Not a consolation prize. The whole gift.
We just wrapped up our time with “She Knows What’s Worth Fighting For.” The energy of purposeful provocation. Of knowing which fights are worth picking and picking them with clarity and courage.
Today, we move into something that has a completely different feeling to it.
Meet the She Starts Things energy.
I love this one. I love it because I know so many women who carry this energy and have spent years feeling uneasy and guilty about it. Like something was wrong with them. Like they should be different than they are.
She Starts Things.
Not She Finishes Things. Not She Sees Everything Through. She Starts Things.
That is not a consolation prize name. That is the whole gift of this energy.
Here is the voice of this energy. You may recognize yourself immediately.
“I feel the pressure to start another project, even though I have four more that I need to finish.”
Yes. That is She Starts Things energy. The pressure to begin. The pull toward what is new and possible and has not yet been complicated by the messy middle. The genuine excitement of a fresh start that is real and alive.
This energy is wired to see opportunities. To look at the world and notice what could be started, what could be initiated, what could be set into motion. Most people walk past possibilities without seeing them. If you have consistent access to this energy, you can’t NOT see them. You see them everywhere.
And this energy wants to begin them all.
The tension is that beginning and completing are two very different things. And the She Starts Things energy is brilliantly designed for one of them.
That is not a flaw. That is a design feature that gets misunderstood as a personal failing. And that is exactly what we are going to spend this whole cycle talking about.
In our next chat, we meet the Miss Cranky Pants version of She Starts Things. And she is carrying a lot of guilt about a lot of unfinished things.
I wouldn’t miss it. I hope you don’t!
Find your happy. Love what you do. Make a difference. Come back to me safely. See ya!
