Frazzled The Podcast

I'm in Kerala on my annual yoga retreat, and this episode comes as a result of not getting what I asked for the childish strop that materialised, and the learning and calm that followed. Sometimes in not getting what we want we can become stressed and move from fabulous to FRAZZLED, when in fact what we receive might be better for us in the long run.   www.kellyswingler.com   #FRAZZLED #...

This episode has been recorded at the request of one of my regular listeners and I'm delighted to have been able to record this for them. I share what I do to look after myself and how I create balance in my self-care, life, and work. I talk about my pre-burnout routine, what I introduced after Burnout, and how I've recently learned and benefitted from tuning in, paying attention, and doing less!...

This year to help me start a new (birth) year, I had a mammoth day of reflections, 6 hours of journalling and planning. And in this episode, I'm sharing the questions I asked, the two wheels of life and work, and some of the things that I surprised myself with. The day definitely helped me to be less FRAZZLED and a LOT more fabulous for the year ahead - enjoy!   www.kellyswingler.com   #...

This week is a different kind of conversation as I share with you two apps and one book that have made a huge difference to my body and mind over the last few weeks. Other than the benefits to me, I'm not getting any money or any benefits in sharing these with you, but I think sometimes we can all share what's working well in case it works well for others. www.kellyswingler.com #BurnoutPrevention...

I've been off work for 5 weeks, and whilst I've caught up on reading, sleep, rest, time with family and friends, and just having some much-needed downtime, why did I need to force myself to stop working? And what was the benefit of me doing so? Find out in this week's episode of FRAZZLED #AntiBurnoutLife #LifeBalance #KellySwingler #TimeOut www.kellyswingler.com

How much time and energy are you wasting, trying to be who you're not? How often do you dull your sparkle so that you don't make others feel bad? How often do you stop yourself from saying or doing what you want because you worry about what others will think? How is being less, contributing to your low energy and high stress? It's time for you to start with who! Who are you? Be more of the real yo...

Inspired by the greatest hits of the '80's this week I'm talking to you about why it's not what you do that matters, but the way that you do it that counts. And, how by doing things differently and in a way that works for you, you could be less FRAZZLED and moving yourself further away from Burnout. kellyswingler.com     #Burnout #BurnoutPrevention #AntiBurnout #AntiBurnoutLife #AntiBurn...

In this episode, I'm talking about 8 truths about life that are easy to miss, AND that could be leaving you feeling FRAZZLED, burned out, and exhausted. As our stress levels rise, we start to compare ourselves even more to others, and we think they have it all together, they don't! Some are just great at showing the highlight reel and pretending it's all perfect! #Burnout #BurnoutPrevention #Truth...

This isn't a ploy to get you to stop drinking alcohol, but I share with you in this episode what happened when I stopped focusing on what I was losing by quitting drinking, and instead focused on what I would gain, by stopping drinking. How many times when you've considered making a change, have you focused on all of the things you'll miss? Has doing so helped you move forward or kept pulling you...

Comparison can add to our stress, make us push harder, and leave us feeling unworthy, and whilst a little bit of healthy competition is good for us all, it's not when it starts to impact our health. The incredible Jamie Kern Lima is launching her second book WORTHY later this year, I've pre-ordered it and I can't wait to read it, PLUS a ton of bonus goodies. A second book, also called WORTHY is be...

Who do you have supporting you? How do they raise your energy? How do they make you look good? Are you taking centre stage in your own life? And how do you ensure that your energy levels are always a priority? I'm asking this and more, in this week's episode of FRAZZLED, inspired by, Pink, and attending her fabulous Summer Carnival in Hyde Park this past weekend. It was a scorcher, heat, and perfo...

Do you create time in your day, week, month, or year to reflect? Time to look back or to plan forward? How often do you just keep going, with no real clue as to whether what you're doing is actually the right thing, or if it's adding any value? I reflect regularly, and this past weekend something unexpected came up, that's making me stop, dig deep, and see what comes up. What could change for you?...

"It will only take you 10 minutes" The time it takes to do the thing, isn't always right is it? Because what about the planning, the preparation, the thought, the distractions, and everything else that goes on around it? What would be different for you if you really considered just how much time, energy, and attention it takes to do the thing? Last week I spoke in Athens. I was on stage for two ho...

Many of us wear the perfectionist badge proudly, for years, but what if striving for perfection is leading us to Burnout? The quest for perfection is largely driven by fear. Fear of not being good enough, fear of not being enough, fear of failing, and in some cases, a fear of success. If we can eliminate our need to be perfect, can we also take one stape back from Burnout? I'm talking about this a...

This week I'm exploring resilience. So many organisations are focused on building resilience, but what does it really mean and can we measure its effectiveness? Do our numbing and avoidance techniques help us build resilience? And is resilience an avoidance technique in organisations to avoid dealing with real issues? I'm discussing this, and more in this week's episode and I'd love to hear your t...

What if, you stopped worrying about the future and focused on the now? What if you let yourself play and experiment instead of worrying about failing? What if you allowed yourself to be less FRAZZLED and to focus more on yourself? What if you allowed to play with possibilities and let go of the stress? I'm asking you this and more, as well as helping you to trust your gut feeling that little bit m...

Rest, we feel we got to earn it, work harder for it, or be ill to have it. We don't. And if you're anything like me, who struggles with 'doing nothing' but does need rest, I'm sharing with you in this episode the 7 types of rest AND, why you do NOT need to earn your rest in order to take it. Make it a daily thing!!

Have you ever overlooked something, or thought you'd done something, only to find out that you hadn't? We've all been there right?!? How did you deal with it? How did you talk to yourself? What did you do about it? This week, the podcast is late. On Tuesday when I went to promote it, it wasn't there. How did I feel? What did I do about it? And how can these lessons help you in your life and work?

Ever been to the gym once and achieved optimal levels of fitness? Ever meditated once and achieved enlightenment? No, neither have I. So why do we pay more attention every day to charging our phones and keeping our cars topped up than we do on daily and consistent practices that stop us from being frazzled, overworked, overwhelmed, and on the brink of Burnout? You are not a car, or a phone, you ar...

As you're coming through Burnout you feel lost, confused, and frustrated because youdon't know you are, and you begin to crave who you were pre-Burnout. You also know, that who you were before your Burnout, was responsible for your Burnout. So you don't want to be that person again either. So what now? Who now? What next? Who next? I'm discussing this with you in today's episode of FRAZZLED the po...

We all procrastinate at times, but why? Procrastination, just like perfection is driven by fear, but we can find ways to overcome procrastination that will save us time, energy, and effort. Want to know how? Listen to this latest episode of FRAZZLED to find out more.

I'm often asked how I get so much done, and today I want to share that with you. I've reached Burnout twice, and I don't mean just feeling burned out and exhausted, I mean Burnout, chronic stress. And this resulted in two physical and one mental serious health condition. I'm still driven, and passionate, and want to do more to help others, build my business, and Banish Burnout. And I do achieve a...

So many people that I speak to want to be better at managing their time, or just hope that some extra time will jump into their diary, but what if how you run your day, isn't actually about your time, but your energy? Do you know what gives you energy and what drains your energy? Do you know where you could save yourself time? Are you aware of how much time you are giving to others out of obligati...

In this episode, I share with you why it's important to be an active participant in your life rather than a passive one if you want to live a happier and healthier life. Life may certainly be different if we could all sit in meditation all day willing our wildest dreams and ambitions into existence, but the truth is, we need to act if we want things to change. So it's time to stop hoping for thing...
