THE FINE LINE BETWEEN “I NEED TO DO MORE” and

THE FINE LINE BETWEEN “I NEED TO DO MORE” and “I’M EXHAUSTED” WHEN YOU’RE SELF-EMPLOYED. It truly feels as ungraceful as me in this picture and is a big thing to navigate. Here are my thoughts on energy management for holistic business owners.⠀
⠀
The Battle between your Inner Boss and your Inner Employee: When you had a job, you had to show up whether your pet died or you stayed up too late working or scrolling. You showed up because you had external expectations to meet. You had a boss and colleagues. You had a transition to work- you drove/ got the train. You had a time you needed to be there and you knew the exact latest minute you could leave your house to make it on time.⠀
⠀
Now that you’re self-employed, none of that stuff is built in. YOU are the boss and YOU are the employee and so you have the inner drama of your inner boss and inner employee trying to negotiate. What time does work start today? What am I meant to be doing today? When is lunch? When do you need this task done by? I’m stuck. I’m tired. I’m bored. I can’t concentrate. I’m scared. I’m going through emotional waves of fear. All the things. Happening internally. #Drama!⠀
⠀
So what have I done since then to translate some of the beneficial elements of employment into self-employment? Have I gone back to a very exact timetable and structure like I had at school? No! My inner employee is too unruly for that despite the best efforts of my poor long-suffering inner manager!⠀
⠀
I’ve written a full blog post on this which I just cant fit in an Instagram post which only allows 2,200 characters per post. It’s a pain trying to fit big reflections and ideas into smaller posts and it takes half the day. I’m experimenting with allowing myself the space to write longer posts on my blog instead of trying to edit it to within an inch of it’s life for Instagram. ⠀
⠀
I’m going to send this full blog post out to my email list on Sunday. Join my email list via the link above. I hope you have a great day. ⠀
Do you resonate with the idea of an Inner Manager and an Inner Employee?? Comment below, I’d love to know.

Holistic Practitioners, I know how you "just want

Holistic Practitioners, I know how you "just want to help people" and I see how generous you give in your content, in your business, in your energy. BUT, unless you are a breatharian (person who lives off air instead of food!), you need to make sure you're also taking care of your bottom line.⠀
⠀
The phrase "Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook" is the title of a book by social media marketing guru Gary Vaynerchuck. It means Give, Give, Give, and then ask for the Sale. He said that most people are spending all their energy crafting sales messages and writing content that says "Buy my protein powder 25% off" and that leads their audience to tune out.⠀
⠀
I see the opposite with us holistic folk. We give, give, give and don't ask for the sale. We have blocks around mentioning our business and fear that "people will think I'm just in it for the money". ⠀
⠀
No. They won't think that. They know your heart. And that belief is something you need to work through yourself.⠀
⠀
Instead of thinking that selling is gross, you need to realise within yourself that by telling people about what you do and inviting them to book with you, amazing things can happen for that person: healing, wellbeing, balance, vibrance. Tune into that instead of your own discomfort.⠀
⠀
I think 80-20 is a good rule. So every 5th post, talk about your business in some way and have a call-to-action such as "Get in touch/ DM me if you have questions about it/ I've got 3 sessions available for next week" etc.⠀
⠀
On that note, I best do the same myself!! I've got one coaching session available this week and 2 next week. If anyone would like to book an Enquiry Session with me to see if my coaching is a fit for what you need support with. Non-salesy, just exploring "Is this the support I need or not?". DM me "Enquiry Session" and I'll send you more info.⠀
⠀
Go forth and sell, my pretties!⠀
Day 22 of #100DaysofContent

I'm such an extremist. An extremist who teaches and talks about balance and staying connected to yourself whilst trying to do 100 days of content when I usually post a few times a month. And in December, I posted 0 times! (I did do stories though)⠀
⠀
So in the interest of BALANCE and actually having space to process the growth that's coming as I move through the discomfort and blocks I've had around self-expression, I need to change my own rules for #100daysofContent.⠀
⠀
I'll write a post another day about what I've learned so far in doing this, but in short- I'm actually now enjoying the creative process of seeing what "comes to me" to post each day and just going with that. On the other hand, I've been posting too late and it's taken my evening headspace time leaving me tired and wired.⠀
⠀
So what are my new rules? I will continue my 100 days of content, but with weekends off cos that's more balanced and sustainable. (Thanks @dubyinyoga for your wisdom!)I also really want to make longer-term content such as youtube videos and blog posts which I'll send to my email list weekly. So that's my next focus.⠀
⠀
I'm going to ask on stories tomorrow for video and blog post ideas that you think would be helpful for holistic business owners in their first 2 years of business. ⠀
⠀
Content suggestions welcome in the comments below! And/ or advice on my 100 days of Content challenge. thanks!⠀
⠀
Day 21 of #100daysofContent

And it's the weekend. Will you give yourself time

And it's the weekend. Will you give yourself time this weekend to listen inwards? To hear yourself. To let the week settle in your system. To allow your subconscious time to process what's been going on.⠀
⠀
In the empty space, the insights come. When you're doing some cleaning, the brainwaves come. When you stop trying to figure things out, the clarity comes. Your inner voice is always trying to guide you, it just needs space to be heard. ⠀
⠀
Quiet. Slow. Less. Be. Space.⠀
⠀
When do your best insights come? Comment below.⠀

I have nothing to say today. So here's a photo that makes me laugh. From 2017 when I was doing a work exchange at Happy Buddha yoga retreat centre.

We lived at "The fun house" which was named such because it had previously been known as "The haunted house" lol. An old property, we cleaned it up and it really was fun.

I said I can't be in a photo cos I have a massive spot on my forehead. My 21 year old wild friend Bryce decided to backcomb my hair in order to distract from the spot. I think it worked!

A time I remember myself as feeljng light and free and simultaneously lost and scared.

It was the messy phase when one phase of your life ends and you have no idea what the next phase is going to look like. So you're stuck in this transition period. Limbo. You don't know who you are or what youre actually doing.

It feels gross and yet its natural. Now I understand it as winter. Stuff has died off. Alot is going on under the surface. And spring will come. And it will be beautiful. Winters are natural. There's no need for us to fight them. The stress comes from thinking you shouldn't be in winter. Every season is OK.

That's my ramblings for today. Big love to anyone navigating winter- emotionally or practically in snowy Ireland today.

Energy work, coaching, meditation, yoga, reiki can

Energy work, coaching, meditation, yoga, reiki can help everyone. Holistic work in general is simply bringing people back into connection with themselves, to their true nature, to being centred and in balance.⠀
⠀
And it’s true, that everyone could benefit from it. BUT from a business perspective, you need to narrow it in. ⠀
⠀
A few benefits to being more specific about who you help and with what: 1) you become really knowledgeable and confident in what you do 2) You will likely be more effective in what you do when working with similar patterns in people over time. 3) it's easy for you to talk about your business to others 4) it's easy for people to recommend your business 5) It's easy to know where to "find" people who are struggling with the problem you help with (aka marketing). ⠀
⠀
Lots of resistance can come up for people when choosing a niche/ a narrower focus for their business. It can feel like you're excluding people (but you're not, you're just being specific). There is also fear around picking the "wrong" niche" (instead- just see it as an experiment for 3 months- I'm going to trial this niche and I can change then- it feels like a big deal, but it's not. I see lots of people evolving their business all the time.)⠀
⠀
I really love working with people on their niche and clarifying who they help and how to communicate what they're about. It truly is the foundations for your business and once solid, it all gets much easier.⠀
⠀
You know where I am if you need help with it and want to have an enquiry call about working together. I usually send you questions to journal on in advance of our call about where you're at, your challenges and your vision and we simply talk through these things together to see if it's a fit between what you need help with and how I usually help people. All very relaxed. Also, I'll be teaching courses after March. ⠀

Your vision for what you want to create and bring

Your vision for what you want to create and bring into the world is unique to you. Your vision is a communication between you and your inner knowing. It comes to you through your intuition and it’s unique to you.⠀
⠀
While this vision is still forming, you may look around to see how others are doing your “thing”. It’s almost like searching externally for a visual cue of how it could look for you when you do it. To me, this feels like part of the creative process... checking what is already out there whilst in communication with my intuition. I think “Yes, I like that element of what she’s doing” and “No, I don’t like that element of what he’s doing”. It’s like filling in the gaps between my idea and how to actually do it.⠀
⠀
I often feel like the creative process within our businesses can be like baking a cake... there’s the idea, then there’s time when it’s forming and baking internally, then there’s the cake. The important part is to remember is that it’s your UNIQUE cake and you need to keep consulting your intuition, your inner guidance through the creation process.⠀
⠀
It’s a noisy world with lots of different drum beating. Observe them then tune out of them and listen to your own drumbeat: your rhythm, your expression, your path.⠀
⠀
Day 15 of #100daysofContent (it's getting easier!)

When I started my business, I spent so much time t

When I started my business, I spent so much time trying to see into the future, trying to see what my business would look like, trying to know how it would all work out before taking a single step. In Myers Briggs Personality typology, this was me using my Introverted Intuition function. This function is also known as "perspectives"... it's like running simulations in your mind of different possible scenarios. It's bigger picture thinking, understanding how one thing connects to another thing.⠀
⠀
What I now know is that, in leaning heavily on my "intuitive function", I was not using my "sensing function". *Stay with me while I explain the terminology! Intuition and Sensing are "cognitive functions" that we all have. It's like being left or right handed. We have 2 hands, but a preference or tendency to use one over the other.⠀
⠀
The sensing function, which I was not using enough, is the one that relates to using the 5 senses, experiencing life through the senses aka taking action and gaining experience! Can you think of someone in your life who is like this?⠀
⠀
Most holistic practitioners are stronger in intuition over sensing. The word holistic relates to "holism" which is defined as the belief that each thing is a whole that is more important than the parts that make it up. This is big picture, connection thinking - intuition. The stereotype of intuitives is spacey, airy-fairy, head in the clouds, artists, creatives etc.⠀
⠀
I wanted to post this to alert an awareness that if you notice your tendency is the philosophising, thinking, dreaming, then you may need to build strength in the opposite skills too- in doing, taking action, trying things without knowing how they are going to work out. Reducing the gap in the strength of one function over the other will help you to be more rounded and balanced.⠀
⠀
If you're curious about your personality "type", you can check out 16personalities .com. It's based on Carl Jung's work and it's been a huge tool in my self-awareness. If you know your type, post in the comments below! I'm INFJ.⠀

Day 12 of #100DaysofContent

Feeling reflective this evening. It's easy to get

Feeling reflective this evening. It's easy to get caught up in this crazy bubble of Instagram and business and learning more and doing more.

Its easy to go off track and chase false gods, illusions of success.

We don't see wisdom, morals, concentration and steadiness of mind modeled enough in our society. Instead we see kardashian type things.

Its hard to stay sane, grounded in what's truly important.

This poem is often attribted to Charlie Chaplin but his office said he didn't write it . He read it out at his 70th birthday.

This is the kind of stuff we need to be consuming more of. Real stuff about our humanness. Let universal truths be the messaging we are absorbing inspiring our choices in life.

As a society, I see we are hungry and searching for realness, for meaning, for connection to our true nature.

So I share this poem today for all who are striving to live a spiritual and material life in an integrated way .... wanting to have an impact, learn lessons, experience life whilst cultivating a deep connection to their inner guidance, to deeply understanding their human nature.

Wishing you every strength as you walk this path with awareness, wisdom, compassion and love. 💛 Ciara

Before client sessions, I always light a candle. I

Before client sessions, I always light a candle. I light the candle and think of my client. I say "May this session be for my client's highest good".⠀
⠀
In lighting the candle, I'm releasing attachment to how the session goes and I'm fully trusting that whatever comes up in the space between us, is the right thing for the client.⠀
⠀
I'm connecting in with my intuition and committing to deeply listening and hearing my client, whilst also listening for intuitive insights at the same time which can add to the angles and ideas we have in our conversation.⠀
⠀
Lighting the candle is a ritual that switches me out of Ciara mode and into coach mode. It transitions me from thinking about myself and my life and brings me into the present moment where I start to hold the space for my client's highest good.⠀
⠀
I am such a perfectionist and some times I used to go home from teaching at school and think of all the things I'd done badly... I used to have to say to myself "I did my best, I'll try again tomorrow, the kids all went home in one piece!".⠀
⠀
When I started coaching, I had the same pressure on myself... "What if the client doesn't get anything from the session?" I had to reel myself in and remind myself that I've gained from every single session of BEING coached by others. They weren't all brilliant (for me)... some I ended up crying during because they stressed me out so much (really not a good fit for me!)... but I still benefited from each and every coaching session. I grew, I learned, I had an experience.⠀
⠀
This way of thinking has helped me to trust that there will be benefit from whatever happens in a coaching session. It's an experience. It's growth. It's done with the right intention.⠀
⠀
I'm sharing this candle ritual as it may be of benefit to any newly qualified holistic therapists, healers, coaches or mindfulness teachers who may be reading this.⠀
⠀
Drop a candle emoji below if you think you'd like to include this in how your prepare before you see a client⠀

Day 10 of #100daysofContent

I have a 5 minute challenge for you today…. it's

I have a 5 minute challenge for you today.... it's actually so easy that you'll think it's stupid... until you do it and then you'll think it's great!⠀
⠀
So... the challenge is (drumroll)... to set a timer for 5 minutes & spend those 5 minutes ASKING FOR HELP. I know.. an underwhelming use of a drumroll.. but hear me out...⠀
⠀
Oftentimes when we are stuck, we're not fully sure why we are stuck. We kind of know the next step, but it feels massive or your mind is trying to figure out the step after that before it does the first step. Basically, your head is muddled with trying to figure things out- you don't know the landscape of the problem, you don't know what the factors are in your decision, you don't know what you don't know. ⠀
⠀
And that stops us from asking for help- because we don't actually know what we need to ask... you don't even know what to type into google! So... have a think for a moment about whatever open files are in your head that your mind is trying to figure out and jot down a few people in your network who you could have a chat to who might be able to fill in the blanks for you so you can get your head around the thing.⠀
⠀
Or maybe you know exactly what you would love help with but don't know who to ask for that help. Brainstorm who you know that might be able to recommend someone to you.⠀
⠀
Perhaps you're on a treadmill of doing it all yourself &haven't stepped back to think recently about how could things be easier. ⠀
⠀
Help could take the form of a friend to brainstorm with, an accountability buddy, someone to read over what you've written, some feedback about your website/ social media, conversations with ideal clients about their problems, referrals from past clients to their network, chatting with a tech-savy friend...⠀
⠀
Whatever it is, big or small, identify which help you think you need and then ASK FOR THE HELP!! If we spent 5 minutes a week doing this, we'd all spend alot less time lost and stuck AND we'd build a strong support system around us #vital-to-stay-sane-and-not-quit-business!⠀
⠀
If you could wave a magic wand right now, what help would you wish for? Comment below, you never know, someone might appear with the answer!

Happy Monday! Here's my favourite tool for product

Happy Monday! Here's my favourite tool for productivity at the moment.

Focusmate.com a co-working website. You can schedule a 50 minute work session with another human from anywhere in the world. You both say what you are going to work on, you mute and work, then at the end you check in together to say if you did what you said you would do.

Its free for 3 sessions a week (and then its 5 dollars a month). Not a promo, I just love it!

If you need momentum in the mornings, book a 9am slot for yourself the night before.

If you have a looong list of things you don't wanna do, book a session, turn on Spotify and see what you can get done in a 50 minute slot.

I love doing a few slots back to back with 10 minute breaks between. Gives a good flow.

This lockdown feels so long already. We are not having the external momentum that we used to have and instead are having to rely on inner drive instead. I am hearing from friends and clients alike how hard it is feel "motivated". There's no sense of time. It's easy to feel ungrounded and all over the place. Focusmate might be a handy tool to feel that momentum and concentration as it gives time pressure and a nice coworker to hold you accountable.

How are you finding working from home at the moment? Comment below (or an emoji to portray it!)

Day 8 of #100daysofcontent

I put a few new good phone habits into place since

I put a few new good phone habits into place since January. But they all went out the window this week with my first week of #100daysofcontent. I kept leaving it to the evening (like now!) to write posts and that was silly. It's like I took on "extra" stuff to do, but made no room in my calendar for it!⠀
⠀
All fine though, you live and learn (the hard way usually!) so this week, I'm making time earlier in the day to create content. I'm going to experiment with video because I'm kind of torturous with writing- I love it, but it takes alot of time. So I'm going to make my first Instagram reel (it won't be all bells and whistles, I'm literally thinking of just talking on it!) and I'll also make a video or two for YouTube.⠀

Why am I sharing this? Because I hear clients all the time saying they feel like there's something wrong with them that content takes so much effort. My attitude is that we just need to experiment and find what feels more easeful for us (whilst knowing at the start that probably none of them will feel easeful). If you are in your stride when speaking, do podcasts and videos. Do you prefer writing? short or long? social media, blog posts, articles.

The second reason I'm sharing this is because of the stark contrast I noticed in myself this week as a result of alot more phone usage. I had been feeling quite clear headed after my xmas meditation retreat and I started to feel very frazzled again. So anyway, after a big sleep, meditation and lots of pottering to decompress today, I've put back into place my good phone habits.⠀
⠀
1) I put my phone into greyscale mode via the accessibility-visibility settings which makes it less appealing 2) I'm leaving it by my desk and treating it like a landline (remember landlines?!) 3) My Samsung has a Digital Wellbeing app where I can press a button and it blocks the selection of apps I've pre-chosen. I've called the button "Non-fragmented mode" because I'm trying to build/repair the concentration of my mind. I'll be keeping the apps blocked most of the day apart from 1 hour a day for sharing, replying and scrolling (if I've any time left!).⠀
⠀
What works for you to stay in control of your phone usage?

~Day 6 of#100daysofContent

#FridayStoryTime⠀ Here's a tip. When someone ask

#FridayStoryTime⠀
Here's a tip. When someone asks you how your business is going, tell them a story of a recent client win.⠀
⠀
Stories help people to really hear the nuances of the transformation you provide in a richer way than your typical "i help __ people with ___ problem via ___ this solution" sentence.⠀
⠀
Stories are a simple way to make the intangible tangible (especially if you are doing something "weird" like healing, coaching or meditation-y!)⠀
⠀
Stories stick in people's minds and when they encounter someone with the same challenge as the client from your story, they will remember you as being someone who can help with that challenge and will spread the word for you.⠀
⠀
Stories make it easy for the essence of your work to be understood and for word of mouth to happen naturally.⠀
⠀
Now... implementation time! its all well and good reading this post, but can you think right now about a recent client win you feel delighted about?⠀
⠀
Tell us in the comments (go with whatever pops into your head!). We can read each others and maybe some word of mouth will start from there too!⠀
⠀
Ps how about telling a client win story (case study) in a post on your page?

Day 5 of#100daysofcontent

But WHY?? Because our operating system is non-line

But WHY?? Because our operating system is non-linear, it loves to think of the big picture and struggles with the day-to-day implementation. We have amazing ideas and find it hard to get stuff done. We can even find it hard to get stuff started because we have so many amazing ideas floating around.⠀
⠀
I know this struggle very well and see it in my clients all the time. We can often feel deficient, like we're failing & can spiral into worrying how we will ever make our business work. It can feel like a curse to have so many ideas and struggle with implementation! ⠀
⠀
And in my extensive research, there is no magic pill solution for this ailment. As you may already suspect, the solution is 1) structure and 2) effort to develop our underdeveloped implementation skills!⠀
⠀
1) Structure.... the very thing we can rebel against, and yet it provides a container for our creativity to take shape, for our business/ project to move forward, step-by-step. The way to navigate our aversion to structure, can be to have structure WITH FLEXIBILITY. But what does that look like? ⠀
⠀
It looks like knowing what you need to do each week, but being able to choose WHEN to do them. e.g. you plan to spend 4 hours this week creating visibility for your upcoming workshop (canva image, sponsor an ad, write some posts, record a video etc). You plan to spend 4 hours on Tuesday before lunch, but after 2 hours, you decide to move onto a different project. You do the other 2 hours the next day. Structure, but with flexibility, not rigidity.⠀
⠀
2) Developing your implementation and follow-through skills: As intuitives, we can spend alot of time in our heads- planning, dreaming, visualising. It's lovely! But to be balanced, we need to also bring our energy and attention down into our body, into our limbs and start DOING, start experimenting in real life. A question to ask yourself is "What physical evidence can be seen of the work I've been doing?"⠀
⠀
Wishing you a wonderful productive Friday. You've got this.⠀

Day 4 of #100daysofcontent

No joke. These are my 9 current notebooks I have

No joke. These are my 9 current notebooks I have on the go! Let me explain... ⠀
⠀
Some are for different "sections" of my life and business. They are mainly messy and I just write stuff as im listening to a client/ course im attending:⠀
⠀
1) coaching notes 2) web design im doing for two people right now 3) jungian pyschology and art therapy course im studying in Limerick IT at the mo 4) courses- this notebook was from the start your coaching business course in November 5) notes/ wisdom from meditation books and videos I watch/ study ⠀
⠀
Then there are my 4 favourites (it's ok to have favourites amongst your notebooks isn't it ?!).⠀
⠀
6) messy notes - for journaling my morning pages and sorting out my head when needed. I don't keep these notebooks. ⠀
⠀
7) Learning notebook: notes from whatever courses im taking, workshops i attend, audio books I listen to, YouTube videos i watch. I keep these notebooks. Its a combination of personal and business things im learning. E.g. myers briggs, funnels, time management, video editing notes etc.⠀
⠀
8) daily planner . Everyday I write my to do list with little boxes to the side so I can colour them in when I do stuff #truestory! ⠀
⠀
9) yearly/ weekly planner. I write my projects for each month and then for each week. Then I have a page per day view where each evening I reflect on my day in 2 columns - life and business.⠀
⠀
When the first lockdown was announced, everyone went panic buying.. I bought extra Roibos teabags, alot of vitamin c, and spare notebooks #survivalkit
⠀
Anyway, these "sections" help my head to not feel melted with spinning alot of different plates so i thought I would share.⠀
⠀
How many notebooks do you have? Comment below. Prizes for anyone with more than 9 !

Day 3 of 100daysofcontent

Your posts/ blog/ videos do not need to be amazing

Your posts/ blog/ videos do not need to be amazing with ground-breaking information that no one has ever heard before.... Take all that pressure off yourself cos "pressure is for tyres" (said in a pure Ah-low-in (Athlone) accent out of the side of your mouth)⠀
⠀
Instead of waiting until you know "enough" or are "ready", just share what you learn as you go along your journey. Indeed, all the stuff you wanna share or say has probably been said before and is freely available on google... so what's the point in sharing?⠀
⠀
1) Because we need to hear stuff more than once (drink more water/ stop scrolling!). 2) Because maybe someone needs to hear it that day 3) Because perhaps the way YOU express it will give someone a new perspective on the subject. 4) Because perhaps someone close to you will take it on board because it's coming from you.⠀
.⠀
But most importantly, for YOURSELF. For you to evolve and strengthen your voice. For you to organise your ideas and express them clearly. For you to become more confident that your voice has value.⠀
⠀
AND because your inner guidance is telling you to share. So just do what you're being told to do by your intuition. It's relentlessly trying to guide you in the right direction for you. So just do it, stop questioning and worrying, because if you don't take the first step, the next step can't fall into place.⠀
⠀
Contribute to the body of knowledge on the subjects that you feel passionate about. Be a contributor to the conversation, not a Guru.

Pop an emoji below if you've got stuff you wana share and put "out there". 🙌

I'm doing something mad. Well it's mad for me. I'm

I'm doing something mad. Well it's mad for me. I'm going to press "publish" on something everyday for 100 days... #100daysofcontent

So this is a shadowy photo of me today as I pondered this endeavour today whilst walking home from leaving car to get fixed.

Its shadowy with sunshine because I'm coming out my own way to putting stuff "out there". I'm just really sick of my own inner drama around posting, creating videos, writing blog posts, writing to my mailing list gang etc.

Like... I've alot i want to share that I know will be helpful to people. I know it will be helpful to me too- I know I will gain clarity myself as I organise my ideas and express them . I know the reason it feels like inner drama is because its an area for me to do my inner work on myself around confidence and visibility and all that stuff. I know the only way forward is to grow through it.

So here I am.
Announcing it.
At 9pm on day 1 lol

And here we go!
Day 1 of #100daysofcontent
Anyone want to join me?!! You're more than welcome
