Some Signs You’re Running on Empty…
You’re easily irritated.
If you blow up over little things, like running out of butter for your toast, it’s a clear sign you’re running on empty. When you’re less resourced, it’s harder to control your temper.
You’re easily Concentration is hard to come by.
When you’re over-committed and your brain is buzzing in an endless loop, it can feel impossible to focus on one thing for long periods of time.
You feel really tense.
Perhaps your back is full of knots. or maybe you’re scowling a lot. Exhaustion shows up in your body – in your breathing and how you hold yourself. Tension makes your body work harder and can lead to pain.
You’re not sleeping well.
When you’re working too hard or drowning in your to-do list, sleep can feel impossible and that has a dramatic effect on your well-being.
If you’re struggling with self-care, this course can help you recharge. Join me to learn simple processes that help you create an oasis of self-care in the middle of your day.
Do You:
Prioritizing self-care can be difficult, especially if you’ve heard it’s selfish or indulgent. And when you’re really running on empty, it’s even harder because you don’t have the energy or clarity to figure out what self-care looks like.
Thankfully, I’ve got that figured out for you!
I’d like to help you give yourself the true rest and regeneration you need…and deserve.
So I created something that gives you relaxation and self-care immediately and also helps you invite more self-care into your life from now on.
Let me introduce You Can’t Run on Empty: Create More Rest & Self-Care in 21 Days
I created this course to give you the skills and support you need to nurture yourself…even when that’s hard. And to help you strengthen any existing self-care routines.
You’ll learn self-care practices so simple and immediate, you’ll find yourself doing them without getting stuck in endless inner arguments.
Every day, for 21 days, you’ll receive brand-new material that’s like an oasis of self-care in the middle of your day.
Plus, you’ll know you’re not alone in the self-care struggle. The moment you join, you become part of a community of people working on the same issues who can help you stay on track.
― Herman Hesse, Siddhartha

About Your Teacher
Ann Weiser Cornell used to prioritize work over family, fun, and her own rest… and nearly burned herself out. Now she trusts her body to let her know when she needs to rest, and she lives a happier, more fulfilling life
Ann created Inner Relationship Focusing with her long-time colleague, Barbara McGavin, to help people learn to listen compassionately to all the inner voices. Along the way, Ann and Barbara developed a radical new process for relating to the self-blaming voices inside them. It changed their lives, and it became their mission to help others transform as well.
For over 35 years now, Ann’s been teaching this practical, revolutionary process to people all over the world. With this on-demand course, you get the benefit of Ann’s expertise and the chance to practice the simple, yet revolutionary process of Focusing with her gentle, compassionate guidance.
Ann is the author of 21 Days to Healthier Boundaries, Focusing in Clinical Practice: The Essence of Change, The Power of Focusing, and The Radical Acceptance of Everything. Today she is internationally recognized as one of the leading innovators and theoreticians of Focusing.
“You can learn to trust your body’s sense of what you need, and when.”
― Ann Weiser Cornell
