Hustle And Grind Is Not Progress

It is interesting how easily, with all the tools at our disposal these days, we can get caught up in BUSY and even forget to breathe…

Do you find this?

As I have been on my journey of writing and speaking and mentoring and coaching and referring or promoting what I trust and believe will be helpful to others, too, I have discovered that the most important thing is…

Breathe.
Stop.
Slow down.
Lie down.
Switch off.
Focus elsewhere.

It is simply not sustainable to be switched on and connected all the time.

I have known burn-out.

I have also travelled the extremely hard and challenging journey of nervous system breakdown.

And I have broken and rebuilt myself inside a few times.

Yes, like the well known Japanese art of “Kintsugi”, I recognise that every experience has been part of my transformational and leadership journey and valuable for bringing help to others who walk the journey several steps behind me…

But I also know that too much of anything is never sustainable.

It is important to pace ourselves.

It is vital to allow our minds and bodies to disconnect from all that is going on everywhere.

It is critical to not dance with chaos.

And so I urge you to stop and look around at your life and ask yourself:

What can I switch off today?

What is one thing that will bring a calm sense of relief?

What one thing can you do today, to gift yourself life

And to simply allow yourself to breathe….?

You are good enough.

You do deserve this.

With love,

🤍
