Feeling overwhelmed? Or are you actually overloaded? Why knowing the difference is so helpful.

We all feel overwhelmed from time to time. It’s a normal human experience. But if we feel overwhelmed much of the time this can become debilitating for our mental and physical health. Life in our society seems rather conducive to feelings of overwhelm with all we ‘have’ to do, achieve and are responsible for. Particularly in the last year of the covid pandemic, many more people are experiencing feelings of overwhelm with so many changes and uncertainty around. It can sometime

Living from a stable foundation in life.

Hello! I’m sharing here about the foundation from which we live our lives, where our security comes from and how we can live from a different foundation that is stable. As we round off this most unusual and challenging year (2020), I hope this provides you with a spark to reflect on what foundation or premise you are living life from, and if this is serving you well. Happy Christmas and 2021 to you xx . . . #lindseyelliotttransformationalcoach #resiliencecoach #wellbeingcoach

Our ability to cope, and anxiety about the future.

Our ability to cope, and anxiety about the future.

We often fear what might happen in the future because we believe we won't be able to cope. But if we look back over our life so far, we will see that without our having to do anything, we have adjusted and coped with challenging things. This is because our ability to cope is built into ALL of us, and we can always rely on it. It's part of the intelligent design of being human. . . . . #support #mentalhealth #lindseyelliotttransformationalcoach #resiliencecoach #wellbeingcoach

Anxiety is a brilliant feedback mechanism.

Feelings of anxiety & worry are a brilliant feedback mechanism of the body to let us know how fast our thinking is going. We aren’t aware of the vast majority of our thought, it happens at an unconscious level. So it is incredibly useful that we have feelings in our body to reflect what is going on in our heads. Rather than a feeling to be avoided at all costs, what if anxiety is there to wake us up to all the conscious and unconscious noise in our heads? Waking us up to the

Trying to manage your emotions.

You are no doubt experiencing a lot of different emotions right now. Do you feel that you need to ‘do’ something to change these feelings? Especially those you don’t like? Or do you think they mean something important about you and how you are doing? … Somehow we get fooled into believing that if we have a certain emotion, it will last forever. Or that it is showing us something meaningful about us or our circumstances - it means that we aren’t coping or succeeding in life s

Are you feeling mentally exhausted or overwhelmed? I hope this will help.

2020 might be feeling a bit unrelenting. The covid pandemic that we thought might be a few short weeks or months, is still here in our day to day lives. Do you find yourself feeling more mentally tired than normal? Maybe your mood feels generally low or anxious, or you are having trouble sleeping? Or you just feel exhausted a lot of the time? Maybe the uncertainty is feeling really heavy? I have certainly noticed with my clients and friends, an increase in people feeling ment

4 reasons you don't need to fear 'fear'.

“Fear is not real..... It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present, and may not ever, exist. That is near insanity. Do not misunderstand me danger is very real but fear is a choice.” ~ Will Smith. Fear is normal part of the human experience, that everyone feels from time to time, to varying degrees. Whilst it is normal to experience fear, it doesn’t have to stop us doing what we want to with our lives. We innocently misunderstand what

Are you worried about coming out of lockdown?

As we begin to experience an ever-increasing easing of the lockdown restrictions here in the U.K, how are you feeling about it? For some of us, each new lifting of a restriction brings a feeling of excitement, and relief that life is beginning to return to ‘normal’( or maybe a new ‘normal’). It may mean that you are able to reopen your business or get back to work, which will ease things financially for you. Or some of us might be thrilled that at long last we can have a soci

How makeup taught me about reality!

A few days ago I had an insight about makeup. It was quite an innocent, small thought but it led me to see again that what I think isn’t necessarily true. I was thinking about a friend of mine who I know to be confident, grounded, strong, independent and resilient. Yet she always wears quite a lot of makeup. As I was mulling this over, I thought “That makeup must just be hiding insecurity”. And then the next thought that popped into my head was “On some days I wear makeup bec

We are built for this!

I reflect here on how we have adapted and changed to the world situation with covid-19 without much preparation. We as humans have this ability naturally within us to change and grow. We are resilient and adaptable by design, because we are connected to the innate intelligence and wisdom of life. #lindseyelliottwellbeingcoach #resiliencecoach #wellbeingcoach #brightonlifecoach #threeprinciplescoach #insideoutcoaching #threeprinciples #insideoutunderstanding #insideout #anxiet

Simplicity: can life really be simple?

“Voluntary simplicity means going fewer places in one day, rather than more, seeing less so I can see more, doing less so I can do more, acquiring less so I can have more.” ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn Doesn’t modern life sometimes feel pretty complex and full? I have been contemplating simplicity recently after feeling an inner nudge to simplify my life where I can, and to slow down. The current lock down that most of us are experiencing due to covid-19 may be nudging more of us to expl

'What if' thinking and why we can ignore it.

During the Covid-19 pandemic it may feel like there is more uncertainty in the world, and our minds often start to rev up with 'what if' thinking...what if I get sick, what if I lose my job, what if the kids are off school for months....I explore why this thinking isn't useful and why we can ignore it. We have wisdom in the moment to guide us which we can always rely on. #covid19 #covid_19 #coronavirus #lindseyelliottwellbeingcoach #resiliencecoach #wellbeingcoach #brightonli

Guide to supporting the immune system.

It seems that covid-19 (coronavirus) is going to be with us for some time. And the hope of a vaccine is still far from a reality. I have been hesitant to write too much about the virus, as there is already more than enough (too much) information out there. However, I feel that supporting our immune systems in the long term is the best way to help ourselves and our loved ones. With that in mind I have put together this immune support guide. This does NOT replace any advice on

Our attention is one of our most precious resources.

Where we place our attention matters. In this current situation with Covid-19, it feels even more important to decide how much of our attention is going towards this. What we think about we feel...consciously pulling our attention back to the present, and to what we enjoy is vital during this time. I am here for online coaching sessions - if you are feeling stressed, anxious, scared, frustrated, bored....anything really and need some support, please do get in touch. I offer a

A helpful metaphor for problem-solving.

When we have a problem we tend to go to our intellect and think 'harder' about something in order to find a solution. Invariably we feel pretty tense and tight when this happens (as we are always feeling our thinking). When our mind is busy ruminating about a problem, often the 'solution' doesn't appear to us. We end up more frustrated and anxious. I use a helpful metaphor to explain this, and suggest an easier route and place to look for solutions. #lindseyelliottwellbeingco

A fresh view on self-care.

There is a lot of emphasis on self-care today, especially for women. And this a good thing on so many levels. However like most concepts in modern life, even this can feel over complicated or like a pressure. An extra thing to do or achieve. The demands on all of us with work, maintaining a home, looking after kids or relatives, seeing our friends and keeping up with emails, social media and the various ‘notifications’ of our smart phone, can lead to feelings like overwhelm,
