Watch the interview with Mental Fitness Coach & DPT Emily Wallace and then do the exercise to uncover the thought patterns keeping you stuck in the burnout cycle on high.
Thank you 🙏🏼 Terrific framework for exposing our thoughts/patterns/beliefs (the saboteurs I call my Monkeys), how they operate in the shadows to steal our joy and wellbeing. So helpful and affirming as I re-route my Restless Monkey back to my Sage (what I call Soul) so I can edit my graphic novel on this exact subject! Grateful.
Finally had a chance to listen to this. Restless was definitely the primary one for me, hyper-achiever, and pleaser are other predominant ones. The way it came up for me this week was in the length of my to do list even though I was sick (and my husband was home and totally willing to take care of things). My first impression is that this relates to the idea that I can’t trust my body’s signals, but I want to reflect on that more because I think there's more to it. Like a lot of it feels like my natural curiosity taken too far. I can even make my baths productive :) I also found myself wondering if there is a relationship between these nine saboteurs and Enneagram. I see some parallels with at least a few of the types.

ooh the Restless Monkey!!I feel like I know her. Love it and can't wait for the graphic novel!!
Yesss! Didn't I hear you claim the Restless saboteur in your recording?
In my book, this family of Monkeys is called Distractors 🐒 They tempt you away from the scary stuff into All the Things. Can you relate?
Yes!

Ugh I have a hard time letting other people help too. I hope you’re feeling better!
And I feel you on learning to trust your body’s signals — I feel like it took me years to re-learn to recognize them!
I don’t know a ton about the enneagram — I need to look it up! Sounds right tho. Maybe the enneagram is the light to the dark side of the saboteurs
Wow, can't wait to listen to this. 💗💗💗
