Last year, in a private group coaching session, I shared my essential techniques for overcoming overwhelm. The reality is that I constantly hit overwhelm, I just don’t spend more than a few minutes there!

The feedback was so positive that I wanted to take a moment to share them with you too! Apparently, I’m not the only one with an ongoing struggle between doing all the things + creating healthy boundaries!

Whenever the to do lists become pages long, when you feel pulled in 10 different directions and you feel a flood of stressful, overwhelming emotions creeping in, follow these 3 steps…

1 - Take a Breath. Step away from the work, and breathe deeply. Meditate for a few minutes, or get outside and just breath. Reconnect with your body and the breath that moves you.

2 - Braindump everything. Get everything out of your head and onto a single piece of paper. Instead of having 50 different documents, notes, and sticky notes look at your to-do’s holistically. Notice the patterns that emerge. It’s not 1,000 things happening, it’s 10 different areas with a bunch of sub tasks or steps.

3 - Pick one. Choose ONE area from the list that is MOST important and the ONE action from the list that moves your work, and life forward. Create time, space, and momentum for that!

Action creates momentum + action creates clarity. Both of those are the antidote to overwhelm!

Overwhelm doesn’t have to rule your emotional state! You have the power!
