The Confessions of a Solopreneur
Hi there!
Why, oh why am I finding it so difficult to write regularly in my blog?
As soon as I write these thoughts I immediately know the answer and it's the same answer to the question that's about to follow: why do I find it so difficult to get myself 'out there' and let people know what I'm doing? It's all tied up with thinking I have to be perfect, fear of being seen and caring too much about what other people will think of me. I also worry whether people will think what I'm doing is too - well ... woo woo!
At the end of the day, I realise I don't have to be clever or hide but just be authentic and true to myself. When I'm being that - I'm happy. When my lovely blog was being developed I thought - there's no stopping me now. But procrastination choked me because of my refusal to step into my own power and be the person I am meant to be.
When I try to emulate others or measure what I do against what they are doing - of course again, I feel miserable. When I just think about how much I love to help and heal people I know what I've been put on this planet for, then I am naturally in my flow.
Five years ago this would have been inconceivable. The wounded person that I was then bears no relation to the person I am now. I've worked hard and purposefully - drawn forward not through my own will but from some inner propulsion that won't allow me to hide or stay quiet any longer. I am called to share my gifts with others otherwise why would I have them?.
Although I still continue to work with individuals in any walk of life, my main focus is on educational personnel of every type: teachers, managers and administrative staff. Teachers are bombarded from all sides and their emotional, mental and physical health is often forfeited at the altar of educational change. The pressure on education is immense and we need to be fit and healthy in mind, body and spirit so that we can nurture ourselves and those whose lives we touch.
So, Julia, what gifts have you developed?
Well - I have the power to heal emotions, feelings, habits and fears at a distance or remotely and this has beneficial effects on people's health. Over the last four years I've been working with individuals from all over the world by phone and face-to-face.
So, is what I'm doing too woo woo for teachers? Well, let me put it this way... the people who will be naturally drawn to connecting with me will probably already have a sense that our dependence on external change will not cut it. They may also have come to the conclusion that there isn't any such thing as external change anyway and want to work in a wholistic way on themselves.
So go ahead and read some testimonials about me on this blog or on my website www.teachersindistress.com. I will divulge more about how I work and share information about a pilot course I'm starting with a group of teachers in November in my next blog. Promise!!
Love
Julia
