If there’s one thing I’ve become sure of in the last 4+ years of my work, it is this.
Too many professionals are swept up in perfectionism, anxiety and imposter syndrome, and that these beliefs and behaviours fuel burnout.
Resilience is the anti-anxiety solution, but what underpins and cultivates resilience itself?
The habit of self-support.
Self-care gets a lot of attention but self-support goes deeper.
Self-support is the ability to stand alone and survive without relying on others. In the context of perfectionism, anxiety and imposter syndrome, it is the ability to self-counsel, to step outside the blame and shame to remind yourself:
who you are;
why you do this
what the change you want to see is, and
where you are heading
For me, the practice of self-support is the act of grounding myself, of getting the bigger picture front and centre and applying the self compassion necessary to take care of my immediate needs and place myself firmly back on the path to where I want to be.
Self-support keeps you going.
Self-support keeps you going where you want to go.
Self-support keeps you sane, healthy and happy amongst it all.
I think we all got played early on, brainwashed into believing that we were only good enough when our work was good enough, that we could only be happy when everyone else was happy, that we would only be deserving of praise and self-support when we had earned it.
I’m sorry, because whoever taught you that, whoever taught me that, was a damned liar.
Self-support is foundational.
Join me on Thursday 2nd July at 8pm for this one-hour workshop, where we will be covering:
How self-support is defined by the underlying principles of ‘who, what, why and where’ and how to get clear on what those mean to you
The ‘how’ of self-support; I will be sharing practical exercises that I use for myself and my clients. These include:
Mindset shifts and direction changing questions
How I ground myself, even under extreme pressure
Coming back to the bigger picture and integrity
Creating self-compassion in those moments
In addition to the live training, you will also receive a video replay of the training to watch again (or catch up) at your leisure, as well as a PDF workbook of my notes.
PLUS: sign up to attend this workshop and receive a full 7 days unlimited follow up support from me, to help you implement immediately and make the changes stick!
