Frazzled The Podcast

FRAZZLED is back for season 2, and I'm starting with why we need to do less to achieve more, and why our pushing for more, is actually stopping us from getting things done, slowing us down, and impacting our performance.

And, because I've known that I've still been doing too much this year, despite saying I'd do less, this felt like a great place for FRAZZLED to restart.

I'm so pleased to be back!

Let's get stuck in

I recently had to have a word with myself.

Even with all I know about the need to rest, how to prevent Burnout, how to stop exhaustion and fatigue, and how to reduce stress, I've been stuck with a bug for almost four weeks.

And I feel awful.

And my default was to keep going and just 'push through'.

I stopped myself and realised that rest was what I needed, but I kept resisting it.

Because my inner critic was telling me rest does not equal success. That I only needed to keep pushing for a few more weeks and then I'd have my Christmas time off.

And yet, if I had kept pushing and made myself even more ill, surely that would be hypocritical. Can I talk about this Burnout stuff and not live it myself?

Why was I resting rest?

And if you're doing the same, why?

I'm talking about this in this week's episode of FRAZZLED

We're coming to a time of the year when stress rises, tempers fray, and for some, it all feels too much.

All of the marketers have of course caught onto this, and they are offering you a stress-free life.

So you spend the money, but nothing changes.

Why?

Because we all need stress, just not the unhealthy kind.

How many decisions are you making a day because of the life clutter surrounding you?

How much time and energy is life clutter stealing from you?

If your decisions were reduced could you increase your attention, energy, and focus?

"Our people don't have time"

"What do you say to all of the people who can't find the time to put themselves first?"

I hear these things a lot, and now I have just one response and whilst it may hit pretty hard, it's sadly the truth.

If you do not make time for your wellness, you will be forced to take time for your illness.

And I don't know who that quote belongs to, I've definitely been saying it for years, but I'm seeing it do the rounds on social media, so it's come from somewhere.

And it's true.

Of course, you probably won't believe it, because Burnout won't happen to you right? (rolls eyes)

None of us are immune to Burnout!

How often do you apologise for putting yourself first?

How often do you make apologies to the people that matter most?

I've been MIA for a couple of weeks, and I'm sorry I've not been around.

But I'm not sorry for putting myself and my family first.

You see, just like you, I only have a certain of hours in each day, and a certain amount of energy to fill those hours with, and I won't apologise for putting my priorities first, not anymore!

So in this episode, we're talking about apologies, and why we don't need to make them!

Is your need to please people all of the time adding to your stress?

What if I told you that people pleasing, isn't actually about wanting to please others, but it's about you feeling validated and wanted?

What if, instead of trying to please others, you focused on serving others?

Aha

Mic drop

Lightbulb moment

Epiphany

Today, I have realised for the first time in my life, that my company, does not need to have my own personal values.

And more specifically, my own business does not need to have my personal values.

Because it's not me, and it's not about me.

My business is about my clients - which of course I knew - but it's important that my company values are best placed for my clients.

And yes, there's a crossover of course!

BUT, even more eye-opening, is that I've realised that I was comparing the toxic Exec team in the toxic workplace that caused me to reach Burnout, to my own values, and not that of the organisation.

So, in actual fact, I was adding to my own stress. I

I've been away from home for 12 days, and I have five days left on retreat, in the sun, in the quiet, facing the seas from the mountains, where I'm fed and pampered daily.

Sounds wonderful right?

And for the most part, it is.

And I'm grateful that I get to do this every year. It's also hard, emotionally and physically.

Change brings with it the messy middle, the part where you're not in the old anymore but you're also not in the new.

The part that feels like walking through treacle, and you know you can't turn back, but you don't want to keep moving forward.

This episode is a confession from a yoga retreat, enjoy!
