Post-pandemic, many people feel overworked, overwhelmed and maybe on the road to burnout. When you are overwhelmed, you don’t feel you have the time or space to slow down and figure out how to reduce the complexity of your life. In this resource, I provide one very powerful, simple, and easy-to-implement evidence-backed tool that you can use to start reclaiming your life. It will fairly quickly help you reduce stress, and increase your ability to focus and engage with your day.I also have created another tool that lays out an evidence-based framework for how to set and maintain your personal boundaries so you don't get so overwhelmed with life. Many of my clients talk about how their personal boundaries are repeatedly broken at work (either willingly or unwittingly) by supervisors and colleagues and this leads to stress, overwork, and feeling overwhelmed. This resource lays out evidence-backed principles and approaches you can use for thinking about, creating, and managing your personal boundaries.You can find both of these resources on the resources page of the Invictus website.
