Our Soul Song is composed of
the things in our life that are
integral to who we are as a per-
son. These are the things that
have to be happening in our life
no matter what else is going on
around us. I call these things the
Non-Negotiables of life.
Each of these non-negotiables
represents a note of our Soul
Song. For me, these include my
family, being physically active,
daily interaction with dragons
and my Spirit guides, being in
nature, mentoring, and so on.
Think about your favorite song.
One of mine right now is Some-
thing Wild by Lindsey Stirling.
She plays a stunning violin in
this song. It gets me up and
dancing and drumming on my
desk every time I listen to it.
But what happens if she were
to miss a note or even play the
wrong notes in part or all of the
song? The whole thing would feel
very discordant and I certainly
wouldn’t be up and dancing to
the music.
Listening to these discordant
notes is what happens when we
work on our business.
When we are working in our
business, it is filled with ease,
joy, and clarity. It is like closing
our eyes and listening to our
favorite music, getting lost in the
sounds and emotions. It brings
a smile to our face and dancing
into our spirits. This is what
happens when we weave our Soul
Song into our business.
One of my favorite ways to
empower clients in identifying
the notes of their Soul Song is
to have them write in a journal.
At the end of the day, take some
time to reflect. Write down the
things that made you smile, the
things that had you sitting back
and taking a deep breath, the
things that made you want to
yell Yes! to the world. Also write
down the things that you didn’t
like. The things that made you
feel frustrated, crummy, or just
plain mad. For me I identify
these as the things that leave that
yucky feeling in the pit of my
stomach. Every day you journal,
you are gathering information
about your Soul Song. Your own
notes and those sneaky discor-
dant notes.
When we weave the notes of our
Soul Song into our business it
feels like coming home. There is
a clarity, focus, ease, and joy that
is magic.
This is how it feels when we are
working in our business. Like
coming home.
