Here's a secret: self-compassion does not make you weak or lazy. 

There's a misconception that you need to be tough on yourself to maintain focus as you move toward your goals. On the contrary, research shows that self-compassionate people aim just as high as self-critical people do. The difference is that self-compassionate people don't fall apart when, as sometimes happens, they don't meet their desired result.

Instead of expecting your disparaging inner critic to be waiting in the wings if you fail, turn instead to offer yourself words of kindness and support while you work your way toward your goal.

It's hard to maintain a sense of calm when you're juggling a deadline at work, a weekly calendar full of meetings, and ongoing family responsibilities. 

If your emotions are threatening to send you over the edge, try to identify exactly what you're feeling.

Stress is different from anxiety and anger is different from frustration.

Correctly labeling your emotion is the first step to achieving greater balance.

Just show up. You don't have to always get it right or be a perfect person. 

You DO have to be willing to show up to your uncomfortable feeling and say,"You're here. I'm here. Let's talk."

When we show up to our difficult feelings, we prime ourselves to anticipate pitfalls and prepare more effective coping methods for critical moments.

Let's try the emotional agility stress-buster.

Scenario: You often get stressed out when faced with a long to-do list.

1. Give yourself the space to simply feel that way. Say it, whether out loud, or in your head: "Okay, this is my go-to reaction when I have a heavy workload. I am feeling stressed." 

2. "I still have the power to decide how to act in this moment. I will choose not to snap at my coworker, because I value kindness." 

3. This stress is telling me to divide my work and approach it one step at a time instead of getting overwhelmed by everything at once. 

4. "I am feeling stressed, but I am not defined by my stress." 

How'd it go?

Display rules are the lessons we teach our kids about what is and is not an appropriate emotional response to any given situation. 

A display rule might manifest itself through a directive like “Buck up! Boys don’t cry,” which signals to a child that uncomfortable emotions are signs of weakness and to be avoided. This kind of response deprives a child of the critically important opportunity to sit with their feelings. 

It’s critical—because over time, the way we talk about emotions becomes the way they talk to themselves. These early lessons shape their coping strategies, wellbeing, and adaptability for life.

I help you prevent burnout by cultivating a renewed mindset and a sustainable life rhythm. Coach | Speaker | Facilitator of workshops 🇳🇴🇺🇸

Kjenner du på slitenhet, hverdags stress, en økende følelse av dårlig samvittighet og en opplevelse av å ikke strekke til?

Er takten i hamsterhjulet stadig raskere og det kjennes som om du går på autopilot for å henge med? 

Ønsker du en hverdag hvor du er mer tilstede i nuet, har overskudd og kjenner på mestring både jobb og privat?

Da kan jeg hjelpe deg 🤍

I underkant av 700.000 dagsverk gikk tapt i Norge i 2017 på grunn av slitenhet, i 2022 var tallet steget til over 1,3 millioner.

Dette er ikke bærekraftig for individer, organisasjoner eller samfunn. 

Tematikken er kompleks, og handler om mer enn arbeidsplassfaktorer. Vi er 24 timers mennesker hvor relasjoner, fortid, personlig sammensettning og samfunnet som helhet bidrar med sitt til at stress setter seg i kroppen og over tid fører til utbrenhet når det ikke blir håndtert. 

Det er her jeg bidrar, i dette utrolige viktige arbeidet med å bevisstgjøre og forebygge.

- bistå enkeltindivider og virksomheter med å bevege seg fra sliten til robust ved å utvikle bærekraftige livsrytmer.

Er du leder eller medarbeider, med et ønske om å håndtere stresset og slitenheten i livet ditt, da kan jeg hjelpe deg. 

I møte med deg tar jeg med min erfaringskompetanse som utbrent, forskning, coachingverktøy og 10 års erfaring med å hente frem ressurser og gjøre andre gode fra mitt arbeid innenfor HR.

                             🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃
 

«At my most vulnerable, Beates’s thoughtful, warm and gentle coaching prrogram took me by the hand and guided me into insights about myself, exposed unhelpful thought patterns and how to change these into empowering viewpoints on who I am and who I can become. For anyone of the brink of, or already in burnout, I can earnestly and strongly recommend contacting her to get encouragement and guidance into better strength and self nurture, making you once again ready to face life head on». 
- Fanney F. 


"We commissioned a two-hour interactive session with Beate on life-work rhythm for our Annual Retreat. This session generated a lot of fruitful discussions and brought together people from across the organisation that otherwise would rarely have conversed. And even better, it seems that this openness continued throughout the rest of the retreat, with more mingling and networking than we typically see. It was exactly what we were hoping for." 
- Kristin Alsvik, Director of Organisation Development, Simula Research Lab
