STOP. QUIT THE HUSTLE.

A little awareness at a time.

Sick and tired of being sick and tired? I can help.

I’m gonna tell you something that may seem like the opposite of everything you’ve heard about being successful: you need to slow down. You’ve tried “self-care” but facials and bubble baths (as yummy as they are) aren’t helping you with your overall feeling of being overwhelmed. You’re burnt out, right? Stretched too thin? Just freakin’ exhausted?

I get it. I’m Suset Laboy, and I am a Women’s Empowerment Advisor and the founder of A Little Awareness. I work with ambitious women whose enthusiasm has led them to success, but also burnout. And I can help you get a little awareness into how to find a better balance in your life.

BUSY is a 4-letter Word

Looking to dig yourself out of overwhelm with something more than another “woo-hoo!” self-help book? Let's work together to find your peace, help you make more intentional choices towards ease and a life that just flows.

THE KEY TO BOUNDARIES (SO IMPORTANT TO EASE) They

THE KEY TO BOUNDARIES (SO IMPORTANT TO EASE)

They are about YOU not the other person.

They are meant to nurture and support YOU not the other person.

Sounds selfish? Not at all. It is loving and empowering.

Here is why: Setting boundaries with yourself, your children, your loved ones requires that you have a deep understanding of who you are and of your needs.

That understanding only comes with the kind of work that makes you a model of what someone who knows their worth and value acts like. What better way to show love to others than to model to them how a confident, whole, complete being behaves?

As a bonus, when you realize that boundaries are about YOU, it’s much easier to communicate them with love, clarity, without judgment, frustration or anger towards the other person. Again, from a place of love.

Modeling boundary setting benefit all of those around you and elevates us all.

Have someone in your life who is amazing at setting boundaries? Tag them here and thank them for the lessons.

FIND YOURSELF PEEPS WHO ALIGN WITH YOU

Or help you fall into alignment as @elyseleren did here during a @90monkeys Adjustment Training last year (#tbt).

Often times, when we start transforming ourselves and our relationship to the world around us, part of the world doesn’t catch up.

Friends, family, your old self rubs against the new world you are trying to design for yourself. And this can be frustrating.

In these moments, it is more important than ever to stay in a conversation that nurtures your commitment to ease and flow; to growth.

It is particularly important to surround yourself with people who will lovingly support you into the path you want to follow.

Got one of those people in your life who keeps elevating you no matter what?

Tag them here and let them know how darn special they are for holding space for you.

ARE YOU NOURISHING YOURSELF OR NUMBING YOURSELF W

ARE YOU NOURISHING YOURSELF OR NUMBING YOURSELF

What ARE the right activities to nurture my soul without numbing my brain?

The amazing women I support tend to share a constant desire to work 24/7, spending every waking hour at their computer. Whenever they allow themselves a distraction, they feel either guilty of wasting time or for distracting themselves with activities that don’t feel like the "right" activity.

The question to ask yourself is simple - "Is this activity nourishing or numbing?"
And there’s a simple (though not easy) way to test whether an activity will do one or the other. Numbing activities zap your energy, and if we're perfectly honest with ourselves, tend to replace the one activity our heart is screaming to do (read a book, go for a walk, take a bath).

Nourishing activities make you feel light, free, in flow, energized, or at the very least like you are conserving your energy.

Finding out what these are is a process that takes exploration and openness, a willingness to try new and old things, and answer with brutal honesty, "Is this nourishing, or is this numbing?"

It also takes a commitment to connecting with yourself, inwardly, through simply being present.

Like I said, simple but not easy.

And yet, I know you got this and that you can absolutely find the most nourishing path for you.

Can you tell the difference between the two? What’s your favorite nourishing activity?

P.S. Swipe for a view of what I look like when I don't feel nourished ;-).

LOVING REMINDER: You have the power and choice to

LOVING REMINDER:

You have the power and choice to lead a life of flow and ease.

You deserve it for no other reason that you exist.

This quote comes directly from a participant to one of my early mindshift, movement and breathwork workshops.

I celebrate today their commitment to transforming their relationship to overwhelm and the actions they have taken since that day in that direction.

Here is what they shared about the experience, "I have experienced profound improvement in so many areas of my life because of that afternoon...It was one of my first guided sessions and have noticed I was able to take a few breathing techniques with me into the real world which helped me decrease anxiety and increased attention, awareness and focus. I am more able to slow down and breath if things in my life are getting very intense. For sure it has enabled me to be more responsive and less reactive."

All I did was hold space and share tools that work for my clients to find their own ease. I celebrate each and every one of you for this.

And I celebrate every single one of you taking daily actions, big or small, to find flow and calm.

Struggling to get there? Don't hesitate to DM me. I can support you.

HELLO, WELCOME. Happy October 1st! It’s been

HELLO, WELCOME.

Happy October 1st!

It’s been a while since I said hello, howdy to my amazing peeps here, old and new. So hellooooo.

My name is Suset Laboy Pérez (that’s Dr. Laboy Pérez), and I loooove helping ambitious, successful ladies (and some gents) quit the hustle mentality and bring ease and flow into their lives. It’s all about alignment, baby.

I wasn’t always into quitting the hustle or abandoning overwork. In fact, I used to wear “busy” as a proud badge of honor.

All that started to change in the past decade, when I started to develop weekly migraines and vertigo. The last loving smack (because the universe will come fast at you when you don’t listen) came when I was diagnosed with a tumor a month before my wedding (sorry wedding planning, you gonna have to wait) and as Hurricane María hit my beautiful island of PR (sit back down wedding plans).

Something had to give. My wellbeing and health or my obsession with going, going, going, doing, doing, doing.

Guess which I chose? Leaning into ease and flow is a very personal, daily practice, but it was the best decision I ever made. And now I get to help others find their own path to ease. I’m lovin’ it!

Eff hustling and the cult of busy.

How about you? Are you getting signs from the universe that you need to slow down and quit the cult of busy? DM me, as I may be able to help you get there.

P.S. I may someday post the sultry images that followed this one, which I love.

WANT TO FEEL LESS [FILL IN THE BLANK WITH WHATEVER

WANT TO FEEL LESS [FILL IN THE BLANK WITH WHATEVER YUCK YOU ARE FEELING]?

Do something for someone else. Yep. As simple as that. And by do something, I don’t mean do something huge (though those are awesome too).

It can be something as simple as giving a compliment, like my friend and fellow yogi @caroncaresyoga was doing here, as we were getting certified together at @90monkeys don’t remember when ago. Or sending loving energies to someone.

Research shows that giving, contributing to someone else helps lower blood pressure, increases self-esteem, lowers stress levels, supports happier and longer lives.

“Go do something for someone else” is one of my favorite tasks or funwork (bc who needs more homework) to give to my clients. It has the added benefit of immediately getting you out of your head and giving you perspective about the world around you.

Don’t believe its effect? On your next break today, look out the window and send a good, loving thought to every person walking by.

Instant pick me up.

And the world is a better place. Win-win. What do you say? Are you up for it?

WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN? What needs to happen for yo

WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN?

What needs to happen for you to stop and listen?

What needs to happen for you to go inward and connect with your self and your deepest desires?

In today’s world—of #wfh, home school, tend to the kids, the pets, the growing business—it’s oh so difficult to pause and dedicate time to going inward.

And yet—we make things happen consistently for everyone expecting something from us.

What makes you think you can’t make some time for yourself? Even if that means spending 3 minutes of quiet in the bathroom (all fair in this game of life).

I promise that doing so will make the rest Of your to do’s that much more delicious.

So today, ask yourself - what needs to happen? What can I do to spend at least 4-5 minutes in quiet today?

Then go do it.

Post on social and tag me to celebrate the baby win!
