071 - Overwhelm. It's that mind-racing, waves-crashing-over-you feeling that we're all familiar with. If you're not careful, overwhelm can lead to a state of paralysis, which in turn kicks off a shame spiral. And then you're really in the muck. 😳
So this week's podcast is about recognizing the signs of overwhelm, mindfully assessing the situation, and making a plan for moving forward. Because while overwhelm arises for ALL of us on occasion, staying in a state of overwhelm is a choice—not an inevitability!
What To Listen For:
- Why we're attached to being "busy"
- The ingredients of overwhelm (and what's missing from the equation)
- What to ask yourself when you're feeling overwhelmed
- Shifting the way you view your to-do list
- How to find your top priority, and what to do once it's clear
You'll also hear about my favorite new tool for circumventing overwhelm: the Project Tracker spreadsheet. (You knew it would involve spreadsheets, didn't you?!)
