The Rushing Woman Syndrome – Is This You?

May 23, 2014/ Caroline Zwickson

Rushing Woman Syndrome... what a term. Let me explain:

Do you feel like you are constantly rushing around? Do you never have enough time? Always on the verge of running late? Sending emails with grammatical mistakes? Forgetting things? Short-tempered even with those you love? Are you a total time-optimist?

Personally (& I know many of you feel similarly), I have tried out a lot of different diets, "miracle cures" etc. in my life already. I just wanted to believe in them so badly that my filter for what made sense and what was totally ridiculous was somehow off. I remember a time in my early-mid 20s when I was obsessed with trying to lose weight and as a result ate only very specific -dare I say sugar-free, non-fat, fake crap- foods. The result was not only more pounds on the scale, but worse: tons of anxiety, irritability, sleep problems, and so forth. Sound familiar to anyone?

The art of ZOOMING OUT. Releasing stress & anxiety with this simple visualization

April 22, 2014/ Caroline Zwickson

I consider myself being pretty good about taking good care of myself and managing my stress levels in a way that leaves me feeling energized and happy at the end of the day. However, I am no genius either and sometimes I do get sucked into these vicious cycles of rushing-hustling-worrying-stressing-shallow breathing-tensing up messiness that feels good to absolutely nobody.

I learned something about STRESS that I really want you to know about

April 08, 2014/ Caroline Zwickson

Ohhh STRESS… I don’t think anyone can doubt that stress is one of those key areas in our lives that needs serious addressing.

We tell ourselves that it’s only this week, this event, this project, this time of year… but once that’s over, we will be able to relax… except that then something else pops up.
