Don’t quit! How to overcome overwhelm - build your resilience & grit so you are 'all in' at both work & home – wherever you are!

The laptop falls to the kitchen floor – “that’s IT! I’m DONE! I’m OFF!”

This is pretty much a regular scenario now in homes across the world ...

Overwhelm. The great resignation. We are leaving sour relationships, unfulfilling jobs, toxic work environments in our millions. Left, right and centre, over the last 18 months an overarching theme of overwhelm is leading us to reflect, reconsider, and re-evaluate our lives

We are picking different choices in an attempt to rid ourselves of this feeling of overwhelm – and often the choices we start with are the obvious ones – new job, new partner, new routine, (new laptop!)

What we often don’t start with, when we feel so overwhelmed – is building our mental strength

Which is ironic really – because actually – when we start our new job, our new relationship, our new routine – wouldn’t we want to start from a position of mental strength?

Because if we don’t – guess what – in 6 months time, that feeling of overwhelm might just still be there! 

I mean… how many times have you changed jobs and 3 weeks in, realised the toxic leadership you ran away from, seem to have changed their names, and their outfits, and are running your new company?

How many times have you started new relationships and realised you don’t have enough time or energy for this relationship either, so this one is going down the pan, yet again 

How many times have you enthusiastically started a new routine and given up on day 4, yet again?

So maybe, just maybe – we are starting from the wrong place – maybe if we start with building mental strength – all of our choices might be a bit stronger and longer-lasting? Maybe we can deal with the overwhelm if we build our mental strength?

Mental strength is the new zeitgeist - learning on the fly, mastering ambiguity, bouncing back from adversity, reinvigorating, rebalancing and reinventing

Building mental strength is great if we are successful on the outside yet feeling wonky on the inside. It is great if we see ourselves as ambitious and determined to achieve our personal and professional potential yet overwhelmed by the expectations and demands of our work and home life. Building our mental muscles will teach us how to build mental strength and balance

So, if you too feel like quitting - overwhelmed, conflicted and torn between your work and home life - maybe a good place to start, before quitting – is to build your mental strength – the thing is – how?

Because we could see that so many people don’t have the insights, frameworks and tools to build their mental strength - we created an Upskill (our name for a course/masterclass) called ‘Mental muscles’. The Mental muscles Upskill focuses on mental strength and balance

We have used our experience of working with over 14,000 super talented people over the last 20+ years as both a learning architect and CEO level coach in global organisations, to create this Upskill. To make it easy to access, it includes pre-recorded video content – like a podcast with pictures - divided into easy to listen to or watch, bite-sized chunks – so you can listen on the way to work, when you go for a run, or even whilst walking the dog!

There are 5-6 hours of content made up of sparky deep insights, simple practical frameworks and handy transforming tools designed to help you build your mental strength

To support and inspire you - after you have completed the Upskill - you get to experience a personal follow up 121 Mentor call with a Progressfull™ Mentor (a Zoom or audio call of your choosing) to crystallise actions and insights

To really help you show up and build your mental strength, understand yourself more and privately unlock your own personal insights we provide you with purposeful self-reflection exercises for you to apply - at home, at work, in your whole life

These purposeful self-reflection exercises are in a beautiful 50+ page printed Upskill Journal, as well as a downloadable Upskill Journal – designed for you to note your thoughts and insights, actions and achievements

Because we know that real change happens over time, with small steps, taken consistently and regularly - all the material in the Upskill has been designed for you to come back to, in future hours, days, weeks, months and even years – this is incredibly powerful. This focussed time to continually, purposefully self-reflect is a fundamental part of what it is to have a progressfull mind-set. You will learn that being progressfull is key to showing up and building mental strength – and we encourage you to do this in just 10 minutes – yes 10 minutes! Because small steps can make a big difference!

Mental muscles gives you the practical tools and insights to show up and build your mental strength so you can overcome the overwhelm, mentally thrive – and quit quitting!
