Behind the urge to be constantly overstimulated lies a chronically low energy state.
Have a think about that.
I often make mention of this to popular Liverpool Live Radio broadcaster Roy Basnett (pictured) in my regular appearances on his show.
Maybe try to do 75% of what you think you can do now the Christmas period is over, whether it’s work or life and try and carry that into the rest of 2025 and beyond.
I can be guilty at times but having an awareness of how to avoid it has been huge for me.
I also use the breath to create both awareness of this and to help me to practice rather than just preach about managing overwhelm.
