5 Strategies to Beat Burnout

Taking a peek at the plenitude of supplements my clients bring to their first appointments, I am reminded of the quote by Rumi. What is poison?

“Anything that is more than our necessity is poison. It may be power, wealth, hunger, ego, greed, laziness, love, ambition, hate, or anything.”

I am reminded of MYSELF. Someone who for years overcomplicated everything, including health. 

Where are my sisters out there who over-buy supplements?

Where are my friends that overcomplicate their lives with all kinds of health & beauty products thinking that more is better?

Why are we overdoing everything?

I’m telling you, from experience…that this overdoing & overbuying is

Leaving us BURNOUT and BROKE.

Chasing something that will elude us every time.

That is why at Heal Yourself Institute we focus on simplicity and on healing strategies that leave us built up instead of burnout.

So sister… here are a few herbs to help you live more streamlined, simplified and stress-free.

And listen… Just start with one and finish the bottle!

1. Ginseng Siberian

Also called Eleuthero, a potent adaptogen agent used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to replenish and restore QI (one’s energy). Ginseng Siberian can restore health after a long illness, boost the immune system, ease fatigue and lift the mood.  This herb is commonly used in Chinese medicine to help the spleen. In Chinese Medicine, the spleen separates the “pure” from the “impure.”  It has an extraordinary ability to extract nutrients from food.

2. Schizandra

One of my personal favorites. Known in the east to promote beauty, intelligence, wisdom, and longevity. It is the ultimate tonic herb. It is great for women to support mental power and memory. It has an exceptional ability to help generate beautiful skin and support healthy aging. 

3. Ashwagandha

A potent plant ally in Ayurvedic Medicine for increasing vitality. This plant can boost immunity, ease anxiety, lift the mood and ease minor aches and pains. Ashwagandha is great at relieving tension and helping those who are tired during the day and wired at night.

4. Holy Basil

Also known as Tusli, this herb is treasured in India. It is considered a tonic, invigorating herb and valuable for improving vitality. It has been shown to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol. It has impressive benefits of helping to improve patience and clearing the mind. Holy Basil’s ability to clear mental fog, cloudy thinking, poor memory, and ADHD is impressive.

5. Rhodiola

A powerful herb with effects noticed soon after supplementation. This herb helps to increase strength, stamina, and mental energy. This herb has beneficial effects on fatigue, mood, and the immune system.

It is one of the herbs I use with clients who struggle with burnout, fatigue, and overwork. 

What if the answer to living with more energy, passion, purpose, and health lies in the power of our capacity as women to step into alignment with what our bodies need?

And just do that ONE THING at a time?

So remember The DOSE is either The POISON or the MEDICINE.
