What If Worries - Tackling the Anxiety That Comes From Uncertainty

After delivering a series of sessions on both positive coping and sleep improvement, one thing that has become apparent is just how the uncertain times we are experiencing (at time of writing the easing of the COVID19 restrictions and the unknowns this presents), are creating anxiety in many of us. I have found that we can become preoccupied and weighed down by what I call, the ‘What if Worries.’ ‘What if this happens,’ ‘What I lose…’, What if my parent catches COVID’ and so on. These are genuine worries and it is important not to minimise the impact of the worries in a bid to reassure ourselv ..read more

Feeling Like Lockdown Short Haul changed to Long Haul? Coping with loneliness and isolation is increasingly featuring in my conversations with clients. Whether coaching one-to-one, or discussing the importance of supporting staff wellbeing with HR professionals, it is clear that our perception of the ongoing COVID19 restrictions is shifting. The initial 'lockdown' could be viewed as a turbulent and bumpy flight to southern Europe. It was going to take a few hours, but we could see an end to it and had our sights set on the destination. Now, however, that same flight seems to have been re-route ..read more

daily sprout 500 Today's daily sprout  transcript: - It's the end, but not really. Well, we're at 500 Daily Sprouts, and this is my point where I complete and finish. The Daily Sprout is no more. But here's the thing. It's been a mammoth effort, it's been a lot of planning, a lot of support from Steve, behind the camera, from Gudrun, who's helped me with a lot of preparing, and organising, and writing of these Daily Sprouts. It's been a lot of effort. Do you know what the temptation is, though? It's for me to skip forward to the next thing. To the Man Sprout Project and focus on what I'm ..read more

daily sprout 499 daily sprout transcript (focusing on why we actually move to positive action when the pain of not changing is too great): It's not being brave. When I was working as a police officer full time shift and running my business, and striving to leave the place in order to fulfil my dreams and go for what I wanted, people would come up to me and say, ah Dave, you're so brave for wanting go do that, for wanting to leave this job, for wanting to pursue your dreams. And do you know what? I never saw it as brave. I saw it as, I had no option. Because the risks and the pain that might I ..read more

Anxiety does not control me

daily sprout 498 They are not winning now Transcript from today's daily sprout: They're not winning now. Yesterday I reflected on the fact that there was more to life than stress. There was a time when stress and anxiety were winning over me. I'm not cured by a long shot. I'm a human being, and I've said before, permission to be human. I have my ups and downs. I have my emotional turmoils and my emotional highs, but now, stress is not winning. I'm winning. I have done the work, and I am doing the work to make sure that stress is in its place. That it's there as a signal for when I'm overdoing ..read more

daily sprout 497 Todays' daily sprout  transcript:  There is more to life than stress. This is something so important to remember, it's what's fuelled and motivated me to deliver the work I do and do these videos. It can at times feel like stress is the only thing that is bearing down on us, that it's the only thing in life but do you know what? It's not. I spent a lot of years churning in the turmoil of anxiety feeling stressed out at the smallest of things and battling my way out of that and it's still at times a tough thing to remind myself. That's why it's The Stressed Guru, tha ..read more

Why I do the daily sprout

daily sprout  496 Todays' daily sprout  transcript: - Why I do a Daily Sprout. We're getting to 500 Daily Sprouts. I thought I'd just do a couple of reflections on why I even embarked on this. This journey of Daily Sprouts were provoked by one key thing, when I deliver workshops, when I speak, whenever I write blogs, I always find there's so much more we can do. We often get bogged down in what we can't do with stress and yet there are so many things we can do and I wanted to share that, I wanted share it in bite-sized chunks to get it into your inbox so that it flashes up first thi ..read more

Want To's and Have To's

daily sprout 494 Todays' daily sprout  transcript: The want tos and the have tos. I often think in terms of the things I want to have or do in life and the things I have to do in life. Let's be right, it's made up of both. The challenge is and I think the temptation is that we get so bothered by life at times that we just forget the want tos and we end up just doing what we have to do and we give up on the want tos. The thing is, there'll always be have tos. The way that I like to look at it is how do I align the have tos so that I can end up doing the want tos. You'll always have things ..read more
