Last week I sat down to plan my next telesummit.
I started to write out my ideas and web copy and I realized I was, pushing… pushing… pushing. It felt like I was pushing a rock up a hill.
My ideas weren’t “sparking”, you know?
And I believe that when the ideas aren’t sparking – you’re wasting your time.
It’s been a BIG year for me. I’ve had a huge relationship transition, I’ve moved, I’ve led 2 online training programs and my first retreat in Bali. In fact, the entire year has felt like one big TRANSITION… anyone else notice a lot of change?
With all the changes, I’ve had to learn to find my own grounding, a new footing. I’ve been learning about how to take care of my nervous system, how to listen to what it needs, when to slow down, when to breathe. I’ve learned that my yoga class is a life-saver, and that hot baths are crucial.
I’ve been learning to take care of myself better, because I’m becoming someone different. I’m becoming someone who can grow into my vision, and so are you.
Whether your changes look similar to mine or not, change is afoot. It is part of the great shift we’re experiencing. Spirit is training an army of lightworkers. And, you are among us. We are being prepared to serve in a new, big, expansive, graceful and heartfelt way.
In order for us to learn this new, more feminine way of showing up, we have to unlearn what wasn’t working. We have to unlearn old beliefs such as:
- Work is Hard
- We have to be ‘manic’ to get anything done
- Productivity equals Self Value.
- Numbers in the Bank Account reflect our Self Worth
- Building a business is a long slog up a steep hill
And the list goes on.
Why not adopt these new beliefs:
- I am a precious, courageous being who is here to serve
- My happiness matters more to me than ANYTHING
- I put my joy first and I know my business will follow
- Every idea comes with it’s own infinite supply
- I am willing to nourish myself into the inspiration for my business.
Because, when you’re inspired… ever notice that work just gets “done”, emails get sent or go away entirely, newsletters get written, web copy gets created, entire projects get put together in short amounts of time, and with seemingly little “effort”.
We can literally stretch time when we’re inspired.
So, why would I waste time trying to force myself to be inspired unless I absolutely had to? Therefore, here I am, not trying to write my web copy for my next telesummit. Here I am making a plan to truly rest and nourish myself back into a place of authentic, sparking inspiration for my next business project and quantum leap I will take.
Don’t forget to rest between the leaps.
And, rest within the leaps.
In fact, just for today, see how relaxed you can be while checking email.
See how truly relaxed your face can be as you’re working with your clients or doing the admin tasks for your business.
Ever notice that the light can shine into a relaxed body much more easily than a tense one?
Let your heart break open to yourself and your own goodness.
The cracks in your heart allow the light to shine in.
We’re here to love.
We’re here to bring the light.
Let LOVE and SOFTNESS be your primary “come from” place, today, and notice how that affects your business.
Thank you for being on this path with me
Thank you for sharing your light with the world.

Lovely and the timing is perfect. I have felt like I am not “doing” enough and this rest I am requiring was wrong. But I am letting in the joy and my heart if filling nicely. You are a blessing.
Thank you for this message Sage! It was EXACTLY what I needed to hear today!
Love & Miracles To You,
Maggie
Hi Page !!!
I love to read your mail and especially when you go into your Heart and allow to feel what is truly going on.I am recognizing that many time’s we don’t allow our true feeling to come out or we hide them from others fearing that we will be judged not being perfect ,or we don’t know how to manage our-self or we are not spiritual enough…so stay on course with your feelings and let them have a voice….go Page!!!!
This is the year of the big shift, before 2012!
thanks for the inspiring article Sage. I love the title! That’s how I refer to my SimplyHealed Practitoners -an “army” of light workers out in the world to help others. One of my assistants has been with me for a year, and just yesterday we were recounting all the amazing changes and growth in my business just in that short time. I can totally relate to what you wrote about changes. I love living in the flow, and thank you for reminding me to have Joy today while I meet the demands of a growing business!
Sage, LOVE the notions you bring up here. What I remind my clients (and myself…always learning, right?) is that we have no work if it isn’t coming from our heart, from our Trusted Source, from our inspired intuition. When we’re struggling for something, perhaps we need to just do the exact opposite.
As you suggest, come from a place of love and softness. So, that means you have to know what takes you to that place…for me, it’s a long hike or run, cooking a fresh dinner, meditating or taking a damned nap!
Make a list of these things and tack em up next to your to-do list….and when the to-do list gets blurry, see if the Maxin’ and relaxin’ list is in focus!
Because we do indeed have a huge gift and job to do as light workers….and we need to feel whole to get there!
Thanks so much for bringing this up, Sage!
Sage, thank you so much for this beautiful writing. It is obvious that you wrote us a message from your heart! I am passing this on to my friends (even the ones that aren’t entrepreneurs!). Love, Janelle
Hi Sage, I love that article and find it so inspiring. It hit me just at the right time.
“We can literally stretch time when we’re inspired.” I know this and yet it escapes me when I have timelines to be met. Thank you for your gentle, loving reminders.
Hi Sage,
This is good medicine for me today…humbling. Yes, I am committing to walk this walk, at least for the rest of the day…haha!
peace be with you,
Lev
Perfect message, Sage! I’m a Spirit-based coach and Akashic Records/Crystal Energy consultant, and just this morning while I was reading someone’s Records, I saw again the grid of Lightworkers spanning the earth. Sometimes it looked like bright girders in a viaduct giving our world a structure to hold all the Light coming in, and sometimes it looked like a network of people holding hands all across the world. Either way, it was like a Light circuit, and each one of us needs to keep holding the Light that we can in these dense times and not break that circuit. Thanks for supporting the “army” (is there a less martial metaphor we could use? “Divine tidal wave,” maybe?) with your Light and your wisdom!
Love your Spirit!
Hi Sage – I am very resonate with everything that you are sharing. I love that you share what is really happening with you. It is wonderful to experience your journey and see what reminders/shifts that I need along the way too. Thank you.
Love & Blessings,
Dan
Beautiful truth. As we all step into this kind of evolving, hybrid business building that is still rife with traps of the old paradigm, we need to be reminded that everything sustainable and world-changing will come from our making own self-love and nurturing the foundation.
Sage,
What the perfect message for me today. Thanks so much for following your inspiration and writing this instead of working on your telesummit! The title totally drew me in and I knew I had to read it…..and I’m so glad I did.
It’s such a powerful post! And every word of it is so true! Lots of things to think about and integrate more fully into my life this week!
I particularly like your list of new beliefs and your teachings on relaxation.
Thanks for sharing your inspired words. Have a blessed day!
Kristin
I absolutely love this article, Sage. Thank you for the way you remind us so gently yet with so much clarity and direction. I feel so inspired to remember that softness in my everyday life.
A beautiful, heartfelt post. Thank you.
I think I’ll go kayaking now.
Sage,
Just what I needed to hear today.
Thank you. Just need to remember that we everything we do is a choice and we can choose to stop doing the things that no longer serve us. I have enjoyed following your journey.
Just want to say Thank You Sage for your heartfelt support–can’t let such spirit go unacknowledged. You obvioulsy now how hard it is to stay inspired in the ‘new beliefs’ and to let the old patterns die a natural death.
Thanks Sage,
This came at just the right time. I “know” this but forget every day and need to hear it again. I especially love “rest within the leaps and between the leaps”.
Much Love,
~ Dakota
Sage, this whole post is beautiful! So much food for thought, and so much truth. Hopefully one day, it will be less “work” to operate this way because going with the flow of society will include just this, and not the hurried, frenetic, get-as-much-done-as-possible crazy-making way of today.
Just what i needed…. wow thank u Sage. I delete most emails that try and sell me something – but yours are all heart and I eagerly read them. Thanks again for being so true, and when the time is right I look forward to ur new telesummit.
Thank you Sage! I’d been planning a 7-week, deep healing telecourse, but when I sat down to plan and create it, the sparkle just wasn’t there. I stepped back completely and realised it wasn’t the right time, and I had to let it go for a few months. As soon as I did that, a new idea burst in, full of life, colour and sparkle…and I am SO excited about facilitating it. It’s not even going to be work – just total fun! It was so great to read this post and know I’m doing the right thing – putting my joy first and knowing that out of that comes the highest service and benefit for others as I share my true light. Look forward to your next event, it’s going to be magical : )
With love & sparkles

Hi Sage,
I so often ignore the tons of messages in my inbox, but today I was led to take a moment to read yours, and I was instantly captivated. Thank you for so elegantly capturing this importance of self-care and self-nurturing as we bring the light to others. Many blessings, fellow trailblazer!
Sage, what a refreshing ‘organic tonic’ to detoxify from the ‘if-you-are-not-thinking-and-doing-at-warp-speed’ mindset of an era that is becoming a vision in the rear view mirror (thank goodness). In setting the example in such a transparent and forthcoming way, you are leading by example into a more conscious, joyful way of being and living your purpose. Thank you! Dawn
Sage,
What you shared today in your blog was one of the most powerful things I have read in a long time. It was amazing to see the struggles and light in words. I was able to organize and see my own struggles which just needed to be. Needed to be…Needed to be released so that the light could be. Thank you for sharing. Blessings!
Wow Sage, short and to the point inspiration! I love it. Interesting, putting the words ‘army’ and ‘lightworkers’ together give me a whole new meaning to the word ‘army’. Love it.
Thank You! Was feeling overwhelmed by how much needs to get done to get organized and start my business – and not allowing myself the rest that my body has been needing. Your message is helping me rearrange my priorities. Blessings.
That you for the reminder to rest between leaps. I tend to feel guilt when doing this but it is so important, the leaps I (we) are doing a huge quantum leaps and rest is a requirement not just to be able to resume again but to also find additional inspiration internally, which I only find when I give myself the time to listen between my thoughts. xxoo
Thank you, Sage! You are always an inspiration!!!
