A client told me recently, “I feel restless all the time. Like I need to be doing more.”
So we explored what that restlessness really meant.
Beneath it wasn’t a need for more action—but a need for less. A need for rest. For stillness.
Most high-performers assume that if they slow down, they’ll lose momentum. That if they’re not pushing, they’re falling behind.
It feels like a paradox: When you slow down, you gain clarity.
When you stop pushing, real insight emerges.
Slowing down isn’t about doing nothing.
It’s about allowing space for what actually matters to surface.
What would happen if, just for a moment, you stopped doing and allowed yourself to be?
Although coaching is about creating change, the route there can be unconventional.
I’m always curious when there is a sense of urgency or rush… what lies behind that?
If you’re feeling restless and don’t know what to do with it, reach out for a complimentary conversation.
