Are you feeling overwhelmed?
I can help; let’s break it down.
1. Write down the thing that has you feeling overwhelmed.
Simply naming it helps to remove you from it.
2. How does this overwhelming thing (your answer above) have you FEEL?
Again, write a list.
Keep it to one word.
Then DESCRIBE the feeling.
What color is it?
What shape?
Where in your body do you feel it?
How heavy or light is it?
Does it move, and if so, how?
Use as many adjectives as you can.
This will dissipate the feelings.
Next, let’s get to the to-dos.
3. Write down everything to do in the “next action” format.
For example, there are several actions to getting tires changed.
First, call & make an appointment; next, put the tires in your car.
So often, we write or think “change car tires” on our to-do list, but this is too vague.
We’re overwhelmed because we are not being specific.
Writing the next action is specific; focus here.
4. Decide what to do next & do it.
Start with one thing & go from there.
By processing through & breaking down the overwhelm, you will
Be more productive at work
Enjoy your evenings at home with your family
Work out because you enjoy it, not b/c you have to ‘blow off steam.’
And have a better life.
Breaking down overwhelm is exactly what I help my clients do.
