It's not you; It's me?

Is it them...or is it Me?

When things are quiet, when the sales aren’t rushing in, when the DMs are slow…our inner dialogue can get pretty wild.
Am I posting enough?
Do I sound ok?
Do people think I’m smart?
Is my content helpful?
Am I good enough?
Am I...enough?

You scramble to throw together some content, make a post, pop your face on the internet to remind everyone you exist. 

You share your morning coffee to try and act calm and confident when inside you feel anxious and overwhelmed. You post a fluffy to-do list while clenching your jaw and hoping it makes you look in-demand. You talk about that ‘secret project’ you’ve been working on to remind them, and you, that you have a plan even though you feel lost. 

Then you feel all the insecurities rushing in and wonder - do they know?
Have they figured me out?

Those negative and unhelpful thoughts multiply exponentially when we let them run wild in our minds. The more you think about it, the more you feel about it, react impulsively, feel anxious, and send out an energy of desperation and despair.  

You rush to create promotions, launches and offers to try and get the ball rolling. You throw together emails, try to get engagement in stories, and let those emotions and thoughts push you into action and pretend it’s motivation, not desperation, without ever stepping back and thinking it through.

When we can take a step back and look at ourselves, our thoughts, feelings, reactions and behaviours, we open up an opportunity to truly see how we are holding ourselves back. 

When the inner critique starts - stop. 
Pause. 
Breathe.
Observe.
What thoughts are running through my head?
Are they true?
Helpful?
Who would I be if I just let this thought go?

You CAN choose to let go of the thoughts that aren’t serving you and take hold of new, more balanced thoughts. 
You CAN calm your energy, feel more confident, and embody that magnetic, irresistible CEO you dream of becoming IF you can just stop.

Posting for the sake of postinG

Rather than sticking to a routine of constantly and impulsive sharing every piece of content you think might be helpful as soon as it comes into your mind fueled by scarcity, insecurity and desperation - stop. 
Pause.
Breathe.
Observe.

What thoughts are running through my head?
Are they true?
Helpful?
Who would I be if I just let this thought go?

Let the dust settle. 
When your emotions have calmed, and your mind is quiet, come back to the content and ask yourself honestly: 
Is this content strategically aligned with my long-term goals and strategy?
Is this content about making me feel better or about my readers?
Is this content truly what my reader NEEDS to see or learn at this moment?
Is there a benefit to taking a step back and looking at the big picture before rushing into action?

Social media is powerful. 
It influences us.

When we get caught up in the noise and that desperate energy that holds us attached and addicted, we can get lost.

So how do we find ourselves again?
How do we step out from the noise?

How do we reclaim our boundaries and our confidence to use its power without getting sucked in?
How do we embody the magnetic energy that naturally attracts dream clients?

These five simple steps have helped me find balance and hold firm boundaries while still getting the most out of my social media marketing.

1. Plan.
​
Having a long-term content plan will help SO MUCH because you can step back and relax with your core pieces planned out. You can take the pressure off and post without trying to sell, teach or be anything because you are covered. You can make social media fun - just play!

2. Automate.
Not having to physically open social media apps for a few days is SOOO NICE! Yes, it can be tempting to pull out the phone and scroll, but once you get used to not needing to be online all the time, it gets easier and easier to only go online when you feel called to do so.


​3. Pause. 

Before going online to post or share, pause. Reflect on how you feel, what’s going on in your mind, and what your intention is behind going online?  

4. Meditation.
I have been meditating consistently for over ten years, and I only recently realized how helpful meditation is to prepare for creating and sharing. It allows me to become the observer of my thoughts and feelings without judgement and find my calm. I have made it a ritual before copywriting for clients or myself that I spend at least 10 minutes meditating before I begin. I highly recommend giving it a shot!

5. Fun & Dance.
My favourite part of my creative process is that every 25 minutes, I take a short dance/play break. Yep. I crank the tunes and dance around my house to bring back the spontaneity, creativity and FUN to the creative process. 
When we can pause and reflect on our energy before creating and sharing online, we can tap into a magnetic and empowering energy that helps transform any piece of content into a marketing masterpiece. 

It takes practice, but over time you’ll be able to tap into your magnetic and empowering energy and share online with authenticity, from a place of inner knowing instead of fear.
