30 in 30 in 30 Challenge
How the Feminine/Masculine Energies Inspired My Challenge to Write 30 Daily Posts in 30 Minutes for 30 Days.
I have 30 minutes to write this post! That’s my challenge every day for the next 30 days. Would you like to join me in committing to do something for the next 30 days? We can be 30 in 30 buddies!
How this idea came about… I was listening to one of my mentors this week, Amanda-Lee Attar and she spoke about the feminine and masculine energies. I’ve been feeling more into this concept lately, mainly because of Amanda-Lee and her husband Philip. I’ve not heard anyone talk about these energies as they do. I’ve also been researching and studying to hold women’s circles and again the feminine/masculine topic came up. So what brought me to this idea of committing to 30 daily posts written in 30 minutes for 30 days was Amanda-Lee sharing her experiences as she’s been very much in her feminine energy. She discussed having to adopt a balance between the two as when you’re purely in feminine and receiving mode, you’re passive and allow things to happen. Bringing in the masculine energy to commit to certain actions is what will make things happen.
I know, sounds like common sense… right? but how often do we KNOW something, but don’t truly REALISE it? plus I’ve been so heavily in my masculine for such a long time with being an independent mama and business owner, I didn’t even recognise it.
Over the last few years, I’ve had to learn to let go and surrender so much control because of my world falling apart, mental health issues, fibromyalgia, debilitating fatigue and of course, we all had to surrender when we were in lockdowns. Having my son has helped me learn to go with the flow, when you’re in the special needs world, you cannot force.
With all of this, I’ve had to surrender control and flow and receive. I’ve tried to be bullish when I’ve felt a bit better only to be kicked up the backside and put back into bed rest for days or weeks with Fibromyalgia. This has been a process of YEARS to finally be well again. It’s been so hard at times, but worth it to feel on the other side. Of course, I’m still cautious.
So back to my decision to do this challenge…. when Amanda-Lee said “commit” it triggered something in me and I realised that I hadn’t fully committed to what I wanted. I was trying to market my book, self-publish new ones, restart my coaching business, create a course, figure out social media, business strategies, start women’s circles, and so much more. I was so split…
But what do I really want to do?
I want to make a positive impact in the world with writing and publishing.
Simple… so how to get started with that? Commit to it… how? write every day and find my voice and message.
That came from a conversation with a friend earlier this week, she told me to write, just write and it’ll figure itself out. She’s right. I have so much knowledge inside of me to share, but I have no idea what to say because, to me, it’s so innate in my life that it seems so obvious… why would anyone want to read about the obvious?
How funny! when I can say that we all KNOW things, but we don’t REALISE them and that realisation can come from anywhere. The beauty of the ripple that we put out from every little thing we do.
I’ve not committed to anything for so long because every time I did, my health would stop me. So I decided I’m committing to writing for 30 minutes a day to publish, no matter how “good or bad” it is, how imperfect or how short it is. I can do this… it’s my dream to be a writer and live a peace and joy filled life while travelling and writing and meeting amazing everyday people.
To put it simply…. I’ve decided to start living my dream.
