Feeling swallowed by the waves of overwhelm? In this episode of “Rhythms of Focus,” Kourosh Dini invites listeners on a gentle voyage through the tumultuous sea of starting something new—whether it’s a project, a piece of music, or simply the next small step on the creative path. Rather than pushing for rigid productivity, Kourosh explores the art of recognizing emotions, honoring the body’s signals, and allowing overwhelm itself to become a kind of map, guiding the way toward mindful agency.
Listeners will discover:
- Why overwhelm arises and how to meet it with self-compassion, especially with a wandering mind or ADHD
- How agency isn’t about forcing focus, but about learning to navigate uncertainty and rekindling a sense of play within chaos
- Practical micro-strategies to move forward when the tides feel too strong
Key takeaways:
- Identify the emotional waves beneath overwhelm to turn anxiety into insight
- Use imperfect notes and tasks as trail markers, not obligations
- Find rhythm and enjoyment by honoring the present moment, rather than chasing an imagined “better way”
