Do you practice what you preach?

No one’s perfect. I’m not. I believe the best way to learn something is to teach it. And even the best teachers need reminders and refresher courses.

So don’t beat yourself up if you don’t practice what you preach.

You’ve seen it – doctors who smoke, writers who don’t write, parents who lie, yoga teachers who don’t practice, chefs who don’t eat well, etc. What about you?

Awareness is the first step.

Take this as an opportunity to reflect on whether it’s your teaching or your practicing that needs re-alignment. It could be that you’ve outgrown a previous belief or way.

As for me, I’ve been so busy teaching others how to ignite their intuition and light up their life that I’ve let go of my sacred morning connection routine of yoga, dancing, and chanting. Instead, I jump right onto the computer and start going through my endless to-do list. Then, I get exhausted and turn on Netflix.

Oops.

I should know better, right?! Well, I’m human. It happens.

So, this past week, I decided to try something different. I stayed in bed a little longer to do some of the guided meditations I’ve offered you here on my site.

Wow! What a difference it’s making to my days. Not only do I get to connect to my team of Divine Helpers and raise my vibration, I’m getting all sorts of celestial gifts, messages, and inspiration.

One of the messages I got loud and clear during one of these meditations is that “It doesn’t pay to work TOO hard”.  Yet there’s so much to do to run a business. Being a single entrepreneur can be daunting.

If I don’t practice what I preach though, I won’t be giving my attention and investing my energy in the right tasks. I’ll also burn out, which doesn’t serve anyone.

It’s so easy to keep busy and work too hard on things that don’t lead to where you want to go. Can you relate?

So – enough of that! I need to connect to my Higher Self and Source first thing on a daily basis, even when I’m not doing it for clients!

What’s it going to be for you? Do you still believe in what you’re teaching? If yes, are you practicing it?
