I announced in my 14th Jan blog post I will be taking a break in 2022 , it is almost one month , let me share how it’s been.

The agenda of my break was ‘Agenda-less Contribution’ . Give , Give , Give my gifts.

Don’t sell , don’t chase , go with the flow.

What comes , comes , what I don’t like , stop doing , let go.

Lot of my readers asked me to keep sharing how it goes , only a few were convinced I will stick , I too had my apprehensions .

Here is what happened.

1. Let go of fear ; When I get into states of anxiety again , the survival mode , I observe , and let go of Fear .

I remind myself, what is there to be afraid of , I have been taken care of till now , will be taken care of in the future.

A trust returns.

In the process I have been able to be more honest and speak my mind freely. Follow my heart.

The tussle continues, I observe when anxiety returns, let go and get back to the fearless state.

It’s slowly getting into auto pilot.

2. Business is flowing ; this is contradictory, I have not reached out but I have added new clients and some great ones .

I am not pitching or selling any longer I operate from let me see what can I give , how can I contribute without an agenda .

My expectation is not about getting the order but about genuine care and can I contribute my gifts.

And I am absolutely ok not getting the business, but it has come nevertheless.

I am ok with that too.

3. I have let go : One client who was with us wanted to pause . I just blessed and was happy to let go.

That client is now a friend for life.

And immediately another set of new clients stepped in , without any effort !

This was so amazing to observe, I had no stress in letting go and it created space for something new to emerge.

As if the universe was working on a plan.

4. Getting out of comfort zones : I had been pushing this for long , but somehow I got the energy to finish and my second book is ready to publish.

The 1% Club , is based on my experience of having worked with business and social sector leaders closely and coaching founders for over 30 years now.

This again is flowing from agenda-less contribution .

As if the universe is guiding me to a plan.

I have begun building Story Culture a community of storytellers in business. Again the idea is contributing my gifts as a storyteller with as many as I can.

(You can join the community on http://www.storyculture.in )

What is the biggest shift ?

I feel more free now than I ever did .

The burden of the past and the future has been dropped.

The stress of reaching somewhere is gone.

The stress of holding on is gone .

The anxiety of what will happen ‘if’ , is observed when it comes and let go.

I continue to party and have fun, cycle and enjoy life.

It’s just the first month of agenda less contribution. I can say that the big take away till now is as follows.

“Who cares , let’s have some fun !.

It’s a fun journey, going with the flow for now.
