3 quick ways to get out of OVERWHELM

June 27, 2012

Here is a shot from my journal today:

I was in total overwhelm.  Mentally fried with a list of to-dos scrambling around in my head.

Doesn’t overwhelm suck? It can stop you in your tracks, ruthlessly kill creativity, and in also invites in the nasty and mean inner critic, who then opens the door to insecurity and eventually, if we don’t get out of overwhelm, we can end up in a downward spiral.

I don’t know anyone who thrives in overwhelm.  Thriving on pressure is one thing…and overwhelm just stops the whole system.

OVERWHELM is only a STATE, and it can be CHANGED 

I was going to say that for us small business owners,  overwhelm is common, and I know better than to limit it to one sub group of people.  WE ALL EXPERIENCE overwhelm from time to time.  Most of us really are doing so freaking much.  One client who runs 25 person company and has 2 small children, put it like this, “It’s like my brain wires are just fried because I’ve simply ingested too much information.”  I get it. I TOTALLY get it.

So after my overwhelm episode today, I decided to make a quick video about what to actually do to STOP the state of overwhelm and reboot your brain. We all get there and I know these three quick steps can help you get back in your groove!

I’d love to hear what YOU do to get out of overwhelm and get back in your groove. Comment, share, spread the love!

    Thanks girl…. because I was JUST NOW to the point of tears feeling overwhelmed!! This skin cancer thing is getting the best of me – waiting for surgery to finally arrive on July 3rd and finding out it will be more invasive to remove and repair, etc…. and other obligations that are pulling me in more directions than I want… anyway – there is always something, right?  But I just took my deep breathes.  I am dropping G off at a birthday party, and will go spend time with a friend who can help me refocus on something other than myself!!! 
    Love ya!

    Lovely tips – especially the pivot away from the situation. 

    I like to call my best friend when I get monkey mind because she helps me see the situation rationally. If I know I’m being blah and just need a change of pace, I call someone and ask how their day is going. I find that it helps me put things in perspective when I can get out of my own mind for a moment.

    I use EFT to clear away the reason for the overwhelm. Also using EFT on negative events from the past means less likelihood of  be triggered and experiencing overwhelm in the first place.

    With warm regards

      Heather, I also use EFT in moments of overwhelm. Sometimes even just the physical tapping when I’m in public places can help. Thanks for your comment.

It’s so easy to get hooked by why other people a It’s so easy to get hooked by why other people are doing... and slip into comparison and doubt.

Eeeek. It happens to me too, especially when I’m tired.

That comparison and doubt is self judgement and it stops your flow and glow.

 And we need your flow and glow!

This is your reminder to 🛑 stop for a moment. Shake off- as in literally get up and do a full body shake to clear your nervous system and mind. Feel the shift of energy and then get back to YOUR path. Get back to YOUR plan. YOU do YOU. YOU BE YOU... and believe in YOURSELF.

I accidentally had a trip the other day. Let me b I accidentally had a trip the other day.

Let me back up and say that that’s not a normal occurrence for me.

But I had a little too much weed gummy and y’all some lessons occurred during that trip.

I’ll be honest that I had some shame and embarrassment around sharing this, but you are my people and there were some lessons so big in here I had to share.

I don’t want to ruin any of the story for you (it’s better to hear it!) but just know that this week’s podcast episode is an entertaining one AND full of lessons, ones that became so clear to me and that I hope will resonate with you too.
