Welcome to the second episode of a new bonus series we’re releasing all about burn out.

The incredible Vanessa De Sauty returns to help me break down and explain the next steps when it comes to this experience.

Last week we covered what burn out is and how to identify if you are experiencing it, but this week we are going a little further and explaining how you can prevent it.

 

In this episode we share:


-      What it means to prevent burn out

-      the teaspoon theory and how it can help you manage your energy levels

-      The early signs of burnout Vanessa notices with herself

-      The importance of boundaries in preventing burn out

-      The different types of rest

-      The vagus nerve and the different nervous systems

-      Specific breathing exercises to help tone the vagus nerve

-      How cold water and ice baths help the vagus nerve

 

Key Quotes

 

“I used to think boundaries was about saying no to the things that you didn’t want in your life. But there are things that I really love, that I simply can’t do.”


“If I lay on the couch and watch 2 hours of tv or movie I might be lucky to get a single point back on my body battery. If I have 20 minutes of sleep, I can get anywhere up to 30 points back on my body battery.”
