Don’t Micromanage the Magic!

What if your business is like doing laundry?
Stay with me.
When you do laundry, you sort the clothes, load the machine, add detergent—and then?
You walk away.
You don't hover, worried the soap won't reach every shirt. You don't open the lid every 5 minutes to check if it's clean enough. You trust the machine to do its part.
What if Life worked the same way?
What if you're not meant to micromanage every moment—but instead, to listen for your role… act on what's truly yours to do… and then let Life do the rest?
That's not how most of us operate. Most of us:
Question ourselves constantly: “Did I do enough? Should I do more?”
Push ourselves into more action: “I could send one more invite, so I should.”
Or collapse in overwhelm or confusion, telling ourselves: “It's too hard. I don't have the energy.”
Let's be clear: Action is required.
Just like laundry needs clothes, detergent, water, and a power source—your business needs creativity, commitment, and action.
But how much? That's the deeper inquiry.
And the only way to access that answer is to listen beyond the conditioned self… and into the quiet space of Presence.
In your business right now, what is enough?
Enough action?
Enough income?
Enough outreach?
Enough rest?
And maybe even more important:
Who is the one answering?
If it's the voice of your conditioned self, the answers will likely carry a certain flavor—one rooted in fear, scarcity, force, or illusion.
But if you slow down…
If you drop in and soften…
If you ask from the deeper space of truth…
You'll hear something quieter. Wiser. More attuned.
Maybe you don't need more right now.
Maybe it's actually time to step back.
Or… maybe you do need more right now—and it's time to open to your creativity, listen, and act on what you discover.
The truth is: there's no one-size-fits-all approach to “doing” in your business.
Some seasons require more effort—like launching a new offer, or birthing a creative project.
Other seasons ask you to pause. Breathe. Let the rinse cycle complete.
So today, I invite you to check in with your own “laundry cycle”:
Have you been overdoing, micromanaging the wash? What would pulling back look like?
Or have you been underdoing, waiting for fresh clothes while the basket sits untouched? What would it look like to engage with a little more energy?
Let this metaphor marinate.
Let yourself play with the idea that Life is doing the heavy lifting.
Because the truth is—it is. We just don't always see it clearly, clouded by the noise of our personal thinking.
You don't need to carry the weight of your business all by yourself.
You just need to know what's truly yours to do—and then let Life take care of the rest.
With loving,
Amber
