Giving Yourself Permission for More - Solo with Nat

In this episode, @natcaronphoto is on the mic solo and sharing how to give yourself permission. Reflecting on a conversation with an Instagram for Business client, Nat gives a real life example of how giving yourself permission to let go of “what you think” you should be doing, frees you up to do what you want to be doing. And giving yourself permission is how you’re going to love being on Instagram again.

Giving yourself permission for more, especially when it comes to creating content, means you can show up for yourself, your clients, and your family. When you are creating loads of content on a consistent basis that’s when burnout happens. Being proactive, and intentional, starts with giving yourself permission to: hire out, take a break, walk away from Instagram for a day or two, do what lights you up & outsource what doesn’t, and make things easier by creating systems.

Some simple strategies you can start to implement are outsourcing tasks that are taking up your time and energy. Some examples being a photographer for stock photos, VA, OBM, copywriter, or an assistant. Take a break from social media. Take two or three days away so you can come back refreshed and excited to engage. Make things easier on yourself by putting systems in place. Such as using an online platform to create better social media captions, using stock images, scheduling content, and creating saved replies in your Instagram DMs. Systems give you a sense of calm that you have things covered and will make your day easier.

Check out episode 83 with Jordan Gill from @systemssavedme The conversation opened up a whole thought process for @angela.s.doyon and @natcaronphoto and how they should be putting more systems in place. In fact, Ang & Nat batched out content for the entire summer, saving a ton of time and energy. 

What do you think? What systems can implement that would give you a sense of calm and focus?
