We had the good fortune of connecting with Anisa Pierson and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Anisa, how has your perspective on work-life balance evolved over time?
Balance is key to the flow of anyone’s life. Without balance you feel uneasy, weighed down, burnt out, and can carry way more on your shoulders than you need to or should.
Over time, my balance has changed greatly! As someone who always feels that there’s plenty to do and accomplish – having big dreams at a young age – I often would find myself doing too many things at once. Balance allows for organization which brings in more peace into your life as well. To go from always FEELING the need to work and using my time wisely, to disciplining myself and reminding self that it is okay to save something for the next day and to spread things out.
Being as ambitious as (since a young age), I often times was hard on myself when I was not putting in some sort of work. That’s a huge thing that causes an imbalance too. The feeling of always needing to work and when you’re not working, feeling bad or being hard on oneself is not a feeling ANYONE should have.
We must learn to embrace the need for balance to allow energies to flow harmoniously. It’s as if someone who goes to the gym every day only works on their arms and not their legs too – your body will feel imbalanced, you’d be putting your all into your arms neglecting your legs or any other part of the body. It is necessary to nourish ALL parts of your being and that starts by not putting so much weight on one side of your life. Allow yourself to return to balance within self and within your journey.
What should our readers know about your business?
I See my business, “Your Soul Awaits” as a Spiritual Practice that encompasses many different paths of spirituality. What sets Your Soul Awaits apart from all the others is the way I intertwine the many avenues of spirituality into my art, my work, my creations. My gift of reading energies is not mundane, it is very detailed, analytical, and esoteric.
Everything starts with YOU! I am where I am today because I chose ME. I didn’t choose what others wanted or wished for me, I chose MYSELF and followed the beat to my own drum. Nothing in life is truly “easy” when it comes to a business, however, I don’t see anything as “hard” either…It’s all a challenge – another level for you to endure and to rise above from with knowledge, insights, and guidance.
I’ve always been very business oriented. I have memories of playing as if I worked in an office setting and was my own boss when I was a kid. I’ve actually worked in corporate, in Healthcare, in Pharmacy and fulfilled many roles and helped several companies on a foundational scale. When it came time for me to start and run my own business it was not difficult because I was already prepared.
Everything in life is always preparing you for the next chapter. You just have to see it in that way. Your perspective in this life is everything.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
One place I would eagerly show a close friend or Soul family visiting the area would be the Botanical Gardens around the area. Especially the Japanese garden downtown. Seeing the beauty of nature and all of its creations would be my first stop. I would take them to eat at more upscale restaurants yet also a nice smaller business as well because we all know that’s really where the great food, customer service, and love is really at. There’s a place called WILD that really stood out to me.
Fun Interesting places and food establishments would all depend based on my friends likes. I connect with many people that are vegans or plant based.
Taking time out to enjoy the water scenery would too be nice! A nice trip to San Antonio to Fiesta Texas would definitely be on the top of my list!
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I Personally want to give a shout-out to all of my naysayers, to those who didn’t believe in me, doubted me and projected their fears and insecurities on to me and my journey. It’s truly amazing how you can transmute these energies to your benefit – highly recommended!
I also would like to give a shout-out to anyone that has personally booked a service with me, especially my returning clients/patients. To those who leave their honest feedback, and provide me with genuine confirmations that I am indeed on the right path in my life journey.
Lastly, I would like to give a shout-out to ALL of my supporters! To the people that support me through a multitude of ways such as sharing my content & engaging with it.
