COURSE
With Clare Downham
Do you find it easier to be kind to everyone except yourself? Perhaps you keep pushing when your body is asking you to stop, say yes when something feels heavy, or turn every decision into another thing to overthink. You may know you are exhausted and still hear a voice insisting that you should be doing more. This does not mean you are failing at self-care. Your quieter guidance may simply have become covered by noise. The journey from overthinking and overwhelm to calm, clarity and ease sits at the heart of Clare’s work. Being kind to yourself is an important part of that journey. Kindness is often presented as another list of things to do. Rest more. Say no. Set better boundaries. Make time for yourself. Goodness gracious, even kindness can become another thing to get right. Through a gentle exploration of the 3 Principles, this course offers a different perspective. Kindness is not found in a particular action. Sometimes it is kind to rest and sometimes it is kind to go dancing. Sometimes it is kind to say no and sometimes it is kind to say yes. It is not about the doing. It is about the feeling beneath the doing. You will be invited to listen more closely to your body, loosen your relationship with the inner critic and see tiredness, tension and overwhelm differently. Rather than treating them as personal failings, you may begin to recognise them as signals that you have become caught in noisy thinking. This course is especially supportive for high-achieving professionals and business owners who feel overwhelmed, behind or exhausted from pushing themselves. It is not another self-improvement project or a strict set of rules to follow. It is a gentle invitation to reconnect with the calm, clarity and kindness that are already within you. Take your time and allow the ideas to settle. As overthinking softens, your own wisdom becomes easier to hear and life can begin to feel a whole lot easier.
