Рисувай за душевно спокойствие
Ела да помацаме заедно на 14 Ноември в Езотера. Няма нужда да си художник, или творец. Ако усещаш постоянна тревожност и стрес, ела за една вечер изпълнена със спокойствие. Приятна атмосфера, малка група, музика, цветове и готини хора с които да си поприказваш (ако искаш).
Живот в баланс - как да се справим със стреса?
Живеем под постоянен стрес в нашето ежедневие, и вече не усещаме как това афектира психиката ни, тялото ни, емоциите ни и цялостното ни съществуване.
В този Мастърклас ще обсъдим:
Как ни влияе стреса
Защо се стресираме толкова много в последните 10 години
Ще направим оценка на индивидуалното ти състояние на стрес и бърнаут
Ще обсъдим как стреса влия на микробиома и как микробиома влияе на настроението и емоциите
Ще направим практика за отпускане на точки на напрежение в тялото
Ще завършим с дихателна практика за спокойствие и приятна вечер
Билети: 59BGN (30Eur)
Повечето от нас живеят в постоянно състояние на стрес, без дори да осъзнаваме колко силно той влияе на нашето физическо и емоционално благополучие. Научили сме се да съжителстваме със стреса, което в крайна сметка води до бърнаут. Пренебрегваме предупредителните знаци (защото сме твърде заети, за да се погрижим за себе си) и си мислим, че всичко ще отмине от само себе си.
Истината? Няма да отмине — и тихо ви разрушава отвътре.
Стресът влияе на мозъка, сърдечно-съдовата система и времето, което прекарваме с близките си. Една от най-трудните стъпки е първата - да дадем време и шанс на себе си. Да се вгледаме в себе си. Дай си тези 2 часа Ноември месец и завърши годината със спокойствие.
Деяна и A Mindful Escape:
Деяна е награждаван специалист в сферата на благополучието. Българка, която е живяла 15 години в Лондон и е работила с някои от най-големите имена в туристическата индустрия – British Airways, Hilton Worldwide, Trafalgar Travel, Contiki Tours и други. Ръководила е големи глобални екипи и от първо лице е видяла как стресът, тревожността и в крайна сметка бърнаутът могат да повлияят както на личния, така и на професионалния ни живот.
Тя е посветила мисията си на това да разпространява знанието как можем по-ефективно да управляваме стреса, как да разпознаваме ранните признаци на бърнаут и как да засилваме човешката свързаност чрез уъркшопи, събития и изграждане на общност.

Tickets 59BGN (30Eur)
Most of us live in a constant state of stress and we do not even recognise the impact it has on our physical and emotional wellbeing. We have learnt to co-exist with stress which ultimately leads to burnout. Ignoring the warning signs (because we are too busy to look after ourselves) and thinking it is going to go away.
The truth? It is not going to go away and it is silently damaging you on the inside. Stress impacts our brains, our cardiovascular system and the quality time we spend with loved ones.
Welcome drinks and snacks will be provided. Whether you’re on the edge of burnout or quietly holding it all together, this space is for you. Come as you are, we’ll take care of the rest.

FAQS
-
Burnout is a complex physiological, mental and emotional state which occurs after a prolonged period of time. It usually occurs following a prolonged period in a state of stress (fight or flight), being pulled in multiple directions on a personal and professional level, not aligned with your values
-
This is not an extensive list. Feeling disconnected from your job, feeling lack of motivation to show up to work, feeling easily triggered, irritated. Lack of focus. Feeling emotional about situations that usually won't affect you
-
It is very individual. The reality is that burnout happens over a prolonged period of time when we did not pay attention to our body's signals. Recovery can take anything from 3 months to a year, depending on the state, circumstances etc.. there is no precise timeframe that can be applied globally.
