Freedom From Stress And Overwhelm With The 3 Principles

With Clare Downham

What if stress and overwhelm aren’t flaws to fix but signals pointing toward a quieter truth? If you’re feeling mentally exhausted, emotionally stretched, or stuck in overthinking, this course offers gentle insight and lasting relief. Rooted in the 3 Principles understanding, these sessions invite you to see your experience in a new light, one that doesn’t rely on managing thoughts or mastering tools, but on reconnecting with what’s already true within you. You’ll explore how clarity arises naturally, why perfectionism and control innocently fuel exhaustion, and how emotional intensity softens when we stop resisting it. Rather than adding more to do, this course gently subtracts what’s been in the way of your peace. This space is especially supportive if you’re navigating burnout, self-doubt, decision fatigue, or the pressure to hold everything together. It’s also a powerful complement if you’ve tried mindfulness or self-help practices but long for something simpler and more sustainable. Each lesson includes a quiet reminder of how your experience is being shaped, and a reflection to help you see through your own insight. You don’t need to change yourself, just see what was never broken. If you're longing for calm, clarity, and relief from the noise, you're warmly invited to explore.

I constantly go into meaning making when I feel a bit off. I end up with a mind of negative fear based thoughts. I am learning to just let them move through. Claire explains things so that I can feel the calm in my body even when I am not feeling my best and that it’s ok it’s just passing through! Truly grateful for these inspirational lessons.
