027 Burnout or Re-Energised: Understanding Capacity

027 Burnout or Re-Energised: Understanding Capacity

Author: Clare Dimond August 26, 2024 Duration: 19:13

In this episode, we are looking at what capacity is and why it is the foundation of all experience of being. 

Capacity is the availability of resources from moment to moment. Resources such as attention, energy, compassion, endurance, creativity, time and money can make an enormous difference to what is experienced, what choices are available and what actions can be taken. 

It is not true to say though that the expansion of capacity is always a good thing. When the stakes are very high, human endeavour can be enormous. The problem is that the stakes are not always what they seem. Often what is at stake is the protection of the self identity and the threat is simply the mirror of that insecurity. 

So in this episode, which is the introduction to our free webinar on capacity this week, and then a course that is starting in September, we’re going to unpack and differentiate capacity as a driver of burnout and depletion versus capacity as a process of re-energising, creation and expansion. 

We are going to consider what aligns human capacity to human truth and why that is. 

What is Covered: 

-What we usually mean by capacity and why it is so misunderstood 

-How capacity can lead to burnout and exhaustion 

-Dysfunctional capacity and how it can create a lot of harm to society

-The power of sense-checking and reflecting on capacity 

-Capacity as a resource for learning, feedback and creation

There's a quiet sense many of us carry, a feeling that the constant chase for better strategies in work, health, and life is missing the point. Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond speaks directly to that intuition. Hosted by Clare Dimond, this podcast moves beyond the usual self-improishment advice to explore a foundational shift in how we experience thought itself. It’s for anyone who suspects that real peace and clarity aren't another hack away, but emerge from a different understanding of our own minds. Conversations here aren't about adding more techniques to your routine; they gently point you toward the innate resilience and well-being that get obscured by stress and overthinking. Whether you're navigating business decisions, personal fitness goals, or mental quietude, this podcast offers a space to consider how a change in perspective alters everything. You'll find episodes that feel like a series of quiet revelations, stripping away complexity to reveal the simplicity of a mind operating freely, without the struggle we so often assume is mandatory. It’s an invitation to stop seeking a superpower and to start recognizing the one you’ve always had.
