Video 26: The link between Transformation and Burnout

Have you ever felt like a flea in a rug on spring cleaning day?

Human transformation is the process of physical and psychological change that all of us are constantly undergoing. Personally impactful experiences or significant realisations invite us to evolve our consciousness and  transform our way of being in the world. Upon realising something of pertinence about ourselves or life, our mind is stretched and can no longer revert back to its old form.

Acting upon our inner callings enables us to live purposefully, giving meaning to our endeavours. In contrast, when we disregard or turn away from our insights due to the fear of what implementing them may result in, choosing rather to continue our old modes and patterns of behaviour, then we shutdown our intuition and suppress the life that wants to be lived through us. The former leads to Authentic Self Empowerment, the latter leads to burnout.

In this training video Jevon Dängeli (NLP Trainer & ASE Facilitator) uses a humorous metaphor of a flea in a rug on spring cleaning day to describe the process of transformation and how burnout can result if our intrinsic impulses are ignored. Watch the video:
