Amelia Kirk Coaching

I've been a little quiet on here for a variety of reasons.
Firstly lots of changes are happening for me and I am excited to share more about this in the next few weeks.
Secondly I was away for a long weekend to finally celebrate my 30th birthday, 18 months later!

I used to never make plans on a Sunday afternoon/evening or if I was away for the weekend I'd want to make sure that I was back relatively early so I could still prep my food for the week and feel really organised.

I still believe in planning and organisation but it's having the flexibility and fluidity to make it work for you.

Yes put your boundaries in place and protect your energy but also make sure you say yes to those experiences that are going to fill you with joy.

This weekend was one of those weekends!
We spent time with my family in Leeds and then went onto the Black Swan in Oldstead for the most amazing 10 course tasting menu.
This picture is from the very last course, an Apple Marigold Tart.
I think you can see how happy I am!

I've really noticed my spark come back these last few weeks, I hadn't really noticed it was gone, but I'm definitely noticing it's back.
If you've noticed something similar for yourself make sure you pay attention to what has brought that spark back for you and find ways to increase it!
I've been paying attention to what has helped me feel more joyful and I am going to be making some big changes off the back of those realisations!

What makes you happy?

Keep asking yourself.

Keep questioning.

Stay curious.

This weekend was wonderful, I was tired after a full on week on top of adjusting to a new and ever changing schedule but I truly switched off this weekend.

For the first time in a long time I gave myself the space to really look at the bigger picture.

I’ve been really taking the time to think about

☺️what makes me happy?
☺️what doesn’t make me happy?
☺️what are my non negotiables?

I now feel content, excited and really happy about some changes I’m going to be making, won’t be sharing anything yet though 🤐

My lovely weekend was spent at on Saturday starting with a horribly hard class at then a breathwork session in the breath hub, some yoga and a talk.

The only photo I took was in the breath hub, always a sign of a good time!

Then Sunday I respected my energy and said no to some plans so I could feel rested for the week so Sunday was spent exploring a new local nature reserve we forgot to put Dobby in her jumper so she got a little lost in the leaves!

Hands up if you struggle with this???
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know I do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even though I am someone who is very good at resting, I have noticed my worth in my business has sometimes been dependant on my busyness!
Anyone else??
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So please take this as your reminder for the weekend ahead
You do not need to fill every moment
You do not need to be busy
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can stay in your pyjamas all day and still be worthwhile
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So with that in mind what are your plans for the weekend ahead??
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Oh and final call for anyone wanting to grab a sale price SOS or ASAP package - deal ends on Sunday!

PS This quote is from a book I read…but I read a lot of books and can’t remember which one. If you know please tell me so I can give appropriate credit!!

Is it really outside of your control?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's really easy to fall into the trap of feeling like all the things that are causing your overwhelm are outside of your control but there is so much that you can do to impact the overwhelm you experience.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the first things that it is really important to get your ahead around is that you can impact your overwhelm.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So much is within your control.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes your boss might overwork you and you might have issues going on at home and you might feel constantly pulled in different directions, but there is still so much you can impact.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you make that shift and decide to believe you can impact your overwhelm you will start to notice opportunities to change how you are feeling.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This last year has been a rollercoaster for us all with lockdown after lockdown and the goalposts constantly changing.
But do you know what can be constant?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your commitment to yourself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your commitment to change.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your commitment to overcome overwhelm.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember for the rest of this week you can get your hands on my Overcome the Overwhelm SOS and ASAP packages for 20% off!
Drop me a DM with the word SALE and we can have a chat!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Is your gratitude practice going a little stale?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are 3 ways you can change it up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first two are inspired by the amazing Christine Carter and her incredible book The Sweet Spot that we discussed in book club back in the Summer.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She talks about so many different ways to include gratitude practice in your life and to truly understand why it is so valuable.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If our positive to negative feelings are over a 3:1 ratio we are likely to describe ourselves as happy but when it drops below this we are not.
So how can you boost the ratio, cultivate more positive feelings.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And gratitude my friends, is a positive feeling!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also people who practice gratitude are generally 25% happier!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gratitude is an amazing tool and definitely something I recommend putting into your toolbox and writing in your overwhelm table as part of your overwhelm tracker.
If you haven't already make sure you head to the link in my bio to download your FREE overwhelm tracker today.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’m having a sale!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have never done a sale, I've done intro offers but I've never discounted something after its launch but I wanted to gift you all a 20% discount on my Overcome the Overwhelm SOS and ASAP packages.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can get your hands on a discounted package up to and including the 14th November to ensure I can complete all packages prior to my Christmas break!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The end of the year is fast approaching which can be an overwhelming time for many.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There's the holidays to plan and prepare for
The work tasks that all need to be completed before Christmas
The added pressure of additional social engagements
And that's to name just a few!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I wanted to do a little offer on my two packages that are designed specifically for these sorts of times!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whoever you are and whatever you do, if you are finding yourself feeling overwhelmed then this is the ideal time to do something about it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can head straight to my website and book onto the SOS package with the discount/coupon code HELP!
If you aren't sure which one is for you then book in for a discovery call and we'll find out!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can't wait to help as many of you overcome the overwhelm at this wonderful but challenging time of year!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If even one of these quotes resonates then make sure that you read Please Yourself by
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are all just from the introduction!
So you can imagine how incredible the rest of the book is.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Please Yourself is our October pick for Book Club so get your copy and join us next week on Wednesday.
We'll be chatting all about what the book brought up for you and what you thought and then the second half of the session as always is group coaching.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll be taking you through some coaching questions to help you take what you've learnt from the book and put it into practice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's really easy to read all these books and not take any action so let's change that together.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As always with book club, if you haven't finished the book don't worry, there's at least a few every time who haven't so you won't be alone!
It's non-fiction so no chance of spoilers!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I'm proud to say I failed!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The last few days have given me lots of food for thought when it comes to failure.
How I feel about it.
How society views it.
How the personal development world deals with it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I think there is a bit of an issue.
Swipe through to find out why!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we tell ourselves there's no such thing as failure only feedback and lessons to be learnt we are still shying away from failure.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are still giving failure power to scare us.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We will all fail in big and small ways throughout our life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's OK.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are of course lessons to be learnt, I'm going to share more about what I've learnt in my live tomorrow, but that doesn't take away from the fact you have failed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think I've learnt more from this failure than any other because of 3 things!
1. I have called it out - I've failed and that's ok!
2. I have reflected on it from a great headspace.
3. I have shared - I've put myself in a vulnerable position and I feel amazing for it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Vulnerability is necessary for connection.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel more connected with this community now than I ever have before.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this as I know it's a controversial take on failure!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Imagine what you could be saying once you finish the program??
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first time I ran OTO Business Edition was back in May under the name the Balanced Business Blueprint and I was honoured to take an incredible group through it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This time round I've asked for feedback, I've listened, I've made tweaks, I've improved every element of it and I am so excited to welcome the next group in.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are only 8 spaces so if you also want to develop your time management, feel grounded and clear on your next steps without feeling overwhelmed then it is time to get yourself booked in!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know you might feel you don't have the time right now but that's the trick overwhelm always plays on you.
It makes you feel that you aren't able to deal with it so it can keep coming back around to make you suffer again.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get signed up and get your business overwhelm under control before Christmas and head into the New Year with solid foundations to keep your business working for you in a sustainable way.

Overcome the Overwhelm
Business Edition
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now open for enrolment!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've made a lot of changes, the biggest one being that there is now a 1:1 element for every. single. participant.
That's right!
This is a group program that understands you are an individual and your business is different!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So we'll be working through the core modules together as a group and then we'll spend the 1:1 sessions focusing on your plan for your specific business and the action steps that you alone need to take!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AND as if I wasn't being generous enough if you sign up by the 17th October you get the program for the earlybird price of £475 which is honestly a steal AND I throw in an EXTRA 30 minute 1:1 session!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know it probably sounds like it's too good to be true but there's no catch!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Other than - there are only 8 spaces so that I can give you the energy and commitment for our group and 1:1 sessions.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So act fast so you aren't left disappointed.

I can't wait to welcome you to Overcome the Overwhelm Business Edition!

Planning a launch and then finding that IG and Facebook are down...

Anyway, jokes aside, I'm here to tell you about a FREE workshop I am hosting for you next Monday.
