Energy management & burnout prevention
Light your fire, without the burnout
Working on something you care about deeply, but worried about emotional and physical exhaustion?
If you are passionate about your life, your work, your calling, and your mission, then you know you want to devote your life -or at least a significant part of it – to that passion. To reach this long-term goal, you will need a sustainable method to manage your energy. No more draining all your energy, recharging just until the reserve light pops off and draining it again.
This live online workshop will give you practical tips and insights, so you can continue to chase after your passion.
When? Wednesday, December 13th, 8 – 9:30 PM (Amsterdam time), via Zoom
“I really need this…”
Anne
From Doing to Being
Why do so many powerful, driven people find themselves emotionally and physically drained, while working on something they deeply care about?
We all use our ‘turbo buttons’ sometimes. It is a great solution for emergencies, work sprints and energy kicks. But if you are constantly in ‘turbo mode’, there is no time for your body and ‘battery’ to restore. You are using more energy than available, meaning you are constantly living on reserve. That is OK for a while; for a phase in your project or life. But once this ‘living on reserve’ becomes a way of life, it is not a sustainable model. It is not the question IF it will go wrong, but when and how. In my case it was two car crashes, resulting in two whiplashes and two burnouts; both combinations were seven years apart. I had fourteen years to learn my lessons, and didn’t. Only after the exact same pattern repeated itself did I understand that I had to make a change.
But how? I knew I had to balance my analytical brain with my emotional intuition, get out of my head and more into my body. I really tried, but I constantly slipped back into old patterns. Then my body would say ‘stop’ again. I became frustrated and demotivated, until – finally- I realized that I was trying to solve the problem with the same tools that created it. The switch I had to make needed a completely different approach: from doing to being. It seemed incomprehensible and hard at the time, but looking back it was the most natural thing to do.

Life lessons from a witch – an MDMA experience
During my writing retreat in Mallorca, I supported a psychologist writing a book about psychedelic-assisted therapy. The down-to-earth way she approached it, immediately caught my attention. I had never been interested in using psychedelics - I am too sensitive to even drink coffee, plus years ago, I had a magical connection with the Peyote cactus without ever ingesting it, so why would I? - but this time I felt a big YES.
Life lessons from eye problems
Sunday afternoon, out of the blue, I started seeing ‘light flashes’ in my right eye. Every time I moved my eye or head I saw this ‘lightning’; always in the same place, in the periphery of my sight. Instinctively I felt this was not OK. I messaged my doctor friends in Holland and they told me I should go to an eye doctor first thing in the morning. I went to bed at 6PM, trying not to move, not to put any pressure on my head. I was very worried, because even in the dark I saw light flashes.
Conscious Uncoupling
Conscious uncoupling is a new, more conscious way to end your relationship. You go from the ‘story’ level to the helicopter view. For example, not only the reason why the relationship ended but also the beautiful memories and experiences are looked at. The relationship is honored by trying to turn resentment into wisdom and lessons learned. It’s about how to heal, reflect and move on in the kindest and most productive way possible. You can do this with your ex, but if he doesn’t want to cooperate, you can also do it alone.
