From Survival Mode to Skilful Living: Reinterpreting the Effects of Pressure

from Overwhelm is Optional · host Heidi Marke

Reflecting on my experiences managing massive crowds at the Glastonbury Festival, I've realised it's a perfect parallel to how we often react to everyday pressures. In emergency situations, we instinctively activate survival mode - remaining calm, clear-minded, and able to act quickly. But when this same system is applied to daily tasks, we can end up feeling overwhelmed, locked into rigid thinking patterns. Could there be a different way to navigate the pressures of daily life? Tune in as we delve into the effects of pressure on our mental and physical health and how we might transition from mind-based living to a more skilful way of managing pressure. The podcast for high earning, big-hearted, driven professionals  and business owners who want to break free from overwhelm and experience more clarity, ease and joy.Overwhelm is Optional: Join The Gentle RebellionFocus and satisfaction at workSwitch off, laugh easily and be present at homeSign up for Gently Rebellious Emails here.The Gently Rebellious One-Minute Journal: A simple, powerful way to stay focused on what matters most to you. Buy here Explore practical tools, resources and ways to work with me.Visit here www.heidimarke.co.ukFree Audio: The One Minute MarkeThanks to Purple Planet for the music.Affiliate Links & DisclaimerSome episodes and show notes include affiliate links for products I personally recommend.
