Irina Sweeney Coaching

It's always heartwarming to receive feedback like this.

I know it's not easy to choose a coach. You need someone you relate to, someone you can and someone who has a greater vision of you.

That's why I created The Life Satisfaction Audit.

I wanted to give you a chance to experience - what's it like to work with me?

But on top of that I want to give something really valuable to take away.

You will receive my top 3 recommendations to improve your life satisfaction via email after our 1:1 session.

Here's the link for you to book. Spaces are limited.

I’ve been binge watching the Winter Olympics in the last couple of days and this episode made me tear up.

Zoi Sadowski-Synnott just finished her last run and her rivals - Tess Coady (AU) and Julia Marino (US) - recognised the brilliance of her run and jumped on top of her cheering, laughing, celebrating what turned out to be Zoi’s gold medal!

This is what true sportsmanship means to me. This is what women uplifting and cheering each other looks like. 🙌🏼

Who cheered you on your success recently?

Do you have a sense that your life could be better?

You definitely know that and you want to bring more joy into your life? But maybe you can't quite pin point what's dragging you down or where to start?

I have a brand new offer that will help you just with that!

It's called THE LIFE SATISFACTION SURVEY.

This is how it works:
- I send you homework as soon as you book your session
- We unpack your results together in a 60 min 1:1 session
- I email you my top 3 recommendations to improve your life satisfaction

No more guessing game!

Brand new month and brand new theme for my journaling prompts!

Coping With Uncertainty

We live in frustrating times.

In our little corner of the world, we are lucky in many respects when compared to what is currently being experienced globally.

But, that doesn’t make it any easier to deal with the ongoing disappointment of cancelled plans and not knowing what is around the corner.

It is really easy to let the constant feelings of uncertainty get you down.

Try my 10 journaling prompts to help you in these uneasy times.

Monday... But it's not just another Monday. For many it's the first day back after a Christmas break.

How are you feeling? If you are somewhat panicked, here are a few tips:

❦ Start your day a bit earlier. Allow extra time to wake up, have a lovely cup of coffee, have a nice breakfast and decide what you are going to wear. Rushing is not your friend this morning!

❦ You will probably be coming back to a few hundreds of emails and you will need to time to sort them. Go slow, don't panic. If something is extra urgent, they will call you.

❦ Take your 'out of office' message off, but replace it with 'it's my first day back' and let your contacts know that you're in the office again and catching up. Just in case they are expecting you to reply on your first morning back...

❦ Chat with your team mates. Some of us are blessed to go back to offices and catch up with colleagues in person, some are still in virtual environments. Make an effort to regardless of your situation: see a few people in your office kitchen or a cafe or reach out via Zoom or Teams.

❦ Feel ok with going back into it slowly. Remembered all your network passwords today? It's a win! Cleared your emails? Amazing! You will need some time to fully get back into it. It will take a few days, so don't feel guilty.

❦ Remember to pause, breathe and carry that little piece of holiday with you. Try to hold on to that relaxed feeling you experienced in the last few weeks. You can go back there any time you like. Just take a break, close your eyes and visualise how you felt on your recent break.

Have a lovely Monday!

Humans tend to get distracted easily. We lose sight of our , lose or , and yes, even forget what’s important to us.

This is understandable. After all, life is busy, and we are constantly juggling to family, friends, work, and ourselves.

We don’t need more complicated resolutions or ten-step programs to follow. We need a simple, effective to bring us back to our true north (ourselves) and remind us of what’s important.

All it takes is one powerful word.

Happy January! I hope you are still in a semi-relaxed post-Christmas mode. Perfect time to ponder on 2022 and what would you like to focus on.

Some of us are into setting goals, some like a more gentle approach of choosing a word of the year.

These two approaches are not mutually exclusive and can perfectly work together!

Your word of the year can compliment your goals and provide you a guiding principle for your life in 2022.

I am running a free 5 day challenge to help you come up with the that is unique to you.

I would love to see you join me, we start on Monday!

Did you know that around 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail before February? That is a huge number!

But, why is that?

We make these because they are things that are important to us. So why do we struggle to follow through on them?

Well, often we aren’t ready in ourselves for these big changes. Also, we don’t have an accountability structure in place that will help us to sustain the change long term. And we have a nasty habit of getting in our own way, letting internal fear of achieving the big goal hold us back.

Resolutions generally involve big, audacious goals that require a lot of change and commitment. Those changes aren’t always in line with our core , so cause us to fail unintentionally.

That’s why a word of the year can be more powerful in helping create change. It aligns with your values and helps you stay on track in a less imposing way.

I look forward to guiding you! 🌼

Have you ever attended a party or celebration that had a theme? Like an 80’s party or a Hollywood glamour dress-up dance? If so, you’ll know how themes can help create a vibe or ambience.

When organising a themed event, you don’t have to think too hard about what to wear, what food and drink to serve, what music to play, or how to decorate: you simply refer to your theme and let it guide you.

Well, think of next year as your party, and your word of the year as the theme.

A is a word (or words) that you choose to represent the things you want to be/do/think/remember in the coming months.

Rather than more rigid or , your word acts as a gentle to align you with your values and help you move towards the things you want.

I see pop up everywhere on social media now. People want to commit to so much!

I just want to ask – are you all miracle workers? It seems overwhelming to even read these lists, let alone achieve all the items on those lists.

No wonder 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail before February…

What if I was to suggest a more gentle way to approach New Year?
