Why Rules Are Meant to Be Broken

  "...you not only have a right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn By Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life

     It's been a rough week.  I've felt rocked by a series of astrological squares, oppositional angles between planets that produce disharmony. Squares can bring to awareness the conflict of trying to reconcile opposing forces. Add to this a full moon lunar eclipse that brought fullness to fears and emotions.... and oh my -- what a combination!

     In the presence of a supportive group of women today, I finally got to the bottom of what has dried up my creativity and flattened my energy. It was the conflict created by following rules that don't fit me.  When someone with more experience in a particular area offers me a helpful "rule," my own rule is to follow it.  This is especially true for me when it comes to business rules that dictate and govern business actions.  Clearly following these rules was not working for me!

     When rules don't feel right and don't produce results, its easy to go to the place of "what is wrong with me?"  When rules don't work for us, it doesn't mean there is something wrong with us or something wrong with the rule. It means the rule is simply not compatible with our unique way of being in the world - our unique energy patterns. This incompatibility creates disharmony instead of harmony in our energy, and that blocks creativity and the flow of ideas -- which is bad for business! What works for one person simply may not work for another.

     So here are my "rules."  Feel free to break them:

• Rules are only guidelines or suggestions. 
• Rules should never be substituted for your own intuition. Even if someone has more expertise than you do in a particular area, you are the expert of YOU!
• If following a rule makes you feel tense, low energy or anxious, throw it out.
• If following a rule makes you feel relaxed, expansive or joyful, keep it. 
• The best rules are unique and made up by the individual, for the highest good of the individual.
