Burnout

The experience of living with burnout and exhaustion for professional, creative and highly sensitive women

Hello from the North Laines in ‘not so sunny’ Brighton

Hello from London & Brighton

Hello from the North Laines in ‘not so sunny’ Brighton.

This month we are sharing the creative, quirky, freaky and always fun sights and delights of this little district.  It’s a regular spot for us; hairdresser, massage, favourite Friday doughnut shop, and Sunday pancakes!  We pass on the tattoos, piercings, and fettish footwear!

There is always something new to discover wherever you live and that’s the point of sharing our everyday lifestyle with you.  We all have places we frequent but so often we forget to take the time to actually ‘see’ what’s around us.  Join us on our ramble around…

The North Laines is a mix of original seaside cottages which are now being made shabby chic and painted in every colour you can imagine.  Wish we were renting one of these, they are so adorable.

 

Surrounding the cottages are little passage ways (The Laines) filled with shops, cafes, bookstores and all sorts of arts and crafts stalls.

 

 

It’s fun to see the ever changing window displays and the many artists displaying their work.  When refreshment is needed, along with some culture there is always an al fresco cafe alongside an alley with some of the best graffiti (this is my favourite).

 

We challenge you to ‘see’ your usual haunts in a new, quirky and conscious way.  Keep your eyes open to something new, a new route to take, a new window display and who knows what else.  Go have fun.  Happy exploring.

Love,

The Burnout Queens | Dr Toby and Dr Bev

4 Steps to Change Successfully

Here are the 4 most important things you need to do today to ensure you succeed with your unique Change style.

Our clients over the decades put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into changing how they think, feel and respond in situations in their lives.  When they successfully follow a few basic changes, they feel invigorated, bold and like they found the ‘keys to the kingdom’.  Divas all of them!

This is how they did it, why not try it yourself!

First, have a good read of our latest Feature Article (click here) and then…

Second:  Decide what change means to you…

Is it risk taking, adventure, stress or something else?

Is change imposed on you…or…chosen by you?

Third:  Find a role model for change, either fictional or real  (it can even be someone you see walking through a revolving door). 

What is it you admire about how she changes things or herself in her life?

How does she approach change and what happens if  she doesn’t succeed at it?

Fourth:  And this is obvious if you read the article…Go find a revolving door and go through it, more than once if you have to, to find out your style.

Why not take an unsuspecting friend with you and surreptitiously watch them go through a revolving door.  Ask yourself…does it match her style?

You can share your secret motive and a good laugh with her over tea later!

Go on!  Find that revolving door and you might find out something extremely important about what help you succeed or keep you being the ‘same old, same old’ you are tired of being!

Cheers, The Burnout Queens xx

4 Thoughts That Signal It’s Time to Change

Your Revolving Door Style | How to become a Diva of change

How do you know when it is time to embrace change?

    • When life smacks you upside the head and you get jolted out of complacency…it might be time.
    • If you find yourself fantasizing about “how life would be” if, or you are envious of other peoples’ adventures…it might be time.
    • If you get up in the morning with a sinking feeling about work, a relationship, or your major at school…it might be time.
    •  If you feel a desire bursting inside you that you have ignored for years…it might be just the time.

If you still need clarification about when and how to change, read our last Feature Article about Becoming the Diva of Change.
