The 4P Framework is about kind, sustainable shifts that bring you back into alignment - with your values, purpose and sense of calm - on YOUR terms. Finding balance again is a gentle process, not a race.

The 4P Framework can be used for

🔷 a longer, more reflective period in your life when dealing with big shifts in your identity and purpose - these are often called Life Transitions

🔷 for any immediate challenge in your everyday life, once you are comfortable using the technique in a way that fits in with your life and preferences.

I devised the 4P Framework and have used it when dealing with changing jobs in different areas and types of employer, moving house across countries, coping with debilitating chronic pain, family relationship challenges, bereavements and ageing....these are just the labels we can use, however, each of us knows when our old self doesn't quite fit the new circumstances we find ourselves in.

This framework was born from my own difficult times, and I know it can help you, too.

Explore how to:

🟢 Pause – make space to breathe

🟡 Protect – set boundaries that honour your energy

🔵 Pivot – spot where change is needed

🟠 Project – shape the future you want

PAUSE: do you recognise yourself?

You know something feels off, whether a remark in an office and you feel compromised, or you are so tired you have no time or space for anything you like to do...

NOW is the moment to stop, take a breath and slow it all down.

In an immediate situation, find somewhere to have space and a few minutes deep breathing, this helps your focus.

When navigating a bigger issue, the Pause can be any length of time as a whole - or give yourself blocks of time within a week. If you're very stressed, perhaps consider some proper time out, whatever options you have for that. Some find a long walk in countryside or beside a river or the sea really helps - nature calms your nervous system and can provide a reset.

We have been trained into thinking that a "holiday" will resolve this - that depends on the balancing act of organising it, paying for it, the travel demands, who you are with...will it really relax you?

Can you find a way to build reset moments every day, alongside de-stressing activities every week?

Movement releases tension, music is a powerful and pleasant, watch a film or video, see your friends, listen to a podcast, meditate, enjoy making something, spend time outside in a green space or beside flowing water, read a book, walk the dog, play with or just be with the kids, walk round a gallery or musem, visit a castle or historic site, drive or take a train or bus somewhere you've never been!

You are training your body and mind to relax and know you are taking care of you - sometimes this takes a mindshift as we may have put others' needs ahead of our own, however, if you are not functioning in a healthy and sustainanble way, you can find burnout happening without realising.
