Being At Capacity With Life

Dec 20, 2023 | Business Coaching, Personal Development

Stop The World - I Want To Get Off!

Does it feel like life is zoom past at an alarming rate?  Like you are at maximum capacity already.   Or maybe you are OVER capacity!?  You feel frazzled, stressed, burnt out.  And there is no sign of it slowing down.  Maybe you’ll get a day or two between Christmas and the New Year for a brief reprieve (or maybe, like me you have a small child’s birthday then!) but straight after that, it’s back to warp speed life.

You know that you aren’t taking enough time to look after yourself, but it physically isn’t possible for you to do so, right?  You’ll probably make some kind of New Year’s Resolution to look after yourself more, but you’re too flat out to look into how to make this happen in a sustainable way that fits with your life.

 

It’s okay – I hear you.  I have been there myself (did I mention a small child’s birthday?!)  I also know what the answer is.  I have tried it, my clients have tried it.  It works.

AND I know that you will struggle to believe me as it is too simple! But humour me for a few more moments before you vacate my website!

Take time for yourself FIRST and your capacity INCREASES

No, I don’t mean that more hours magically turn up in your day.  That would be amazing (but also, probably exhausting).
I mean that your mental/emotional capacity increases.
 
The thing is, the real problem with capacity, is the FEELING of being at or over it.  We conjour up ideas about our inability to get things done and WHAT THAT MEANS (failure, not good enough etc) and then we feel stressed, overwhelmed and burnt out.  We create an experience that is based in thoughts and fears, rather than grounded in truth.
 

The reality is that we will all get done what we actually need to get done, because we just will.
We can either get it done, but it feels like a blur, time/life rushing past as we barely handle everything on our plates, while smoke comes out of our ears.  Deep in worry that we may fail at life, and that we ultimately aren’t good enough… (because that’s what’s going on underneath the feeling most likely)
OR we can handle the important things, aware that it is a lot, with compassion for ourselves and trust that we will be okay, the most important things will happen, and safe in the knowledge that we are enough whatever the outcome.
 
Big difference!
 
So it is with the greatest of awareness about how busy you are that I invite you to join my colleague Ali Scott and me on our Optimised Life Miracle Membership, because we feel the upmost compassion for you, knowing how you could feel differently. Our membership is designed to be a real option for you to carve that time out for yourself.   Offer yourself that bit of care, that when taken, does increase your capacity.  Because it reduces your stress, your mental load and your feelings of not being enough.
Doors for early bird sign up open 26th Dec.
