Hi Clare, congratulations on your graduation! One thing I recommend is only seeing clients two days per week. If you can include an early evening on one of those days there is rarely an issue. The second thing I recommend is to give yourself permission to focus on one thing at a time. Last - if you don’t see your homeopathy already for support with peri menopause, that might be good to consider. Good luck with everything, it sounds like you’re doing brilliantly. ✨
Thanks Tracy for another fabulous newsletter. I'm grateful for the introduction to Bookshop.org as I've been trying to use Amazon less - I've now moved my wishlist over and placed an order! It might sound strange but my self-care always slips in the summer holidays. Ironically when there's no routine I find it harder to fit in the things that keep me grounded - meditation, morning pages and walking are usually my anchors. I've also recently discovered tapping which is incredibly helpful in the moment of intense emotion, and like you I have regular homeopathy and osteopathy for maintenance. The pillars of self-care you've listed will really help me get back on track and enhance my routines from September. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you Claire. I found this book incredibly useful, and I love Bookshop - happy to have introduced you to it. Warmest wishes for your practice this September.
Hi Tracy. Thanks for this newsletter - I always read them but this one really resonated with me. Self care is something I've been working on recently (just completed a 12 week course with a friend who does Reiki & EFT which was really helpful). I'm planning to continue the work I started along with working on building up my practice (qualified last year and was on your RBS earlier this year). The pillars are really good and a lot of them I'm already doing/planning to do - its always good to have a structure to follow to make sure you're covering all areas. Personal accountability is a tricky area for me (I do have regular homeopathy & osteopathy as maintenance) but definitely something to work on. Thanks as always for sharing your thoughts x
Hi Carolyn, thanks so much for leaving a message - it’s great to hear hope you’re doing! I don’t know if you use a bullet journal - if so, try including some self-care goals in your monthly plan. Not too many, just one or two you feel you can safely tick. ☺️ Best of luck with all your practice-building. 💫
Having qualified in June and working hard to set up my new practice I have noticed that as I am seeing more patients I am beginning to feel depleted. My overall energy is dipping and my mind feels slow. I'm finding it really hard to focus on practice matters, writing blogs, newsletters and coming up with effective advertising material. I'm also in the throws of peri menopause which doesn't help so now looking at supplements to assist this along with yoga and cycling.
