What if we created more “ta-da!!” moments in our businesses and lives?
You know, like the exclamation point at the end of a magician’s amazing magic trick when we all proceed to “oooh” and “ahhh” over the amazing trick they just pulled off.
“Ta-Da!”
Imagine how life and business would look if we created our own “ta-da!” moments every day?
“I just posted on my personal page! TA-DA!!”
“I just booked a sales call! TA-DA!!”
“I just added one more amazing human to my Facebook group! TA-DA!!”
I know, I know, it sounds ridiculous, but hear me out…
One morning this week I woke up at 3 am, thanks to Henry Melvin licking my nose asking to go outside after eating something that disagreed with him.
Grrrrrrr…
I wiped off the covers and walked downstairs…
and I started to get that overwhelmed feeling.
“Well, I guess I’m up!”
Ugh.
“Why does everything seem so important and urgent at 3am!?”
“No, I’m going back to sleep!!”
After tossing and turning, I relented.
I sat in meditation at 4:30 am.
I wrote in my journal.
I wrote “ta-da!”
I wrote “Laughter”.
“Ok, got it.”
It was then that I realized both had been missing the last couple of weeks.
Both have been essential elements to my resilience and business growth, so without them, I stall emotionally and physically.
Whenever I find laughter I know I’m on the right path.
Creating “ta-da!” moments is easy when we’re able to laugh; to find the lightness in a situation.
I learned this lesson first in the hospital with my son who was born with a rare muscle disease.
Laughter was our best medicine.
We created movie-trailer videos with our little guy as the star, always dressed in some ridiculous outfit!
We had a literal pool party in his NICU room. (Our room was THE place to be!)
We formed a bucket list checking off ridiculous activities, creating memories that would last a lifetime.
While I didn’t realize it then, creating those “ta-da!” moments during the long, difficult days in the NICU has been the biggest game changer in how I parent, who I am in my business, and how I show up with my clients.
We have fun. I have fun.
We laugh at ourselves when taking ourselves too seriously isn’t working.
And so when I feel overwhelmed…
My first antidote is to find the lightness.
Make “ta-da!” moments out of the mundane.
Find the fun.
Creating laughter and “ta-da!” in your business will get you through the tough times too.
How can you anchor lightness and laughter into your journey?
