"Estelle's workshop had the effect of giving me rational confirmation that it's extremely important to take breaks in order to perform well during active periods. It's like I needed to know that it was scientifically recognized before I could fully accept it. (I’m the type to feel guilty for 'doing nothing' even though I know it’s good for my health and creativity… damned societal conditioning that I’m trying to undo). So, I really liked the part with the diagrams where you explained how the nervous system works; I would have loved to dive deeper into that 🙂. Finishing with a practical exercise was a great idea, helping us reconnect with our bodies. It made me realize that when I procrastinate, it's simply because I'm exhausted and in need of complete rest. Also, I learned that it's important to prioritize oneself to regulate the nervous system, because I tend to procrastinate things that actually make me feel good, like drawing or creating for myself. I always put it off because 'it's less important,' and as a result, I end up feeling frustrated, tired, and not wanting to work on my business 😅. So now, I’m going to try reorganizing my workdays to do something that brings me joy first thing in the morning! So, in short, I thought it was a great introduction, and it felt good to understand the link between what happens physically and emotionally and the rational explanation behind it. I would have liked to delve deeper into that part. I also enjoyed feeling my body during the exercise and noticing which positions felt best for me. Thank you again, Estelle, what you're doing is fascinating and of public service 😌😘.”
