The days fly by with all you have to do. But even so, you feel that you lack hours for what you would like to do.
You try to cope with everything, but there just don’t seem to be enough hours in the day. You are running from one task to another, from one meeting to another, from one commitment to another. It seems like you’re stuck in a hamster wheel where you can’t stop running. But no matter how hard you run, you can’t seem to reach the goal. The day does not have enough hours for everything you want and must do. But maybe you have normalised living fast-paced and in that constant tension.
Like a juggler you try to keep all the balls in the air. You like to feel like a ‘superwoman’ who has everything under control and has a solution for everything. That’s why it stresses you when there are things beyond your control.
You feel like you constantly have to prove yourself and give more than 100%. Therefore, you put continuous pressure on yourself to deliver a perfect job and leave nothing pending. Long work hours may have become the norm.
You are always brooding over ideas and possible solutions. When you finish working, you think about what has remained undone, about what you could have done better, about how to solve this problem or about ideas for that project.
On your days off, you keep checking to see if everything is going well at the office. You may even think that it would stress you more to disconnect from work.
You may have normalised feeling exhausted every day. With the pace of life today and the demands of work, it is normal to be stressed, right? With so much to do, it’s normal for your batteries to run out, right?
⦠but what about you? In your constant concern to make others feel good and solve their problems, you usually come last. You think that you will take time to take care of yourself when you have tackled this or that. But in the end, you never find the moment.
Ā
We have become used to normalising stress and the feeling of not coping with everything on a personal and professional level. For this reason, we do not take a halt to think and take actions to free ourselves from our limitations.
Time is limited, but we all have the same hours in the day. The question is how we use them. At the end of your life, how do you want to be remembered? For the many hours you’ve worked? Because of how much you have overworked yourself, putting your well-being and health at risk? That you never found enough time for your loved ones? That you neglected your interests and hobbies?
I invite you to reflect on what you would not like to regret. We only have one life. So, we rather make the most of it and live fully and happily, don’t you think?
The pressures of today’s world and our jobs encourage us to give more and more, to work more and more. But how about working better, instead of more? How about turning from a simple worker bee to a productive homo sapiens who makes good decisions? Feeling fulfilled in your work does not have to be at odds with having time for your interests and taking care of yourself.
Feel more confident and fulfilled in your professional and personal life. Feel that you take advantage of the days and live more fully.
To do this, I propose a four-month individual and personalised mentoring programme.
In just one month you will already have gained clarity about the imbalances in your life, and you will have taken actions to align your lifestyle with what you really want.
We will work on four pillars:
Find out what really matters to you. Establish your personal and professional priorities. Align your day to day with your priorities in order to create the life you want. Increase your satisfaction, feeling that your days are more productive.
Discover habits and beliefs that limit you in some way and do not let you enjoy your life and live it fully and happily. Gain self-confidence by increasing your self-awareness. Complete your personal ‘toolbox’ with tools, techniques, and soft and social skills to better face the challenges of your life.
All the above will lead you towards a more balanced and serene life. But, in addition, you will find out what specifically stresses you and what to do about it. You will learn techniques to relax and feel better. You will learn to disconnect from work without feeling guilty, to enjoy more and make better use of your free time
You plug in your mobile phone when you see that it is running out of battery. You leave it charged when you plan to give it a lot of use. Learn to do the same with yourself: to monitor your energy levels and replenish your batteries on time. To organise your time according to your levels of energy and concentration.
We’ll also review together the tools you use to organise yourself and adapt them to fit you, your lifestyle, as well as your personal and professional needs. In this way you will gain a greater sense of control and more serenity, and you will better disconnect from work.
We will discuss your situation and how I can help you. We will confirm if we make a good fit to work together. Trust is essential in this process so that you can get the most out of it.

Making time for new things in our busy lives can seem complicated. But does this phrase ring a bell? There is no lack of time, there is a lack of interest. Ask yourself how important you are to yourself. How much interest do you have in improving your situation and gaining more time for what really matters to you, in order to feel more confident and serene?
The sessions are 90 minutes so that you can get the most out of them and get tangible results in your life quickly. But we will have them every two weeks. This way you will have enough time to assimilate everything, work on the exercises and translate what you have learned into your life. Give yourself this time for yourself to enjoy the rest of your life more fulfilment, satisfaction, confidence, balance, and serenity.
Of course not. You know what you like and what you don’t. You know the way you are. Often, we just need someone to ask us the right questions to come up with the solution ourselves. Also, whenever it is useful to you, I will share my knowledge and experiences and suggest solutions. All this, so that you can try and choose the techniques and tools that best suit your way of being, your lifestyle and your work.
I don’t have a magic pill. But I will put all my effort into guiding you and helping you to bring out your potential and to head towards your best version. Of course, you will have to do your part and dedicate time to yourself for this to happen. A four-month program allows you to gradually make improvements and establish new habits.
