Sensory overload or overstimulation is something so many of us experience without even realising it 🧠

You know that feeling when your brain feels full, even if nothing is really wrong? When every sound, question or notification suddenly feels like too much? That is overstimulation, and it is often your nervous system’s way of saying, I need a moment.

It is especially common for people with ADHD, autism or PTSD, but it can also happen to anyone who has been under stress or anxiety for a long time.

For me, if I have had a full day of teaching, coaching and “performing” (in that social way we sometimes have to), I usually tick all five boxes by the evening 😂

If any of this feels familiar, here are a few things that can really help ⬇️

1. Communicate your needs
If you live with someone, tell them what overstimulation looks like for you. Elliot is great at giving me quiet time or just chatting at me for a bit without expecting a reply 😅

2. Reduce the noise
If you are sensitive to sound, step away for a moment or use noise cancelling headphones to give your mind a breather.

3. Ground through mindfulness
When I feel overstimulated, I go to my balcony and tune into my senses. I notice what I can see, hear and feel: the birds, the breeze, the light. It helps bring me back into the present moment.

4. Use your breath
Breathwork practices like inhale for 4, exhale for 6 help to calm the nervous system. You can also try alternate nostril breathing or box breathing when you need a full reset.

It takes time to understand how to manage overstimulation and everyone’s experience will be slightly different. Be gentle with yourself as you learn what works for you 💛

My moments of calm this week weren’t always super “relaxing”.

I found it in clearing a big area of our garden ready for some work to be done, in seeing the flyer of an event I created up in a shop window, in ridiculous tasty wine and cheese and in mat moments and sunsets.

Calm isn’t always still - it can be in action too 👊🏻

Do you find yourself bringing the stress of your workday home with you? 😮‍💨

I know that I do and the biggest sign for me is sensory overload - the need to get those tight ass clothes off and throw the comfiest set I own on!

When you spend all day on high alert your nervous system doesn’t automatically just switch into calm mode the second you leave work. That’s why it can be so hard to relax even when you change environments because the body is used to being in that hypervigilent state and will only shift when it’s guided to and taught HOW to!

Breathwork and relaxation protocols are some of the simplest ways to do this. And the joy is it’s no work for you at all!

Inside the Happy Healthy Club app you’ve got my voice guiding you - just press play and you’ll be letting go of your work day within minutes.

Would this help you switch off more easily after your day? 💭

Just a few red flags to look out for that I know can affect us all. But it’s when they start to become your “norm” that you really need to take control.

⚡ Wired but exhausted
😴 Restless or broken sleep
💭 Overwhelmed by the smallest things

These are not just “bad days”, they’re signals from your nervous system asking for support and regulation.

The good news is that with simple breathwork tools you can shift your body out of stress mode and back into calm. You can start to learn about yourself in ways that empower you and help you take action to always know what you need in the moment.

Breath by breath you can build resilience and restore balance.

This month’s fatigue was WOW… 😂 💤

And it’s so easy to fall into the trap of resentment when it hits but luteal drowsiness is completely normal and is just a little messenger telling you to maybe change the rhythm a bit.

👉 In the luteal phase, **progesterone rises**. This hormone has a calming/sedative effect on the body but it also can make your breathing a little heavier! 2 reasons why you might feel more sleepy, chilled or less motivated during this phase before your period.

It’s good to remind yourself that:

✨ It’s not laziness, it’s biology!

✨ Your nervous system + hormones are guiding you to enjoy a bit more “rest time”

✨ The trick is learning how to *work with* these changes instead of fighting them - cos’ we likely don’t have the luxury of just sleeping all day when there’s work to be done haha!

This is where breathwork + mindful practices can be a game changer. Because they can give your body the deep rest it craves, while helping you balance your energy when you do need to show up.
Who else gets hit by the luteal phase nap monster? 💤

New Vital collection… 🔥

Use code JESSP10 for a lovely little discount 💸

A very big fan of this lot as you can probably tell! The new Vital Warm has a lovely thin fleece lining for those outdoor workouts or colder gym spaces! Or if you’re me just everyday wear tbh… 🙈

Can’t get over the long sleeve top with high neck too. Just stunning!

The Vital OG I decided to try the 2-in-1 shorts for the first time and they did not disappoint. Super comfy and obsessed with the heavy blue colour 💙

I’m wearing all size M and I’d say they’re very true to size! For a full breakdown of what I’m wearing plus a couple of other new bits, comment GYMSHARK and I’ll send you my try-on video! 🎥

Happy Friday all and huge thanks for those who have used my code. Do let me know if you ever use it so I can say a huge thank you 🤗

Seriously, have you ever tried the “just breathe” advice when you’re anxious… and found yourself just as stressed after? 😮‍💨

Here’s why: If you’re breathing intentionally full, big breaths high up into your chest as someone who’s already stressed or anxious, your body will likely stay in stress-mode.

This is because your body makes adaptations to deal with stress and these adaptations over time can lead to poor biomechanics (the way your breathing muscles work!), reduced interoception (your sense of your own internal state) and increased stress on all the bodies systems.

That is why nervous-system led breathwork and protocols are so different. It’s not about breathing more, it’s about developing new patterns and habits for yourself and becoming empowered with tools that you KNOW work!

Knowing you can either calm or energise your body and mind is a pretty cool thing to be able to do and it’s not just fantasy!

In my 8 Week 1-1 Coaching we will:

✨ Show you exactly how to use breathwork for your body and mind

✨ Give you tools that work in real life anxious moments

✨ Help you feel calmer, stronger and more in control

✨ Build confidence so you’re not second guessing if you’re doing it right

This is not about quick fixes (although you’ll see some pretty quick changes when you dedicate to the practices!), it’s about lasting support that makes breathwork something you can rely on.

Have you noticed “deep breaths” don’t always work for you? 💭

Burnout doesn’t usually happen all at once. It’s a gradual build up from constant stress, lack of rest and ignoring our own needs until suddenly… we crash 🫠

The signs can show up in your body, your mood and in your relationships. Things like fatigue, headaches, lowered immunity, feeling trapped or helpless, withdrawing from others or leaning on numbing behaviours to cope.

There is good news though. Even if you feel helpless, avoiding and recovering from burnout is possible.

There are of course differing levels of burnout but in burnout coaching we prioritise sleep, deep rest, nervous system regulation, restorative practices, time off if you need it and building a supportive environment around you.

It’s not about pushing through - you’ve done that enough ❤️ It’s about restoring balance and making some fundamental changes so you can truly start to feel like yourself again.

Resonating? Feel like you’re on the way to burnout? Comment COACHING below and I’ll send you the link to a book a free call with me to start building you a plan of action right now.

So I cut my hair and some people at work didn’t even recognise me! 😂 Little photo dump from this week. Despite the smiles, it’s been one of those weeks where my hormones REALLY decided to throw me all the fun haha.

Fatigue, brain fog, you name it! And when I’m due on my period I quite often get this thing where I cannot even string a sentence together 🫠 makes teaching that little bit more tricky but that’s why we also have to give ourselves a bit of credit right?! I still showed up. I still taught well. I still got done what was needed to be done.

I may have adapted a little bit but that’s what it’s about.

If you’re interested in learning some really cool facts about thew menstrual cycle, breathing and symptoms you might experience in the luteal phase (the phase before your period) then have a watch of my latest YouTube video! Link is in my bio and it’s super fascinating and empowering when you understand that you’re not just going crazy every month, there’s legit reasons for the changes 🙂

Happy weekend everyone!

Your evenings and even your weeks don’t need to fly by in a rush…

Every Thursday at 20:30 I guide a live Rest & Reflect session inside the Happy Healthy Club app which I’ve specifically put there to have a touch point in the week to actually wind-down slowly and mindfully.

It’s a calming 20 minutes with gentle breathwork, soothing meditation, optional journaling and mindful wind down practices of all kinds.

Here is how you can prepare in just a few minutes:

✨ Dim the lights to support natural rest hormones

✨ Journal one or two thoughts to release the day or reflect on the week so far

✨ Take a few calming breaths to shift your nervous system

✨ Settle into a cosy space with a blanket, candle and/or herbal tea

The session is your weekly pause to check in with yourself and settle your mind before bed.

Will I see you there this Thursday? 💭

✨ Comment “APP” to join with a 7 Day free trial so you can give it all a go without a worry.

Understanding your menstrual cycle is not only important but it’s empowering!

It helps you realise you’re not going crazy when you feel super unfit before your period (breathlessness), it helps you understand that not being able to strong a sentence together is also quite common before your period too 😉

Have a watch if you fancy and lmk what you think! Check the comments for the link.
