Sadly more & more people are experiencing the serious SYMPTOMS of Burnout... I see so many clients in a place of despair, exhaustion, overwhelment. Here are the most popular reasons for BURNOUT.

1. TOO MUCH stimulation...Stimulation comes in all disguises; from the Toxins we consume such as Caffeine, Sugar, Alcohol…, the TOXINS we breathe in...and External devices such as TV, Computers, mobile phones, computer games, lighting, sound…OVER EXPOSURE especially at bedtime, locks the body into hyper-arousal state making it difficult for the mind, body and emotions to SWITCH OFF and RELAX.

2. Lack of Deep Quality SLEEP... Quality Sleep is vital to repair the body, when we don’t get enough quality sleep, our mind, emotions and mental state suffers. Our body NEEDS REST & RELAXATION.

3. POOR Nutrition...Poor Diet lacking in Nutrients and full of stimulants causes spikes and falls in blood sugar, causes lower immunity and dis-harmony within the body’s natural chemistry.

9. Living in the PAST or FUTURE ? ANXIETY & STRESS is caused by living in the past or future. But when we are in the MOMENT, the PRESENT, we are only focusing on the present ACTION and or ACTIVITY, not the what if’s, should be’s…or the major disasters our mind IMAGINES & FEARS.

10. Not LIVING your PURPOSE, PASSION....Doing a job that doesn't fit with you, can be a major reason for unhappiness, it can seriously deplete our energy or can be a major cause of built up resentment, frustration and or apathy. Even doing a HOBBY you LOVE with replenish a JOY FOR LIFE.
