My well-being skill

Hi, my name is Hélène, Frenchie EXPAT in the NL, well-being coach & yoga teacher! I spent 7 YEARS as an EXECUTIVE in ENGINEERING, first as a project engineer and then as a project manager. Then I moved to the Netherlands to live with my partner. So, I understand the problems of both worlds, salaried employment and self-entrepreneurship. I used to be ANXIOUS. I worried and stressed all the time. I had ten thousand thoughts a second going through my head. They prevented me from concentrating or living in the moment. I was always afraid I wouldn't be up to the task of managing my responsibilities, socializing or saving those around me from their problems.

​I used to cope with a smile on my face, looking enthusiastic and happy. But the truth was that INSIDE, I was SUFFERING in silence. I was often slumped over. I felt depressed. I had a constant knot in my back. I experienced intense emotions and sometimes even panic attacks.

​I BELIEVED IN GIVING IT ALL at work, at play and to those around me. I worked long hours, tried to please everyone and forgot myself. To survive, I'd let off steam with an intense jog every now and then, or dance my ass off in nightclubs. At first, I felt relieved and happy, but very quickly...

It was a DESCENT INTO HELL! My emotions were overwhelming me. Stress, tension and negative emotions were returning. I was regularly blocked by back pain, so I went to see a doctor. After a follow-up visit to a physiotherapist or osteopath, bingo, relief! But soon afterwards, my mind would be tormented again and my suffering would come rushing back. None of this solved my underlying problems. In 2018, I tried YOGA (a second time). I confess, I was SKEPTICAL! I didn't think it was fast-paced and intense enough for me. Plus, I wasn't supple and comfortable enough in my own body to feel at ease in this well-decorated studio, amongst all these well-dressed chicks in their trendy yogi outfits. And yet, I pushed open the door of this class. And my beliefs were shattered. This gentle activity was good for my body and allowed me to put my brain down. The BENEFITS were UNSUSPECTED: no more knots in my back, relaxation, emptiness in my head. I felt so energized and motivated that I wanted to sing the song of life and dance the night away! Practicing YOGA once a week HAS CHANGED MY LIFE. My stress level has decreased. I don't have aches and pains like I used to. I'm more serene. And I can concentrate more easily at work. I have the energy to enjoy the hobbies that make me tick (singing, salsa). In 2019, I decide to TREAT THE CAUSES OF MY WOES. I begin psychotherapy and read personal development books. In 2020, my Cartesian engineering mind wants to understand why yoga helps me so much. I train and discover a PASSION FOR YOGA. I realize that the human body and mind are incredibly complex machines that need to be nurtured and maintained. Like a car or a bicycle, they need to be cleaned, checked, serviced and repaired. Three yoga training courses have given me a great toolbox for taking care of myself and avoiding repeated breakdowns. Today, I LIVE IN WELL-BEING because :

- I manage my stress better. I identify my tensions and release them on my own. I face challenges with serenity and greater self-confidence. I find a state of relaxation more quickly and easily after the state of alertness.

- I move my body every day. I adapt according to my energy and desire: a yoga practice to suit me, a walk in my neighbourhood or in nature, an improvised dance at home. Movement is liberating!

- I act on what I can control. And I let go of what I can't control. If I need treatment or support, I consult someone. But I feel so much more armed and autonomous to take care of myself than before.

- I leave myself alone! I am kind to myself. I express my emotions. I say "no" sometimes. I'm perfectly imperfect! And I laugh about it! I accept myself as I am, I stop comparing myself to others. I improve what I can! YOU CAN LIVE THIS TRANSFORMATION TOO! Take action now:
