What does your body need this weekend?

What would make you happy this weekend?

Rebel - take back control of your attention

Your attention is precious and yet you allow it to be hijacked constantly. Learning how to take back control of it takes practice. Honing your skills like a Jedi. 

So, what to do? You need the skills that come from years of mindfulness mediation - the ability to watch your thoughts and feelings without judgement, gradually loosening the mind’s ability to hijack your attention with its nagging loop of doom, its incredible ability to time travel to travel through time and space before you’ve even realised you just lost more precious time...or all the time you dedicated to practising this mindfulness stuff…

If you don't have have time right now to spend 7 years in a cave or an hour each morning sitting on a cushion. Getting up at 5 am to meditate or practise yoga works well for some but for you, it just adds to your to-do list, your feelings of inadequacy and actually what you need more than anything is sleep and cutting that short is not what you need right now.....then try this instead.

Body mindfulness for you, today. Be kind to yourself. How you are in the world matters.

Overwhelm and other people

This episode explores how our overwhelm is effected by our reaction to those around us.

Using tuning in and listening to increase awareness of how we feel in the presence of other people can be really helpful in reducing overwhelm when with people we find difficult.

Enhancing the body-mind connection to reduce overwhelm and live more skillfully.

This week I invite you to tune in and notice what your body has to tell you about your need for a holiday. With the holiday season in disarray, how are you feeling?

It’s Glastonbury week and I’m feeling the need to invoke the spirit of Glastonbury to nourish myself.

This episode is dedicated to the 54 stewards that are Team 3 at the John Peel Stage. Miss you all and wishing you a very happy Glasthomebury.

Exploring tuning in and listening to your body to get out of your head and move from overwhelm to ease. Find an easier way to achieve your goals. Feel at home in your life.

New Description:

You know the feeling. You tick one thing off and three more appear. Your to-do list isn't supporting you — it's overwhelming you.

This episode is about shaking up your relationship with your to-do list entirely — using your body's wisdom to work out what actually matters, and making your list a tool for ease rather than a source of dread.

• why your to-do list might be adding to your overwhelm rather than easing it
• how to work out what's actually most important — by tuning in, not pushing through
• why the whack-a-mole effect happens and how to break the cycle
• making your list work for you rather than against you
• a body-based approach to priorities that cuts through the noise

For anyone whose to-do list has become the enemy. It doesn't have to be.

Success versus health

Success versus health is a nonsense - clearly its a nonsense! It’s like climbing to the top of a mountain and realising you’d left your intestines at the bottom.

And I wonder, as we continue to damage our health by pushing on through the overwhelm and exhaustion to achieve our goals, whether its a way to justify our success.

Like driving fast, overworking is an easy habit to get into.

Could you be kinder to yourself? How could you make today easier? Can you respond to your body’s need to move or rest, rather than pushing on through?

It can be hard to change the what - there’s stuff you probably have to do. But it’s very possible to change the how.

Mindfulness can help with your overwhelm or make it a whole lot worse.

Mindfulness is so much more than just being aware of the present moment. What if the present moment is awful?

Don’t add mindfulness to your already overloaded to-do list. Don’t make it yet another ‘should’.

And most of all - don’t make it a special occasion.

Most people trying to escape overwhelm don't know what they're trying to get to. This episode answers that question.

The opposite of overwhelm is ease. Not emptiness, not absence of ambition, not doing less — but feeling at ease in your life, at home in your body. Able to respond rather than react. Able to aim and achieve rather than flail and just get through.

• why knowing what you want instead of overwhelm changes everything
• the opposite of overwhelm — and what ease actually feels like
• feeling at home in your body as a foundation for everything else
• moving from reaction to response, from flailing to flowing
• tuning into your body to make the shift from overwhelm to ease

For anyone who knows what they don't want — and is ready to get clear on what they do.

How much are you judging yourself?

Your mind can be pretty judgy which can really add to your overwhelm. Catching the mind in its miserable judgy act - becoming aware of how often you are judging yourself is very powerful and freeing.

In this episode, I teach the first part of my body mindfulness method - Neutral Noticing - to allow you to start to gain an awareness of how much you judge yourself. It is enough to just notice - like the power of being really listened to.

Oh and bellies and cream teas.
