How to Manage During this Crisis with Mary Hyatt

This week we are welcoming back to the podcast, my wonderful friend Mary Hyatt. For those of you who don’t know, Mary is my coach and she has also become one of my closest friends. We are going to be talking about what we can all do during this crisis, to hopefully bring you some comfort and support. KEY TAKEAWAYS COVERED IN THE PODCASTWe are all experiencing something collectively – Everything feels very “off”.Our batteries are being drained – emotionally and mentally.We respond to stress in lots of different ways – Denial, Over-eating, Over-drinking. This is all about distracting ourselves from what is really going on.There are also other ways we respond to stress which can be highly emotional – Hyper Sensitivity, Anxiety, Depression.We are processing so much more information right now, it is understandably draining!Don’t expect as much from yourself during this time.Comparative suffering is adding shame and judgement whilst thinking about what you are feeling.We are all allowed to feel how we feel during this – This could be emotions such as Overwhelm, Exhaustion, Anxiety, Grief.We can only extend to others, what we are giving ourselves.There is not any “right way” to go through this.You get to choose what you do during this time, no one else.Be gentle and compassionate with yourself.We need to continue to bring in income the best we can right now.Think about how you can meet needs that are there and add value to people.You need to connect with people on a deeper level right now.Value yourself, you have skills that can make others thrive. Recognise that you have information that other people wish they had.Find meaning and purpose in the midst of all of this.You are in control of how your mind interprets this. Try to think “What can this make possible?”Look for the good things in every day. Be grateful for absolutely everything you have.Shifting the focus on what we have, multiplies it.Journaling – Write it down and then flip it so it comes from love instead of anger.Get out all of your feelings on paper – You can just throw it away or burn it if you want to.Utilise these free tools!Give yourself permission to rest, nurture yourself and ask yourself “what do I need?”THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO REMEMBER ABOVE ALL ELSE…Be gentle on yourself during this time, don’t put pressure on yourself to be achieving things just because you are being told you need to, whether that’s because other people are saying it or you may be telling yourself. You are allowed to feel anxious, angry, depressed, frustrated right now and it is okay if you can’t quite function how you normally would. But remember, this will not last forever.HIGHLIGHTS YOU SIMPLY CAN'T MISSAn introduction to Mary Hyatt – 04:38The impact of the pandemic – 07:53Comparative Suffering – 21:05Expectations – 25:55Selling during this time – 33:43Tools that can help you – 45:15Transcript below Hello, and welcome to today's episode of the podcast. How are things going? You know what? I so genuinely mean that, because this time is so crazy tough for us ll, for lots of different reasons. I'm going to jump straight into today's episode, because today I decided to bring back a previous guest. Now, I thought this was the first time I had done this, but it actually turns out that Biz Paul has been on twice. Although technically, the second time he came on, he interviewed Paul and I for episode 100.I think this is technically the first time I've had someone in that I've interviewed twice. So, I would like to welcome back to the podcast, my very beautiful, wonderful and smart friend,...
