Why I'm giving away one of my most popular paid-content courses...
It's Sunday evening again, and I would bet my house that you are already feeling nervous, troubled, overwhelmed by everything you still have to do, just plain nauseous about going back to the office tomorrow? About facing the epic pile of work that has to be done. Knowing that you have had two days of freedom, that you're just beginning to feel human again and BAM back to spinning a dozen plates whilst you pat your head and rub your tummy, run around after everyone else and STILL don't feel like you've done enough, achieved enough,given enough each day.
Right?
You might have noticed that I'm not very good at following rules. Do you have the same rebellious streak?
Oh don't get me wrong, I'm a good girl. I'm a lawyer for god's sake. I have a huge amount of respect for the rules that apply.
Except... every so often I just want to say screw the rules.
Last night I went live in the Serenity Searchers Private Members Club to answer questions about the Burnout Mastermind Workshop series and about burnout more generally.
I got a little sidetracked part way through addressing an issue that has been coming up repeatedly over the past couple of weeks; the concept that you don't think that you are important/worth spending time and money on/ have no influence.
How many times today have you thought 'I can't do that' or 'I wish I could do that' and felt disappointed in yourself or your life?
Fixed thinking - of who you are, of what is your place in the world or what you can achieve, is a survival habit we all slip into from time to time, but this limited thinking does not support you.
You get used to knock-backs in the course of a career.
Bad feedback, negative energy from a manager, systems failures, sometimes shit just goes wrong.
But dealing with the more personal affronts, that takes work.
