Are corporate environments the cause of burnout?
Not necessarily.
You see, I actually realised that my burnout story started long before I turned to corporate. It actually started when I owned my own hair salon.
And what started me on the spiral towards burnout?
Seeking the validation and approval of others.
I let what I “should” do, take precedence over what I loved to do. Despite constantly achieving new goals such as buying my salon, building it up and selling it, or creating impact in the corporate world, it never felt like enough.
Little did I know that the burnout that I thought I was keeping buried deep down hidden by accolades and achievement and facade of the mother of two doing it all, was actually far more visible than I imagined. This was brought to my attention when, after a particularly bad day at work my son (who was only young at the time) turned to me and said, “Mummy I don’t like it when you’re sad and you’re crying”.
It was the slap in the face, the wake up call that I needed to really look around and ask myself what am I doing with my life. If you’re reading this, then there is a good chance that you too have had one of these moments. It’s both incredibly freeing and incredibly overwhelming. With the world at your fingertips you could choose to do anything, be anyone, and it’s in this moment that I want you to hear these words.
You don’t need to be anyone but yourself.
It can be incredibly hard, and in these hard times we are often forced to face hard truths. However, by embracing the parts of you that were once relegated to the shadows you can start to solve the puzzle that let’s you look back on your life with incredible clarity and see how these choices, these moments of growth all lead to you becoming the most extraordinary version of you yet. The version who achieves success without the burnout. The one who cherishes their strengths even when society tries to get you to hide them or push them down.
So how do I help you achieve this?
Through the use of modalities such as: Linguistic Programming (NLP), Positive Psychology, Emotional Intelligence, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Mindfulness and Effortless Meditation practice, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Matrix Therapies, and various forms of Growth and Transformational coaching.
Because you are already extraordinary and the success you crave is sitting just on the other side of embracing it. Reach out to me if you’d like some support in getting there.
