THE HEART IS NOT WOO-WOO
When I'm coaching, I'm very interested to move someone out of their thinking brain and into their Heart.
Why? Because I witness over and over that successful entrepreneurs access an intelligence seemingly out of nowhere - without thought - to make decisions that lead directly to the goals they're after.
IN a sense, they seem to just know what to do - without analyzing or reading about it or talking about it for weeks and weeks - whilst everyone else is scrambling for data and proof before coming to the same decision.
This is the power of the Heart in motion - as well as our spiritual sides and our gut instincts.
From a Chinese Medicine perspective, the Heart is where we can access and receive clear hits of truth and guidance.
This intelligence allows us to have a direct path to instant epiphanies, decisions, and answers on what to do.
As you can see, conversations about the Heart are NOT woo-woo. Or soft.
Your physical and energetic heart is literally one of the most badass parts in your body!
We know that the brain is a record of the past. Which is why we should NOT be using the brain/mind to chart our way forward.
To chart your way forward, it's time to move down into your interior, into the Heart.
In Episode 7 I share that in Chinese Medicine, every organ in our body has an associated emotion with it.
When client's have anxiety, I know it's associated to their stomach.
When I find that myself or others aren't waking up lit up and excited by their life and the work they do, I go to the issues of the Heart.
In Chinese Medicine the emotion of the heart isn't love, it's JOY.
And in today's society, joy seems to be an elusive and absent feeling for many of us.
We go about our day with little to no real joy. We lack enjoyment. We don't feel our heart is in our work. We do things out of duty or responsibility and cut ourselves off from the energy of the Heart.
In essence, we close our hearts in favor of safety, security, fear, whatever.
I'm here to tell you: your Heart knows exactly what will bring you joy and enjoyment and enthusiasm in your work and life. Your heart has very clear guidance on the next-right-step to take towards bringing that ideal into reality.
And in Episode 7, I talk more about how to access it.

Your heart is your power center because working and living in your JOY is what is going to spark your greatest successes, accomplishments, and be the seat of all your fulfillment.
I know this because I enjoy every single day of my life. When I don't, I listen to my heart and I pivot.
If you're ready to have your Heart in everything you do -- start with today.
Email me at tracey@livlitceo.com and let me know what you'd be doing today (or in the near future) if you allowed your Heart - and not your head - to guide and lead.
Thank you for your precious time in joining me this morning and I'll see you on the podcast this week -- and via email next Saturday.
