HI FRIENDS!
Get a drink and take a sit because it’s Story Time! 📕😂
I’ve been absent and inconsistent here for more than two months, and I was beating myself up for not being consistent, for not “showing up”…
Then from the battles in my head between: “Go reply to messages. Go plan your content. Go post about your work.” VS “Take the time to rest. Enjoy the moment. Get back to messages when you have time and capacity. “ I had a big epiphany:
The world doesn’t stop, people don’t hate me, and I still can get work if I don’t post on Instagram, and the pressure and stress I was feeling were created by me, NO ONE ELSE. Everything was coming from that familiar fear of not being ENOUGH!
And from that thought, another realisation came: Not being enough is the bottom line for 90% of my clients, WTF, how I’m not “cured” yet!
😳
Ugh, it got really ugly… I cried, I doubted myself, I called myself a fraud, I blamed the Mercury Retrograde….done it all!
You must be thinking now: Wow, that sounds bad. And you are a therapist?
Yes! All the above is THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE! We will get into traps like the above many times! But what changes when you do the work to better yourself (with therapy or not) is how fast you can switch from the p**p space to a thriving space!
And being a therapist doesn’t make me bulletproof to the human experience, to feel all the feelings and break down once in a while.
So this post is to tell you (and remind me)to:
🌼 Be kind to yourself even if you realised you put yourself through hell
🌼 That all the work you’ve done will show up and be validated when things are dark, way more than when things are bright & shine
🌼 You are enough. YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH!
🌼 That social media for business is not the enemy and only do it if you have fun, if not, pay someone to do it 😂
🌼 Enjoy being present in real life, with real people first (and then share that IG story 😉)
Cheers 🥂
