Burnout

I love you, I am listening

  Recently I’ve been feeling very burnt out.   I do plenty of self care and self love stuff, I really listen to my body and do things every day to fill my own cup.   I’m not sure yet what the message is that my body is trying to give me, but I’m listening.   Today, as I write this, I’ve taken the day off to nourish myself.   I’ve done some EFT (tapping) and yoga for burnout which…

You drown not by falling in the river, but by staying submerged in it

  Life is full of ups and downs, where it can feel like the shit hitting the fan will never end. This is a guaranteed part of life. But like old mate Tony Robbins says, pain is part of life; suffering is optional. Granted, when life gives you lemons, you can feel very triggered, angry, hurt, upset, resentful, bitter… and if this goes on for long enough you risk burnout, anxiety and depression. We can be our own worst enemy…

18 life lessons from a helper (recovering rescuer-enabler) type

After spending most of my life helping others, and often (in the past) to my detriment, I thought I’d share some learnings that I wish someone had shared with me.   PEOPLE CAN CHANGE, BUT WE CAN’T CHANGE THEM   As a helper type it’s so natural to want to dive in and help people we see in need, especially those closest to us.   We do this because we believe everyone has the capacity to change; over time, we…
