IT'S TIME TO BE SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT IT BEING STRESSFUL


One habit at a time!

Nicola McCrabbe


Do you struggle with one or more of the following?


Overthinking and anxiety
Self-doubt
Overworking
Fear of failure
Imposter syndrome or perfectionism


Do you identify with one or more parts of Emily's story?

Once upon a time, there was Emily, an ambitious yet overwhelmed individual.

Emily's mornings began with an abrupt awakening from her blaring alarm, and a familiar sense of dread as she anticipated the overwhelming day ahead.

Arriving at work, Emily perceived the day's demands as insurmountable, leaving her anxious and unfocused. The mounting pressure eroded her confidence, casting shadows of self-doubt.

Amidst the chaos, Emily found herself tethered to her desk. Lunch breaks turned into moments of mindless scrolling through social media—a temporary escape from engulfing stress.

Setbacks and negative feedback, common in any professional journey, hit Emily hard. She internalized each criticism, letting it erode her self-esteem. The fear of failure gradually took hold, paralyzing her progress and leaving her feeling utterly defeated, and she often felt unsupported.

As the day progressed, work and personal life boundaries blurred. Emily felt isolated, unfulfilled, and disconnected from loved ones as she as she grappled with work-related concerns.

Exhausted and emotionally spent, Emily would collapse into bed each night, dreading the cycle that awaited her. Deep down, she yearned for change—a way to break free from suffocating overwhelm and discover purpose and balance that had eluded her for too long.

JOURNEY

I understand the challenges of overwhelmed and anxious high-achievers. I am one myself.
I burnt out and had to learn a new way to live and work. Today, I'm more focused, confident, authentic and connected. I can deal with the stressors in my life and have tools to help me to be more resilient.

APPROACH

I ask deep questions to get to the root of the issue.
I also get concrete and ask that you take action between sessions.
I'll role-play and experiment with you in sessions.
I'll be your best advocate.
I'll give you action items between sessions to experiment with new habits.

As the morning sun peeks through her window, Emily wakes up feeling excited for the day ahead.

Emily grabs her favourite journal and starts her day with a moment of calm, practicing a short mindfulness exercise that she learned from our program. Armed with the time management techniques she learned, Emily glances at the realistic plan she has created for her week with dedicated time for important tasks and breaks to recharge. She feels refreshed and focused, as she greets her team and colleagues and wishes them a good day.

Throughout the day, Emily encounters challenges, as we all do. But armed with the strategies she acquired from our program, she now recognizes when she is stressed and approaches situations with confidence and compassion. Setbacks and negative feedback no longer derail her – they become opportunities for growth and learning.

During lunch break, Emily takes a moment to check in with herself and indulges in a healthy, nourishing meal. She even squeezes in a short walk outside, embracing the beauty of nature and allowing her mind to recharge.

As the workday comes to an end, Emily wraps up her tasks efficiently, knowing she utilized her resources and support network effectively. She communicates assertively, advocating for her needs and career progression and manages expectations with grace. The once-daunting idea of delegating tasks has become a skill she excels at, allowing her to focus on what truly matters.

After work, Emily effortlessly transitions into her personal life. She spends quality time with loved ones, fully present and engaged. She embraces the joy of pursuing hobbies, knowing that taking care of herself is just as important as achieving professional success.

As the day winds down, Emily reflects on her accomplishments, big and small. She's proud of how far she has come. With a smile on her face, Emily drifts off to sleep, excited for what tomorrow holds.
