Listen to this episode to understand how it happens and what you can do about it.

The content shared in this podcast does not exempt you from consulting a professional.

You have lots of routines and obligations that tire you out, take up time and that you don't like.
But why not start using them as moments of mental rest? If you have to do them, why not start managing them more intelligently?

This year I was once again honoured by the GHP Mental Health Awards. I feel very grateful for this further recognition of the work I've been doing.  
But my first thought when I read the email informing me of the area in which I had been awarded was that this particular prize didn't have much to do with who I am.

In this episode, I help you understand why this surprising award actually makes a lot of sense.

Sometimes it feels like your work isn't flowing as usual, your brain doesn't seem to be working at its best, it feels stuck.
In this episode, I'll help you identify an inner state that greatly impairs the fluidity of your brain, causing you to have to work much harder to do the same job, which ends up being of poorer quality than it should be.
Listen to this episode to understand what's happening and how you can change it.

We do lots of things on autopilot. This is an extremely effective strategy of our brain — it allows us to spend much less time and energy on routine activities.
But does it make sense to leave everything on autopilot? How can reducing this mode of operation greatly reduce both your negative emotions and your mental and emotional exhaustion?

With so many pressures, responsibilities and demands, many people don't find the time to rest. And they think they'll rest on holiday. But resting on holiday isn't enough. What's more, if you're exhausted, the holidays won't be enough for you to rest.

In the last episode, I spoke to you about navigating life's storms. Today, following on from that, I'm going to talk to you about more violent storms. When you think you've reached the bottom of the hole.

Does that really exist, the bottom of the hole? When everything is terrible, can you be sure that it won't get worse?
In this episode, I come to share my thoughts with you.
