband has bought a tent as he wants us to be able to go camping and to just go off somewhere on a whim. So we decided to go to the Isle of Wight (we love it there), and I said I would pay for the campsite. I didn't worry about it; I didn't fret about spending the money - I felt completely relaxed about it. It cost £83, and the next day I sold a typewriter on Etsy for £80. Thank you Universe!
It's bigger than this, but I like this photo!
Funnily enough, today is the first day I haven't had a sale on Etsy for weeks. I will trust that things will pick up again soon, and I may get a sale yet!
I am working hard on my businesses and feel really pleased with what I'm learning and accomplishing. In terms of the stress management, we haven't made any money yet, because we are still learning, but I feel that when we are finally ready to launch ourselves we will succeed brilliantly!
I have been given permission by a very well known and successful motivational speaker to use one of his videos in our training day, which I'm really pleased about. I have also been given a free copy of a book on launching your online business by the author and business coach Robin Waite which I am looking forward to reading - thanks Robin!
I am also buzzing with ideas for passive income etc, my energy levels are high and I'm happier than I've ever been. I'm so lucky to have started on this path to self discovery.
Last night my husband and I went to a party and he took my favourite bottle of wine from the fridge instead of the one I had bought to take to the party. I was really annoyed until I decided to let it go and enjoy the company and the evening. I'm pretty sure the old me would have been annoyed for a lot longer and much more viscerally than I was, and I'm really grateful for that. It is such a small thing, but I was looking forward to that wine tonight, and I don't know if the other will be as nice (I bought Chardonnay for the party, whereas I like Pinot Grigio). It sounds like a small thing, and it is, but things like that used to really irritate and frustrate me.
My husband is also more on board with this way of thinking too - because of the way I talk about it I think. He says 'When you are earning loads of money...' not 'If you are earning loads of money...' he plans to retire at 50. I don't!! I can't imagine not striving for something, creating something, earning money, being someone, helping people and making a difference. I will ensure I have time for my family though, I don't like the thought of being a workaholic or someone who never sees their children. That's not me.
We have also decided to get a cleaner!! I'm so excited by that; I really don't like cleaning and I feel my time is better spent elsewhere. I am actually surprised I haven't had one before, I could easily have afforded one when I was a teacher, and it would have been so helpful; but that was when I used to clutch my money tight to my chest and constantly feel that we didn't have any. I used to resist the idea of paying someone to do something I can do myself. Now I just think 'I deserve to relax at the weekend, instead of looking around the house and thinking 'gah! There's so much to do!!'
I have gone down to 3 clients in my private practice, 2 of which I feel fairly confident will come for a while yet and one of which I have yet to meet, so I don't know. I'm disappointed that I have had 4 others that only came once or twice, but that's part and parcel of the service we provide. It's to be expected really. Still, I am hopeful that the Universe will provide me with more before too long :-)
