38. When exhaustion goes deeper than the body: Advanced self-care using Human Design

Hi hi! I’ve realised that when my tank is beyond empty and I’m teetering close to shut down, more intense - and less conventional - self- methods are needed to truly regulate my system and nourish me back to life.I realised that so many of us limit self care to physical practices hoping they will automatically replenish our hearts and minds as well. But what we need to do is take a targeted approach to each aspect of ourselves - mental activities for an overstimulated mind, energy practices for an overwhelmed aura (especially if you’re an empathetic or highly sensitive person!), emotional nourishment if our heart is sore or drained, and physical practices that are customised to what works for our unique bodies.Join me as I use Human Design and spiritual insight to craft a personalised self-care regimen for myself following a 2-day leadership training I led last week that involved lots of late nights, 1x1 coaching and holding space for a big group of leaders.Some atypical practices I share that do wonders for me are changing up my environment and going to hang out in a space that feels calming and peaceful for me (others might feel energised in active places), buying something luxurious, not hanging out with anyone, talking it out by recording this podcast episode to release trapped mental energy, and several more customised practices that instantly settle me down and fill me up.Hope it helps you too!
