Quick takeaways

  • Overwhelm is primarily a product of our mindset rather than our circumstances, allowing us to control our emotional responses.
  • Shifting self-talk from 'I am overwhelmed' to 'I am feeling overwhelmed' helps create distance from the emotion and fosters clearer thinking.

Deep dives

Understanding Overwhelm

Overwhelm is a state of mind rather than an objective reality, arising from an individual's perception of their circumstances. The emotional responses associated with overwhelm, such as anxiety and stress, often feel intense and are misidentified as truths about one’s situation. Recognizing that these feelings stem from thoughts and narratives we create about our tasks is essential for managing overwhelm. Accepting this distinction allows individuals to differentiate their identity from the feeling of overwhelm, which can help them navigate their emotions more effectively.
