Do you feel like your life is nothing more than a balancing act? Will one false move or errant decision cause the pretense of stability to come crashing down? Have you noticed the quality of your work declining as your brainpower and willpower are left running on fumes?
If so, I hate to tell you this, but you’re living in the throes of burnout.
Burnout presents itself in a number of physical, mental and emotional ways, from back pain and panic attacks to apathy and fatigue. Yet, for everyone, it leaves us thinking the same thing: “I feel miserable. This is not the life I want to live.”
You can enjoy your entrepreneurial journey without waking up one day and wondering why you got yourself in all this mess. But, there’s one catch: If you want your life to look different, you have to be ready to live differently. The habits and mindsets that got you to the point of burning out must be replaced with those that will recharge, uplift, and reenergize you in business and in life.
That’s where BioEnergetics comes in.
BioEnergetics can help you understand where you are blocked physically, energetically, emotionally and spiritually. The idea is to work with your body and soul’s energetic needs to achieve your potential, as opposed to working against it. When you align what you do with what you need, you can discover the flow and abundance you need to thrive in business and in life.
A simple BioEnergetic scan reads the energetic messages emitted by your body field, revealing a wealth of science-backed data about where you are misaligned. For example, it might tell you that you need to prioritize hydration, speak your truth or spend more time surrounded by love.
You might be surprised to hear that a computer program can read all of that, but it’s all rooted in the science of energy. Much like we can hear radio waves that are invisible to the eye, we also emit wavelengths that can be picked up by devices that are tuned into that level.
Identifying our “problem areas” is the first step to solving (and preventing) burnout from rearing its ugly head. When you take care of yourself, you are taking care of your business. (Write that one down and repeat it back to yourself!)
As a Bioenergetic Business Coach, I work with women entrepreneurs at all stages of burnout — from the initial thoughts of “This might be more than I can handle” to the deep lows of “I can’t function like this any longer.” As part of a complete Bioenergetic protocol that also includes other healing tools, I include behavioral and lifestyle techniques to bring you into greater alignment. I invite you to try out a few of my favorites and see if they help you to find peace and clarity in your business and life.
Physical Alignment
If you feel sluggish throughout the day, it’s a good sign that you need to show your body some love! Exercise is always a surefire way to get your juices flowing and will naturally send endorphins to your brain to lift your mood. It doesn’t have to be an intensive weight-lifting routine or a 10-mile run — a light yoga session or a walk around the block can be enough to wake your cells up. I personally love a good Pilates pick-me-up during the day!
Mental Alignment
Consider what your perfect life looks like — both as an individual and as an entrepreneur. Where will you live? What does a day look like in your life? What will be your legacy? How will you feel?
Now is the fun part. Write down everything you imagined in your ideal scene, but in the present tense. That’s right — talk about that dream life as if you were living it right now. Visualization and journaling are two powerful ways to manifest a life you love, so why not put them together for double the impact?
Spiritual Alignment
Self-affirmations are a great way to realign your heart’s center. We all know how transformative it can be to hear words of affirmation from others, so why wouldn’t we share the love with ourselves?
Here are a few examples to get you started:
- “I am safe, secure and supported.”
- “I am balanced, joyful and creative.”
- “I am an idea alchemist.”
- “I lovingly accept all parts of myself.”
- “I love this — all of this.”
- “My thoughts and feelings are valid.”
Choose the one(s) that feel right for you, or create your own affirmation to repeat to yourself throughout the day. You can take back the power to lift your spirits!
These are all wonderful ways to find realignment in your life and in your body, but most people need to get to the root of their blockages to make a real difference. That’s what I work on with my entrepreneur clients in my BioEnergetic Business Coaching program — identifying their energetic blocks and creating personalized action plans to rediscover their flow. I would love to help you tap into your inner wisdom, rediscover your power and flourish in business and life.
