“Overwhelmed” is just a feeling, not a circumstance. 😮💨 And don’t get me wrong - it’s a very VALID feeling.
I’ll be honest - this month has been extremely busy for me. And the past version of me probably would have been deep in overwhelm by now…
I’ve been traveling a lot, visiting family, and doing my very best to balance my business, my work, and my personal life. ⚖️ It’s been a lot.
But it’s times like these when I get to use the skills and tools I’ve learned over the years! Such as: managing my mindset. 😉
I’m human. I experience anxiety, worry, fear, and yes, of course overwhelm.
👉🏼But that’s just it - you can EXPERIENCE a feeling without letting it become you.
👉🏼You can feel overwhelmed, but choose not to DWELL in overwhelm.
And it starts with awareness. 👀 Have you been repeating thoughts like “omg I’m so overwhelmed right now!” over and over?
Or maybe you keep thinking, “my life is just so overwhelming!”
If you are - no shame, I get it, but let’s change that! Start with ONE thing at a time.
🔥What’s ONE thing that would help you feel better right now?
🔥What’s ONE thing you could take off your plate?
🔥What’s ONE small step you could take today, that would make your life just a little easier tomorrow?
And just to be clear, your situation or circumstances can 💯 be overwhelming. I’m not denying that.
BUT - it’s sooo much more helpful to focus on YOU and your power, than it is to focus on the thing that’s making you feel powerless.
So instead of thinking “it’s the situation or person’s fault that I’m living in overwhelm” switch it to ➡️ “yeah, this isn’t working so what can I do about this thing that’s causing me to feel overwhelmed?”
Take your power back. 🔥 Go from feeling helpless, to focusing on what you can control.
This is something that’s come up with pretty much *all* of my clients at some point. But ending overwhelm is totally possible!
Deep breath, we’ve got this. One step at a time. 💪🏻💪🏽💪🏾
