3 easy habits that helped me to read one book a week

Loads of my introverted friends are booklovers. It’s one of the activities that recharges a lot of introverts and helps them to learn about new topics and feel inspired. Growing up, you could always find me with a book and it's one of the activities that I still make time for and truly enjoy. If you’re looking for a way to get (back) into reading but can’t find the time, then this might help. Here are 3 habits (+ one bonus) that helped me to read one book a week

Potato hell

What started with one moldy potato turned into long boney potato root fingers trying to claw their way out and it’s now become a full stench of potato in various states of decomposition. This didn’t happen over the span of a couple of days either. Nope. It easily took a couple of months to get here. Every day I thought: I’ll get to it later. I’m busy. Ugh, I’m exhausted… and I’d quickly close the cupboard door. At first, the reasons were certainly valid. I was busy that day. And I was exhausted the day after. But it quickly turned into active procrastination.

Proposals and expectations

Are you a "low energy person"?

I used to think of myself as a “low energy person”. It was a little disclaimer I used to let people know that I wouldn’t be staying after work for drinks or be at the party past 9 pm. Like me, a lot of introverts feel like something is wrong with them because they struggle with their energy.

Any perfectionists in the room…? ✋

I’m writing to you from my couch today. It’s 12.30 pm and I’m done working (after this email) and celebrating! My new website is up and running 🥳 Also, there are at least 10 things I still want to change… It wasn’t too long ago that any one of those 10 things would have stopped me from publishing the website. “It’s not finished yet.” “The blog section only has 1 article.” “Also, the background of the blog post needs to be white.” Any perfectionists in the room…? ✋

Client story: How reconnecting with your unique skills rejuvenates your sense of personal power and helps you to attract more soul-aligned clients

In a 1-1 coaching program, we discovered Vicki’s natural advantage: The things she naturally excels at. We discovered that Vicki is very good at helping people to connect with who they really are and to help them move forward. To help them do that, Vicki gets a clear idea of what the person is struggling with and their needs. When Vicki has this context, often an image will appear in her mind or certain words or colours will jump out at her and she will intuitively know how to connect with that person. In the program, we looked at ways to connect with Vicki’s natural advantage to help her share her unique approach as a coach.
