Find the Calm in the Chaos
Advertisement
When life feels like a constant marathon, it’s easy to feel like you should be coping better, especially if you’re capable, reliable, and used to pushing through.
You might be high-functioning and still feel overwhelmed: racing thoughts, irritability, fatigue, sleep disruption, a tight chest, emotional reactivity, or the sense that you’re always behind no matter how hard you work.
This workshop is designed for career professionals, parents, carers, and anyone navigating major life transitions (wanted or unwanted) who is seeking practical skills and a clearer way forward.
In the first theory block, you’ll learn what stress and overwhelm look like in the brain and body, why the “on switch” can get stuck and where the heck is the off switch, and how attention and nervous-system states shape your emotions, decisions, and relationships.
You’ll then build practical skills through guided exercises, including grounded attention-training (mindfulness-based, but practical and down-to-earth) and “One Seat” techniques for steadiness under pressure, without needing any spiritual framing.
This course is educational, not therapeutic. Self-reflection is encouraged, but sharing is not required. You’ll leave with a workbook, practical tools you can use immediately, and a simple action plan to support calm, clarity, and sustainable functioning.
This course runs for 1 day x 6 hours.
