Overcoming Overwhelm Newsletter – Jan 2012

I hope you’ve all enjoyed a relaxing and restful Festive Season. It seems even to me that only yesterday we were in the middle of winter!

How quickly time flies along, you blink at a few months roll by. How long since your last visit? You might be surprised!
Now, I have some ‘unpleasant news’- after maintaining my prices for over 18 months, the time has come to raise them.
All sessions will now be $85, BUT there’s a way around it! Keep reading…
Why not make 2012 ‘The Year of PROACTIVELY Taking Care of YOU”? Clients make faster progress when they ‘don’t wait until they fall in a heap’ to visit.
To encourage rebooking, I’m offering a $10 discount to all who make their next appt when in clinic. And remember, I do have packages available too, just ask for details.

Do you like my photo? It’s a gorgeous butterfly that spent the whole day escaping the heatwave on our front porch. We even put down a plate of water and watched it drink!
It doesn’t take much sometimes to make a difference.
Remember you can always come onboard my Facebook page www.facebook.com/overcoming.overwhelm Check it out for tips, quotes, laughs and all-round helpful advice on Overcoming Overwhelm!

What I’ve Been Up To.

Well, apart from helping lots of people de-stress, I’ve had quite a literary time recently. I was asked to proof-read a book, and then contribute to another!
One has been released already.
‘A Modern Woman’s Guide to A Natural Empowering Birth’ is a great book for anyone who’s expecting a baby.
Beautifully presented, easy to read and full of ‘real-life’ stories, hints and tips, I have copies of this book available for $34.95.
Hopefully the other book won’t be too far away either. It’s so lovely to help others make their dreams come true.

Summer is here, School will be Back Soon too!
As parents we want the best for our kids, whatever that is. Why not get this year off to a great start by ‘Tuning up’ your kids, hormones, changes of routine or class, can all affect learning. A Kinesiology consult can ‘nip these issues in the bud’. Kids just lap up Kinesiology, it fascinates and empowers them, they can really feel it and I love having kids on my treatment bed.

Technology is Taking Over.
Now this might interest my ‘far away’ clients, whether that’s an hour’s drive away, or the other side of the world away-
I am now offering Energy Healing sessions via email or phone. Using the principles of Reiki and Kinesiology, you can have the benefits without needing to visit me in person.
Being both ‘Energy Modalities’, my healing sessions can be ‘sent’ much like an email, why not try it out?
Ring 0437 601 550 or email me at rj@stitt.com.au to find out more about distant sessions.

Top 10 Things people Want to Change about Themselves

e-newsletter from Robyn Stitt, Overwhelm Consultant 0437 601 550

Here we are again- this month’s photo is of a very ‘Aussie’ slightly bent- but- still -standing –up ‘Out House’ taken down at Milang.
I often think of this image when a client comes in saying they ‘Just don’t feel quite right’. Still functioning, but don’t push too hard or I might just fall into a big heap of rubble.
How far could you be pushed right now without falling over?
It is important here to remember that each of us is different and what one may survive, another might find challenging. Ah, the complexities of the human being.

I can help you build your coping strategies, read your situation and become more adaptable in your life.

The Top 10 Things People Often Want to Change About Themselves

Recently on my FaceBook Page Overcoming Overwhelm on Facebook, I invited my fans to think about what the Top 10 things would be that people want to change about themselves.
The results were interesting and a little off the mark. So now I’ll set the record straight and put a few people out of their ‘thinking misery’.

1- Be free (or at least have a reduction) of aches and pains. Remember pain in the body is a message trying to be heard and often all drugs do is make the message have to get louder. (revisit last month’s post if you need a reminder on messages)

2- Feel better about themselves. Self-esteem is a huge issue for so many people. It may be in just one part of your life, but it may be wider reaching than that too. Think how you would be if you had the confidence to do whatever you wanted.

3-Their bodies- lose weight, gain shape, be taller, more attractive. To be happy in your own skin is a wonderful feeling.

4-Focus- being able to give your full attention to something and see it through to completion. By not allowing distractions to sway you from your task, you will achieve more.

5-Releasing fears- fear of failure, fear of success, fear of spiders, heights, crowds. Fears stop you doing things. What could you achieve if there was no fear?

6- To have more energy- I’d really like to do that but I can’t be bothered, I’m so tired. If energy was no boundary, what would you do today?

7- Be sure of themselves- to doubt is to hesitate, playing the ‘what-if’ game. Imagine knowing what you want and going for it.

8- Have clear boundaries (and sticking to them) - if you mean NO, say NO. Don’t allow yourself to be persuaded or bullied into doing something you really don’t want to do.

9- To not feel guilty about everything- you can’t please everyone in the world, so please the most important one- YOU!

10- Generally function better- to have your body operating at its peak- getting the most out of what you eat, having good quality sleep, enjoying life.

And you know what?
Most of these issues can be addressed using Kinesiology, Reiki or a combination of both.

What would you like to change about yourself?


Anyone been watching the Soccer World Cup?….

A lot has been said about the quality of the refereeing (especially for the Australian games) at this year’s World Cup. But let’s just think about it for a while.
It depends on who the rostered referee is for any particular game. It depends on which team you are supporting. It could even depend on the day!

To be truly fair, all the games should be ‘reffed’ by the same referee for consistency’s sake. But that is a logistical nightmare and the competition would take months, not weeks.
And just like the soccer, life isn’t always the ‘best case scenario’ is it? We have to play our cards (the situations and circumstances we find ourselves in) to the best of our ability. Sure better cards would be nice, but there might not be any to be had right now.

Does whinging about it change what’s happened, change your cards, change the referee’s decision? No, but changing the way you observe the situation sure can alter how you feel about the whole thing. Pull your socks up and keep going. Make the best of whatever situation you are in, do your best and then next round, you might just get that unbeatable deal you’ve been after for a while.

If you find yourself ‘seeing the world through grey tinted glasses’, maybe a visit to the ‘outlook optometrist’ might just alter you view of things. I’m not expecting anyone to go all ‘rosy’ on me, but to be objective and see the world as it truly is (reality).

This month’s quote…
"Attitudes are contagious. Is yours worth catching?” Thanks to Liz for that one.

Small Stresses become Overwhelming- Overcoming Overwhelm Newsletter – December 2009


e-newsletter from Robyn Stitt, Overwhelm Consultant 0437 601 550


Hi again!

Can you believe it’s December already? Functions, parties call us and add to our busy lifestyles. If you would like to refresh your memory on my tips for surviving Xmas, check out last December’s newsletter - tips for surviving Xmas

We have been extremely fortunate to have witnessed the transformation of our tadpoles into tiny frogs- I see the new year as a similar situation where many of us endeavour to undertake changes in our lives. While change can be scary, it can also be wonderful. If the fear is preventing you from taking the plunge from ‘tadpole-hood’ to’ frog-dom’ let me help you reveal your true identity. I am consulting through January, so call to make your appointment.

How small stresses can lead to overwhelm.


If I raised a glass of water and asked 'How heavy is this glass of water?' What would you say?Answers may range from 20g to 500g- it depends on the size of the glass. But, the absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it..

If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.
And that's the way it is with stress in our lives. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, As the burden becomes increasingly heavy, We won't be able to carry on.
As with the glass of water, You have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden.

Whatever burdens you're carrying now, Let them down for a moment if you can. Put down anything that may be a burden to you right now.

Don't pick it up again until after you've rested a while, and only if you really need to pick it up again.
Maybe its time to leave it where you put it.
I can help you ‘put things down’ that may seem stuck to your hand.

This month’s quote…

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.


See you again in 2010,
Robyn
