A surprising reason you're not healing from your burnout.
Have you ever changed jobs, marriages or life situations hoping it would solve your burnout problem only to discover you still feel exhausted and depleted?
It might be because you're trapped in a tunnel.
An emotional tunnel.
Shutting down your emotions can feel helpful and even necessary in certain situations but it's important to remember, you still need to give yourself permission to feel them in order to get through the tunnel.
It's also useful to remember that emotions are simply neurobiological events that happen in your body. They have a beginning, a middle and an end.
💡 Any well articulated emotion, typically lasts 90 seconds. That's all.
If you can give yourself permission to fully feel the feeling from the beginning all of the way to the end, you can gain freedom from the emotion and move forward. If you stop it or suppress it, you get stuck in the middle.
🧪 According to leading researchers in the field of burnout, Dr. Emilie and Amelia Nagoski, burnout happens when you get stuck in the emotional tunnel and don't move fully through them.
That's why you can change jobs, marriages, life situations and still feel burnt out. Until you move though the tunnel, the emotions will stay stuck in your body and you'll feel depleted.
✔️ The good news is: once you understand that the emotions are simply chemical & neuro-biological events with a beginning, middle and and end with a short life space, it becomes easier to feel them fully and move forward.
If you add specific science backed tools to calm your nervous system while you're feeling them, it becomes a whole lot less overwhelming.
Like my client "Dean" (name changed for privacy) who recently shared, "I feel so much less reactive now that I have the tools to move through an emotion and see it for what it is. It's just biology in action and I have the power to process it quickly and move on. My wife has noticed too. We're getting along a lot better and our life at home feels more peaceful"
When Dean came to me, he was feeling cranky, irritable, short-fused and overwhelmed, even though he had his dream business. It was not only impacting his business but his personal relationships as well.
Using the science backed tools inside of the Burnt Out to Blissed Out Program he discovered he could move through the emotional tunnel to quickly regain his calm, positively impacting both his relationships and his bottom line.
Just remember, emotions are neuro-biological events, a flood of chemicals moving through your body, with a beginning, middle and an end and can be short lived when you have the tools to move through them.
