Listen "S2 E25 Conquering Overwhelm"
Episode Synopsis
Feeling the overwhelm of things to-do and/or other mental noise? Today we are sharing three strategies to help bring more enjoyment into our everyday life experiences, and less of the chaos we feel in overwhelm.
MIND: Find a way to make the task more enjoyable.
This us were we intentionally choose a way to shift energy: we add music or movement or a friend or a drink --just something that "sweetens the deal." Remember that enjoyment is always an option. Tasks can get accomplished wether we are feeling stressed or not. The stressful part is actually optional.
BODY: Transfer the mental clutter.
When our minds get filled up, it's easy to get lost and not even know where to begin. It's like being in a room full of piles and not being able to move around. Moving the mental clutter out of our heads and onto paper gives us mental space to move around in our head. It frees up precious brain activity for our higher thinking mind, and helps us consolidate or find better solutions, simply by getting it all out of our spinning brain and onto paper.
PURPOSE: Remember your higher purpose.
Taking a higher perspective helps us to gauge what we really value most, and let that steer our decisions. For example, at times our values might be in conflict and we need to choose what reflects our highest purpose best: Maybe the laundry can wait. Maybe it's okay to be late to an event. Maybe we can be peaceful and productive at the same time.
