She looked into my ear. “Oh….” She recoiled with a quick smile.
Gulp….
“You’ve got an infection. It’s quite advanced. You’re going to have to go to a regular doctor and get anti-biotics. You can’t get on a plane until the infection is gone.”
Ugghhhh…..
So after 2 weeks, of creating all kinds of natural, healing concoctions, instead of flying to Canada, I’ve been camping in my bedroom for yet another week and taking dreaded antibiotics which I haven’t touched in a few decades.
Too tired to do any kind of work… Permission slip granted to retreat behind my cloak of invisibility and heal.
On the one hand, I have to admit it’s been a relief to chill on the visibility… Just binge watching Doc Marten and The Tudors til the cows come home!
But now as this third week progresses, not communicating is starting to feel uncomfortable and I’m starting to feel like I’m hiding and blocking my own energy flow.
Does that make sense? And guess what? I see that as a good sign, actually!
Can you differentiate between the feeling of conscious retreat to rejuvenate your energy and the feeling of hiding? Can you feel the visceral difference in your body?
Or it might just be an inkling of knowing– intuition. Or you may hear a voice guiding you.
However, you get the message– this is an important skill for highly sensitive-preneurs– knowing when to retreat and when to step out. It’s a delicate dance– pushing yourself too much always backfires but too much retreat turns into hiding, avoidance, delay, clogging, and impacts the flow of your business.
So here I am. I’m a few weeks behind on sharing part 3 of the Enheduana ancient marketing wisdom series. The video was shot weeks ago but it doesn’t quite capture the energy and essence of what I want to convey. (This is not a case of “Done is better than Perfect.”) And I’m not feeling well enough to reshoot it yet.
Plus I look like crap! So what do I do? Wait til I feel better to shoot a video?
No!
Visibility is not just about making videos!!
I’ve decided to be Visible in a way that I CAN be visible– in this moment!
Which is to share with you where I’m at – in this email. Simple as that. I’m choosing to relate to you even though my ear is still blocked and I don’t feel tickity boo! I don’t have to wait to feel like everything is amazing.
Otherwise it was starting to feel like I was holding myself back from you and let me tell you, I’m done with feeling suffocated by my own internalized straight-jacket! You dig?
AND
I’d like to show my appreciation for you for reading this and especially if you’ve read this far!
I am gifting you with my newly updated Super Streamlined Video Equipment List!
Lucky you if you’ve been wanting to expand and get a few extra gizmos that could really help you improve the quality of your videos while having more fun making your videos!
This is exactly the kind of list I would have loved when I was starting on my video journey. A super simple list made by a transformation-focused coach who makes videos that value authenticity over technical wizardry. A list that will support me getting my message out in the simplest and most funnest way!
I know when I was starting out, I got bedazzled by the bells and whistles in the videos made by some of the video coaches out there– especially since I have a filmmaking background!
But I’ve realized that bells and whistles don’t enhance connection, ultimately.
If you’re a highly sensitive-preneur, you value connecting with your tribe and transmitting your message in a way that truly reaches them so that they can be transformed. Am I right?
So you don’t need to spend lots of time figuring out :
- which pieces of equipment you need or
- how to use fancy equipment or
- how to say your message using the perfect words and memorizing or
- how to use a tele-prompter!
And you don’t have to spend a lot of MONEY!
Nope!
All you need are a few strategic basic pieces of equipment so that you can focus on CHANNELING your message, your energy, your magic! As a part of your tribe, we want to feel YOU and hear YOU and receive YOUR energy! All those other contraptions get in the way of YOU connecting with us and letting YOUR full essence out!
So in addition to this awesome Super Streamlined Video Equipment List! , I want to offer the first 5 people who comment below a FREE 15 minute “Video Gizmo Pow Wow” session to go over which gizmos are best for you and answer any questions you may have in using any of them!
I look forward to talking to you and catalyzing you to spread your valuable and important message that only YOU can share!
Thank you again for reading this!
Why?
Because I feel so much better now that I’ve shared with you where I’m at and offered you something I feel really good about!
It feels good to be Visible and share my gifts! And you being here today allows me to do that.
So, thank you!!!
Cheering you on in sharing yourself and your gifts and being VISIBLE!!!
Michelle
