It's that time of year when, if we're not careful, we can take our exhaustion and burnout, throw some fairy lights over the top and hose it down with a bottle of Bailey's!
It's imperative we manage our stress and take better care of ourselves, so we don't start the new year with a bucket of burnout tucked under our arms.
As a mental health writer, I've noticed how so many of us know very little about the mechanics of stress and how our nervous system operates.
In this episode, I talk about why our primitive brain and outdated hard wiring go on overdrive this time of year. I explain how our parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system works, and what we can do to help calm it and get back to a place of peace, helping us stave off exhaustion, overwhelm and burnout.
My wish for you after listening to this quickity-quick solo chat is that you begin to take regular moments throughout the day to calm and reset your nervous system.
