Lita, Goddess Of Growth (00:01)
Hi there, welcome back to the Empowerment Diaries, Lita goddess of growth here and I’ve been having a bit of brain freeze, it’s amazing how many times I do a podcast in my mind and I think yep this is what I’m going to talk about and it’s really flowing and I decide this is how it’s going to work, although when I sit in front of the camera as much as I will have my prompts to the side I do seem to lose the thread at times, but I’m back.

and I’m reflecting in this little podcast about the power of pause because life forces us at times does it not to stop and it’s in that stopping that we do our healing our transformation and we grow.

and this is not about what others can see and often we cannot even see it all we feel at times is the stagnation sometimes the block trepidation anger angst frustration ⁓

after we look at it and we realize what was going on sometimes many many moons later.

but there is a power in pause, is there not? Whether we choose to do so or whether the universe settles us down. Some of us don’t listen to the signs of pause, so we end up causing some kind of health issue, financial issue, something that prevents us from moving forward.

But I suppose the greatest pause or the easiest one is one where we’re prompted to pause and we take our hands off the brakes. Yeah, allow that pause to happen for life to naturally slow down, take our breaks, even acknowledge the setbacks as maybe blessings more so than denial.

because those are the very thing that can push us much further than all the actions that we’re doing to progress in life. It’s hard, especially when we want change to happen yesterday. We’ve been on a journey of struggle and survival. Is it not my time today? When the universe says not yet.

and all you want is now. Am I forgotten? Is it ever going to happen?

and then it’s almost like the pot starts boiling the slightest thing irritates as progress is not happening as fast as we need it to it’s not yet this is not the time as we get closer we still understand this is not the time it can be difficult at this critical time to trust the process it’s easy to say trust the process

even when we don’t know exactly what the process is or where it will lead us. Trust the process. Trust the process. Have patience. And whilst we’re doing it, to be aware that we’re here to be our best champion, our support and to support others also.

but to support others without taking on their angst and their burdens. Being in a position to respect ourselves and make sure that we have boundaries. Boundaries for ourselves and for others, making sure that we’re all doing the work to grow, to support ourselves.

to support each other, making sure that we’re elevating, we’re not encouraging people down, we’re helping others as we are rising up ourselves. Emotional boundaries, physical boundaries, energy, tapping into energy and being fluid with it, even in the midst of uncertainty. Making sure

not only that we have boundaries but that we only share with those that are in the best position to be there for us. Often we share with others that have little intention of raising our spirits and you know the difference there are some that will be with you just for communication.

It’s now the time to connect with others on a journey, acknowledge they’re on a journey. Some might call it a spiritual journey. Not everyone has the ability to have a conversation with us that focuses on elevation, even in the down times.

We need to make sure that to ourselves we speak life and to each other we speak life in good and bad times. At the same time we do need to be in environments that allow us to feel what we feel. Environments where we can talk openly, feel.

and share how we feel openly without others taking offense or seeing it as a personal attack. Others that have true faith.

and for me true faith is understanding up and down times is all part of the equation it’s not either or it’s not a case of if you have faith everything will be perfect and great no but faith in the grand design that in this life we’re going to have up times we’re going to have down times and there are some people on the surface that will never have really great times or really bad times

We don’t know what the inner journey is, do we?

So this is just a short reminder that

is okay as frustrating as it can be at times especially when you’ve got bills to pay especially when you want to get a relationship matter resolved whether it be something from the past or in the present especially when you are focused on work when you want to be focused on whatever it is whilst you’re building business you’re making money in other ways and you have to split your time there’s many a day I wake up

and all I want to do is my business but I need to make money that I’m sure is coming in so I have to focus on that first before I can spend time building my business and I do find it really frustrating. I’d love to have a day when I can just wake up and just do my business. However the pause is the refining what the business is.

tapping into why you’re doing something. Is it for joy? What is it for? What’s going to keep you going? What’s motivating you?

So thank you so much for listening to this mini podcast. This is about pause, embracing the pause. The power of pause is all about tapping within. And I wish I knew what pause meant.

The many times I’ve been on my own for many a year actually that’s been my life experience, my own life experience has been one of many cycles falling, getting up, falling, getting up. That’s my life in the UK.

Time and season is about where we live you know, but there’s no running away from your time and season when it’s time for you to relocate if it’s your time to relocate you will right when it’s your season to do so. Reflect on your pause even if you don’t know why you are pausing right now.

and I’m hoping I too will get to a position where a pause is something that I sit and cherish and celebrate. This last pause, my Pluto square Pluto has not been an easy pause at all. In fact I’ve worked more hours than I’ve worked in my life before for next to nothing actually.

and the universe is saying it’s not about hours and time it’s about quality not quantity we’re narrowing down there’s no get-rich-quick schemes there’s no fast routes to visibility building a network like everything that one needs to do we will do thoughtfully intentionally with heart soul

So I am here, power of pause, do tap in. What does pause mean to you? I’d love to have your comments, do comment on the podcast. I’d love to see some community comments. And if you have a story that you would like to share, tap in also. Thanks for being here. You’ve been listening to Lita Goddess of Growth today. Have a good one.
