Have you ever gone on an incredible trip or spiritual retreat, only to come back feeling exhausted from so much growth and emotional journeying?
After getting back from a two-week European trip, I was hit with a major case of the post-travel blues.
Not only because I fully stepped into the me that I was becoming during the epic VIP MasterMind in London that I ran for a few premium GFY members.
But because being away and having a few things go ‘wrong’, really made me see where I still hold on to ideas that I ‘should’ do things a certain way. This felt suffocating and I knew I want to shed another layer of perfectionism.
I may also have a mild case of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) so I’ve been willing to trade ease for excitement. This trip made me realize how bonkers this was.
By the time I was crying into my husband’s arms in Barcelona after feeling exhausted and depleted, I knew something had to shift.
At times of contrast, I love to remind myself that I attract what I need, not what I want. So it was the perfect trip, just not the one I expected.
Certainly I will do things very differently in the future when I combine working, traveling with my husband and seeing lots of friends in a short trip.
As I’ve been integrating all the realizations and clarity I had, it became clear that there is a big opportunity for me to let go of things in my business and life that used to feel right, but now feel out of alignment.
Because I’m interested in living at a new level of ease, inspiration and flow. And continuing to up the ante on how aligned, free, inutive, inspired, creative and playful I can be in my every day life (and not just on a kid-free vacation in sexy Ibiza!).
So in some ways I’m Quitting My Business again, which can’t be a surprise since I’ve already admitted that I’m a Serial Quitter, haha!
Watch the video below to hear what big news I have about my business, to see my new LanaTV set and reflect on where in your life you can give yourself permission to shift toward more simplicity, inspiration and ease.
Once you’ve had a chance to watch, I’d love to know:
Does travel always bring you clarity? And who is your muse? Who and what inspires you to keep making changes to continuously improve your business and life?
This is a big question to reflect on and I hope you’ll take some time today to ponder which things in your life served you in the summer of your life and not in the winter of your life (as Wayne Dyer used to say).
I’m excited about the big news that I’m closing the Get Full of Yourself Membership until December, and only opening doors a few times a year going forward. Because that feels much more EXCITING and EASE-FUL for me and my team.
Can’t wait to read your comments about what you’re ready to shift in your life in the comments below!
With all my love,
Lana
I love your energy and how authentically expressed you are!!! Love watching you Lana and I am grateful to know you!
Thank you so much Alionka! I feel the same way when I connect with you!
Heyy Lana. U are looking so fit here for some reason and gorgeous as always! I knw what u mean by travelling blues. The weird feeling u get when ur abroad and u miss home and once ur back home u end up the holiday! Sometimes a stay home holiday serves me the best! About your closing down: the present courses will all still b available yes so that means I will have loads of time to catch up in the next 2 months. Due to work I have been so lagging behind ! I am so looking fwd to that plus I am sure u will have even further revamped GFY to a whole new level in ur next intake! Btwwww I see E squared abd The Alchemist on ur shelf haha my fav booksss! Loads of love , SAnaa
Hey Sanaa, thanks for noticing that I’ve been getting even more lean and toned – I’m using all the alignment techniques to enjoy a more and more radiant body and health each year! 😉 Yes, the Alchemist is maybe my all time favorite book.
And of course you’ll still have the GFY membership – everything will keep going as is for existing members. Only the new members will now be able to start a few times a year (instead of anytime), which means that they’ll all be doing the Foundation Course together. So please invite your friends and tell them what you love about the GFY when the doors open in December!
Hi Lana
Thank you for sharing and inspiring. Your message knocked me off my rut. I am currently on a break to GFY and miles away from home. It is a fabulous trip with old friends, new experiences and away from family feeling undeserving. I will attend a personal power workshop with Bo Eason. Scary exciting to get over myself in midlife changes/challenges. All good.
I get and have experienced mostly all you have kindly shared in thia video… I closed my long time physical health and fitness club this year. Wanted to for years. My new biz is a work in progress and I finally nailed my audience/my tribe. I Am here comtemplating my best self Muse today. One of my frustrations with myself and biz is feeling I have to repeat anything I lovingly create for it to become a noose. I realized recently that I am an internal renegade with classic good girl persona. I have you on my must work with people before 2015 closes. You are truthful and energized. Namaste. This could have been longer….sitting by the ocean in cali and looking and listening to its ever changing sounds. Shifted again my mindset for next chapter. Pressing Go.
Thank you so much for sharing yourself! I have been feeling this so strongly for myself. Oct 1st I kicked off a 8-week group class and since then I have noticed myself in a bit of the “blues”. Since the launch I have taken a step back from my business. I have been indulging in time with high vibrational friends and doing the things that light me up – and last week the most magical things happened – my boyfriend and I attracted a NEW RENT HOUSE! EEEEE. We weren’t even looking – and it is everything we wanted/ needed. This week I have been packing & tomorrow we are moving furniture. I still am integrating but I feel my muse coming back to life – and I can’t wait to set up my new office and play! <3
Congratulations Lynsey!!! The power of alignment never ceases to surprise me! Super excited for your new home and a more playful life!!
Lana, I had a little time this morning and watched your video “Travel Blues, Finding Your Muse…”, took a shower, and when I came out, I realized my world suddenly shifted!!
Things have been rough with the death of a loved one, inviting my sister-in-law into our home because of suicidal issues, and the hovering question whether my husband was going to keep his current job or will have to find a new one. For a long time I felt the winds were changing and transition was all around me…and in the midst of that, I’m practically drowning in a project that has kept me away from my normal life and routine. I was stressed and jittery when I woke this morning and I was still ruminating on the real idea that we are going to have to leave this wonderful neighborhood, friends and school that we have all adored. But I watched that video and it gave me a perspective that allowed me to look from above at my life and realizations kept coming.
I’m OK with moving! Yes, we always thought this was an ideal place to live, near the ocean, fantastic schools, yadayada, but I think I was mimicking what others were saying around me. Yes, this a wonderful place and we’re lucky to have lived here-but I’ve ALWAYS had that thought in the back of mind…”so when are we going to move?”. I fit my family, my person into this life around me, but it wasn’t resonating to me. I’m bored. I need a change!
The second AHA was more when I regarded the person who is constantly trying to make people happy and saying “yes” to everything. She is so frazzeled, the house is a wreck, and she still has a marathon of things to do. I wanted to console her. Remind her that she doesn’t have to do what she thinks other people want. She’s so extremely talented and hard-working, but doing it endlessly for others is not serving her. She deserves more.
And that more is exactly what you were mentioning about balancing the discipline side with the fun creative side. I’ve always wanted to do new things and travel more, and when I create this nest of things I think I’m “supposed” to do, it hinders my fun side! So I QUIT too!! My heart longs for more freedom—freedom to do things because they’re fun and freedom to just take a walk outside and fully enjoy what’s around me.
So thank you, thank you! That video was so wonderful to watch, that even though I’ve not been consistent about this group, it reminded me of why I’m here. To align and become that higher self that I know is out there!!
Sheryll, I’m SO glad that the video post this morning was so helpful in catalyzing all these ideas! Love that you are recognizing that you want more adventure, fun and freedom – as soon as I recognized that it’s in my power to give that to myself my world forever changed. And certainly that doesn’t mean that we all of a sudden eschew stability and ease – we can have it all. Not always perfectly (and certainly not what others would think is ‘perfect’), but as we create our own custom tailored life, we are truly living on purpose.
I was listening to the Elizabeth Gilbert (author) being interviewed on a podcast and she said that the best life advice she received was: “What are you willing to give up to become the you that you want?” And she explained and said that she had to learn to say no (and it was hard at first because people were disappointed and not used to it) in order to say yes to the woman that she knew she wanted to be. Sounds like you are doing the same.
Thanks for sharing this post, made my day!
Lana, your positivity and energy beams off the screen, and I’m sooo in love with you! Congratulations on a great mastermind, and can I just say, I love GFY and honoured to be part of it! Onwards! X
Thank you, FayAnn!! So glad you are a part of the amazing GFY membership community!!
