How many of us were told we need to put 100% in and you will see results, right?

Now i disagree.
The intention was there, that if you put effort in you will likely see results.

However putting 100% in means we have no room for the seasons where we need more time, need more rest, need to recover or sadly when life's major events come along and we need more capacity just to survive.

Thats exactly what one definition of burnout is, chronic exposure to stress without enough rest.

We can't stop the stressful things that happen that are part of life, but we can ensure we are not running at full capacity all of the time.

Effort should NEVER exceed the potential to recover through REST.
Healthy effort is 60/70% of maximum.
We reserve 30-40% for high pressure situations

For the month of December i've decided to have one off online coaching sessions, to help support you through one of the most high pressure seasons of the year. If you feel like you'd like to learn techniques to increase your reserve, stop before burnout, and add more rest and recovery even during this busy times. DM me: "december"

Yesterday i had the most productive day in weeks.

Do you know why?
Because i had a break.

At the weekend i had some lovely winter sun, i checked out of my business for a long weekend and guess what it was still there when i came back 😄!

We often think if we work harder, do more hours, we will see more results, and sometimes thats the case.

But often the opposite happens
*We slow down
*Concentration drops
*Frustrated at how long everything takes.

Sometimes we don't even realise as it creeps up on us.

December can be a busy time with deadlines, lack of sleep and parties can add extra pressure to the nervous system, productivity drops and stress rises.

I asked my client to choose what they wanted to do for a week, and their results improved.

Why? because i gave them a choice and let their body decide what was needed.

I can suggest practices but their body tells us what feels safe and comfortable.

If we remove choice, remove how it feels or simply do too much, we unintentionally add extra pressure onto an already overwhelmed nervous system.

When i work with clients we work together
*To find the practices that feel safe and comfortable
*To notice when reaching capacity
*To recognise when ticking off a to-do list, rather than the benefit of relaxation.

I constantly ask my clients, how are you feeling, so we are guided by their body and they choose what works.

Choice lead to regulation, its tells the nervous system; you're safe, in control & can relax.

This is one of the ways we rebalance or regulate the nervous system when working together.

When I was going through burnout I found ways to support my nervous system so I did them all haha!

But I didn’t see results, I actually got worse!

Going through burnout, I had to throw all of my beliefs, values, coping mechanisms out the window and listen, listen to my body.

The nervous system needs safety, and slow gentle pace in order to recover and slow increases in capacity.

After a fast paced life where effort equals results it was difficult to slow down, but slowly my body adjusted until it felt comfortable and I had more energy, slept better, didn’t feel stressed and anxious all the time.

Now I want to show you, how to implement simple daily breathing techniques so your body can take a break, rest and recover before it gets to burnout.

Anxiety isn't just in the mind.

💭 Racing thoughts
💓 Fast heartbeat
💤 Trouble sleeping
😣 Muscle tension
😰 Feeling restless or on edge
🫁 Fast & shallow (chest) breathing
*It's a Full body experience

So we need the mind & body to work together to feel calmer.

Breathwork
*Slows & deepens the breath (body)
*Signals to the body it's safe (mind & body)
*Slows thoughts (mind)

Start with Coherent Breathing
Inhale & exhale through the nose
Inhale 5 Secs
Exhale 5 Secs
*Takes you out of the mind & into the body

Dm me "anxiety" to learn more about how breathwork can help you to feel calmer, balanced and less stressed.

I used to not do anything for myself & eventually i burnt out.

I wish more people knew that looking after yourself isn't selfish, its essential.

When you do something for yourself each day, you show yourself that:
*You matter
*You come first
*Your body can trust you to give it what it needs.

Burnout starts with not looking after ourselves enough.

Simple way to avoid burnout:
*Start looking after yourself
*Listen to you body, & give it what it needs. (Sleep, rest, recovery, nutrition, hydration)

When your body doesn't have to shout for basic things, it learns that you will take care of it.

📢 Please start by doing one thing for yourself each day! Show yourself & your body that you come first.

If you're feeling stressed, anxious, irritable, exhausted, struggling to sleep, take the first step today to show yourself and your body that you matter & book a discovery call (link in bio) Or DM me to have a chat.

Last week I took 90mins in the middle of the day for me .

If felt uncomfortable but I knew it was needed .
*I could have done another task on my to do list
*I could have created something for social media
* I could have sent out another proposal

But I knew the one thing I needed was to support myself.

So instead of doing more work, I paused, took a break and did a somatic release session as that’s what my body needed that day.

You might be thinking I can’t do that in the middle of the day Laura I have work! Yes I am incredibly lucky to have a business where I have my own schedule.

But you do have the time for yourself, you just have to make the time for yourself. (Read that again please)

It has been a journey to make time for myself but now I know it’s a priority, when I don’t look after myself I wouldn’t be able to:
*support my clients
*show up for my business
*attend events
*meet fantastic connections
*spend time with family and friends

I’m not perfect, sometimes life gets busy and I have to remind myself to come back to prioritising myself but honestly the more I put into myself the better I show up, so it’s 1000% worth it.

Want to start today?
*start doing one thing for day for yourself
And don’t miss 2x days in a row

Are you the one who always gets things done?

*Rushing around, putting everyone else first (Work, family, friends)
*Put on a smile (I'm fine, just busy)

*But inside
*Wired but tired, always "on"
*Snappy or distant with people (You don't mean to be)
*Hit the deadlines, take care of everyone else, because you have responsibilities & bills to pay.
*The knot in your stomach, tightness in your shoulders, the weight of holding it all together.

Rushing around, carrying the weight of everything, feeling tense, irritable & less productive.

Are all signs your nervous system is "stuck" in fight/flight/freeze.

You don't need to do more, you need to support yourself.

Dm me "Support" to stop just surviving & start living, & take the first step by looking after yourself.

Simplest way to reduce stress, anxiety & avoid burnout, is to understand your capacity.

We aren't taught how to know, when we are reaching our capacity.

There are signs in the body, that show up, but we often ignore, over-ride or just don't know what to do.

Our breath can not only show us when we are reaching our capacity.
*Faster, shallow (Chest breathing)
*Holding our breath
*Feeling breathless

With breath training we can also expand our capacity. So we can deal with life's stressors that bit easier.

When we understand those signs, we can pause, stop, rest & recover so we don't go beyond our capacity for too long, and avoid full blown burnout.

If you are feeling:
*Wired but tired, struggle to get to sleep or stay asleep.
*Get home & collapse on the sofa, as no more energy
*Irritable with loved ones (but you don't mean to be)
*Feeling breathless, or holding your breath

DM me: "connection" to learn to spot the signs, slow the pace and build your capacity.
