You don't have to be everything you told yourself you had to be. You don't have to try so hard that it hurts. You can go easier on yourself...
Have you ever diligently posted every day on social media? Are you wishing that was you? Or are you glad that it's not?
Whichever way you go when it comes to being visible, today's episode is for you.
When I first left corporate and started out as a solopreneur, I was extraordinarily consistent when it came to posting online and showing up. I would dedicate Sunday evening to batching content for the week using a scheduler.
Don’t get me wrong, this is fantastic if it works for you. The problem comes when these tasks stop being enjoyable and start being a chore and this is exactly what happened for me – as my inspiration waned, so did my consistency.
Interestingly, at that same time I was starting to get into reels on Instagram. Instead of posting every day, I leaned into my inspiration and enjoyment and, a couple of times a week, created some reels of my own. And you know what? My following continued to grow.
It taught me a very valuable lesson – you can break the rules. You can give yourself a break.
You can always work harder, turn up more often, produce more content - but what would it take for you to get there and would the energy be off? It's so much about energy and the intention behind what you put out – that’s how it gets received by your audience.
So, as the end of summer draws near, remember to give yourself a break.
