You're juggling multiple priorities, deadlines are looming, and your emotions are running wild. It's easy to feel stuck in a whirlwind of chaos. You are overwhelmed. But is this emotional or practical overwhelm? They are different, and the tactics to deal with them are also different. Emotional overwhelm occurs when you feel overloaded or unable to cope with the intensity of your feelings. Common signs of emotional overwhelm include feeling anxious, stressed, frustrated. Sometimes, emotional overwhelm emerges when you're avoiding something big in your life. It could be a difficult conversation. It could be a crucial change. But it cannot be fixed with just a bubble bath. Practical overwhelm, on the other hand, signals a gap between your tasks and your resources. You have too much to handle or manage within the available time or resources. Understanding the distinction between emotional and practical overwhelm can help identify the root causes and find appropriate solutions. And this is what I'll do in our time together. What I mention in this episode:Difference between emotional and practical overwhelm Ways of analyzing emotional overwhelmWhy practical overwhelm is easier to identify (but this is why sometimes we don’t do anything to deal with it) What you'll learn from it:How to identify the type of overwhelm you’re experiencingHow to discover what you’re avoiding in your life if you deal with emotional overwhelmActions you can take to reduce practical overwhelmImportance of establishing minimal acceptable standardsI hope you can extract a golden nugget from this episode to handle overwhelm with compassion and love. xo, KavethaPS- It’s one thing to know what brings you joy and how to access those moments, and it’s another thing to be present while you’re actually engaging in those situations.  Do you want to be present and have more tools to deal with overwhelm?
