I feel a shift...

I am experiencing a new feeling that I can't quite describe because it is the first time I'm experiencing it. In the past, trying to stand up a "side business" and become an entrepreneur always felt like a struggle. I was swimming upstream and had little hope because it felt like I was not gaining traction.
In some ways, I still have no traction. I have not had any new LifeWave signups this year despite planting many seeds. But I am undeterred. In fact, I am more hopeful now than I have ever been. This is the part I cannot explain. I feel confident that I'm on the right path. I am upbeat and not forcing myself to branch out and try different experiments. I am getting myself out there, and it feels comfortable instead of awkward. There's flow instead of force.
What has caused this shift? My best guess is mindset. I have been tinkering under the hood with my beliefs and understanding how I operate. I'm putting the pieces together from a variety of sources, and I'm getting clear on my future self. Maybe it was the book Be Your Future Self Now by Benjamin P. Hardy (which I recommended to @haideralmosawi). Whatever is happening, I'm not going to get too meta with it. I'm liking going with the flow.

There’s flow instead of force.
Wow, this is nice!

I’ve had a recent shift in mindset, too, as it relates to my dream life. For me, a big part of it has to do with being clear on my ideal life, focusing on what I can accomplish in the next ~4 months (by 1 September, the month I go back to work), and celebrating the momentum I’m experiencing with my habits.
Thank you for the recommendation!
