Working Intuitively to Transform Your Life

In this blog, Danielle talks about how working intuitively can transform your life. Danielle shares a story about a friend who struggled to find a schedule that suited her after starting self-employment. She felt guilty for not feeling creative or productive during the traditional 9-5 workday and kept pushing herself to work through it. After sharing that Danielle works around her energy, it sparked a conversation that helped her friend understand it's okay to create a schedule that is guilt free and decide to work when she has the energy.

Danielle explains that working intuitively means listening to your body, mind, and emotions. Intuition is the ability to understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning. When we work intuitively, we can make better decisions, find creative solutions, and navigate challenging situations based on our values and who we are.

Danielle outlines some of the benefits of working intuitively, including greater creativity, innovation, and better decision-making. She shares studies that show how frequent and abrupt context shifting can lead to decreased productivity, increased stress, and cognitive fatigue. Danielle explains that listening to your intuition uses the right side of your brain, which is also the creative artistic side of the brain.

Overall, this episode encourages listeners to work intuitively and work around their energy to avoid burnout and be more productive.

Stop Doing These 3 Habits

Toxic productivity is the idea that people must be productive all the time, no matter what. It is the belief that one's worth is solely based on their productivity levels, and that they must always be doing something. This mentality leads to overworking, burnout, and even physical and mental health problems. My clients STRUGGLE with taking rest days, they’re filled with guilt when they take time off, get sick, or take time off to go experience something new. If you struggle with this kind of mentality, this is for you. You are not alone, there are so many other creatives and entrepreneurs that go through the same thing.

Over Achiever Much?

I’m Danielle and I’m a recovering over achiever. I struggle with feeling like I’m never doing “enough” which is real fun when you’re on maternity leave or a mom trying to balance all of the things.

However, rather than thinking about what we achieve on an hour to hour basis, or day to day basis, I like to think about what I accomplish on a month to month basis. This allows me to set my short term goals as monthly goals, and my long term goals can be broken up into quarterly goals.
