Hello, I'm going to be doing more of these solo episodes now, and this felt like a good one to start with.

It is something that comes up time and time again in conversations I have as well as my coaching work,

and it is definitely something I have faced in my own life.

Most people are stuck in their heads, going round and round, in loops,

worrying what people think, predicting how something might go wrong next week or next year,

or in 20 years, and of course, beating themselves up for the fact that this whole process

is happening in the first place. So no wonder people are so freaking exhausted.

And if that's you, constantly in your head, you're not alone.

Now burnout isn't just overwhelm from too much work and digital stimulation, though that clearly does play a part.

It is also an inner disconnection from your intuition and inner wisdom.

What to do about it?

Well, the key is learning to clearly see how the thinking mind works

and then to use it as a tool rather than being used by it. Because trying to think your way out of a maze

created by thinking does not work. But there is a wisdom beyond, or perhaps it's a bit more

accurate to say deeper than thinking. And when you start to learn to tap into that and to act

on it, it's a bit like unraveling a kink in a hose.

Everything starts flowing again. And the burnout, the people pleasing, addictions, anxiety,

all that stuff, it all starts calming down. And one quote I particularly like which speaks to

this is from Albert Einstein. And it goes, the intuitive mind is a sacred gift

and the rational mind is a faithful servant.

We have created a society that honors the servant

and has forgotten the gift.
