perfectionism | The Burnout Queens

Articles we love to share from Huffpost

November 5, 2014

Today I read a great article in The Third Metric (Huffington Post) that I want to share, because it captures the essence of being a highly sensitive person in a way that will breathe a sigh of relief for some of you.

16 Habits of Highly Sensitive People is a great intro to what this type of person is, who they are and what fantastic characteristics they possess.

Did you know that 1 in 5 people relate to being ‘highly sensitive’. Now that’s a massive amount of people and The Burnout Queens are very proud to be counted amongst this grouping. No shame, just pure embracing of the traits and intricacies of being intuitive, sensitive and creative. We both relate to each of the 16 habits spoken about.

In fact, most of our international clientelle are highly sensitive, creative and dynamic women from all parts of the globe. It is such a joy to speak with them and watch them blossom when they realise the strength of their natural sensitive traits. No ‘shrinking violets’ among them….

When you read this article, see if YOU can count yourself as one of the five. You will be in some great company, guaranteed!

Hello from London… November 1

November 1, 2014

It is impossible to believe that it is the first of November! Mainly because the weather here has been absolutely fabulous; sunny, mild, slightly breezy. Just today we were out walking with only sweaters on and it was hot! Now if Mother Nature would only serve up the whole winter like this, perfection!

It’s been a busy month work wise, designing and writing new classes and programmes, presenting Masterclasses and keeping up with clients. We’re also about to start blogging for the Huffington Post so we will let you all know where you can find that very soon. We are super chuffed about this!

Blood Swept Land and Seas of Red. There has been a very special art installation happening at the Tower of London to mark the centenary of the outbreak of World War 1. Here are a couple of pictures we took when we visited a couple of weeks ago. It truly takes your breath away, but the pics don’t do justice to the the vastness of it.

What you are looking at is a ‘sea’ of handmade red ceramic poppies filling the moat around the Tower of London. Designed and created by artists Tom Piper and Paul Cummins each poppy is unique and has been ‘planted’ in remembrance of someone who died during the Great War from the U.K. and other Commonwealth countries. By Remembrance Day there will be 900,000 poppies, just short of the 1.2 million who died. It truly is beautiful and moving. We love that each poppy is as unique as the soul that was lost.

That same day we traced some family roots by visiting the London street (Warwick Court) Toby’s Great Great Great (times many!) relative lived on in the late 1400s. Unfortunately the house would have been lost in the Great Fire of 1666, but what an amazing feeling to walk down the same street! We are very proud of Henry, physician to King James 1, President of the Royal College of Physicians for many years, and founder the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries.

Then we headed back to the seaside, I guess we really do miss the ocean! The salt air was delicious and the weather cooperated fully! Dr. B decided to have a ‘boo’ out to sea!
