If you don't know you are stressed out, you might not know to do anything about it. Once you are aware that you might be on the path to burnout, you have an opportunity to start learning about stress. Once you understand stress and the way we are overusing a system which was meant to keep us safe from sabre toothed tigers you can start to feel better. You me as I explore this from a new perspective.
It seems to me that being stressed has become normal. The numbers of people reporting feeling stressed is getting higher every year. But it looks like many have resigned themselves to stress just being part of life. After all, look at the crazy world we live in!
But this is all based on a fundamental misunderstanding which pervades our world. The misunderstanding that our feelings of stress come from the outside world. FEELING STRESSED IS A SIGN THAT YOU ARE USING THE POWER OF THOUGHT TO INITIATE THE FIGHT, FLIGHT OR FREEZE RESPONSE IN YOUR BODY ON A FAR TOO REGULAR BASIS!
This then impacts on your physical and emotional health because excessive hormones that are not supposed to be there are rushing around your body. Those hormones are created inside you, by a system working inside you, not by the outside world. This response was initially designed to get you away from a sabre toothed tiger, not to manage a day at the office or your homelife. It was never meant to be in use all day every day.
The way we think and the fact that we are not aware that thought is the problem is perpetuating so much human suffering. But there is a different way! A simpler way! Once you understand how this all works, stress naturally melts away. Trust me! I have been where you are now and I am not any more.

Destressing tips don't work because they go against the simple understanding of how we work psychologically. Once you understand this simple truth, destressing tips no longer make sense. You can navigate life with more ease. Calm becomes more often your natural state and you have a lot less to do.

My own story of stress management is probably to many. Tried lots of tools and techniques. Trawled through the past a bit (a lot actually). Felt many moments of utter despair. Often thought I must be so broken that I couldn't be helped. But here is the hope ... I am out of that pattern now. I am free and you can be too!

We spend a lot of time asking 'why' when we don't feel good. Today I would like to talk about 'why' you feel good when you do. Spoiler alert - it has nothing to do with tools and techniques! Knowing what is really going on when we feel good is really helpful. It helps us find that place more often.

It's Blue Monday, a day when we are all supposed to feel a bit meh! But yet again, it turns out it was all made up by a marketing department. Just like 10 000 steps a day, breakfast being the most important meal and 5-a-day. There are so many things we take for granted as being true (including many things which are only in our own thinking).

Seeking the answers when we are feeling stressed can take hours. There are so many rabbit holes to go down. Looking for the sources outside us is never going to reveal the answers. As meaning making humans, it's tricky not to get caught in this trap. But there is another way. A simpler way.

The message out there is that we all feel stressed sometimes. That it seems to be part of modern life. So we might well wonder, how to deal with feeling stressed. But the problem is that most of the things you are told when you ask that question are guiding you away from calm rather than towards it.
What's more important than dealing with stress is understanding it better. When we understand stress more deeply, there is a lot less to deal with than you might think.
