Do you feel like you are in a constant state of overwhelm? Too much going on to really slow down and enjoy life? Are you juggling so much that you don\u2019t feel super successful in anything? <\/p>\n
Here are 6 Steps To Getting Out of Overwhelm:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Say NO –<\/strong><\/span> Are you the type that feels bad when you say no to someone so you say yes even though you don\u2019t really want to? What is that costing you? Your precious time, your health, your sanity, connection to loved ones? Do yourself a favor and learn to be less of a people pleaser and stand for something. <\/p>\n Stand For Something –<\/strong><\/span> When you aren\u2019t clear on what\u2019s most important to you, it\u2019s easy to fall into the trap of doing what everyone else wants for you. When you are clear on your values and priorities and you honor them, it\u2019s more difficult to be swayed into a direction you don\u2019t want to go. Take a stand for what\u2019s important to you. Everything else is secondary. <\/p>\n Make Self-Care a Priority –<\/strong><\/span> Self-care is not selfish, it\u2019s necessary. When you put your well-being as a priority you are more able to take care of others and fulfill on what\u2019s most important to you. Constantly giving and doing keeps you in a state of depletion and from there you have little to give and the resentment, anger, sadness and disconnect continue to grow. Take care of yourself so that you have more to give to the things and people that matter. <\/p>\n Clear Your Plate & Delegate –<\/strong><\/span> Look at what you are currently doing and see how much of it you want to be doing. If it is something you don\u2019t love, takes a lot of your time or is something someone else can do, then delegate it or let it go completely. What are the things you can let go of entirely and what can you delegate to someone else? Even if you have to pay someone to help you, what does that free you up to do? Is it worth it? Only do the things that bring you joy, are in alignment with your values or are moving you toward your end goal. Let go of the rest.<\/p>\n Change Your View –<\/strong><\/span> Overwhelm is a state of mind. Perhaps you are looking at the situation in a way that causes stress and anxiety. How could you look at your situation differently so that it supports you rather than drains you? Imagine riding in an airplane and looking out the window from the pilot\u2019s seat, sitting in first class and sitting in coach. The experience will be different for each depending on what you are focusing on. Certain conditions are more conducive to relaxation yet depending on what a person is thinking about will determine how she actually experiences the situation. What is your focus and how might you take a different view? <\/p>\n
