What to Do When You Feel Overwhelmed
Are You Feeling Overwhelmed?
If you are feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone. As a counselor and therapist who also offers life coaching, I get to talk to people from all walks of life, and this is how I know that feeling overwhelmed is something that everyone experiences at one stage or another. Working on your emotional intelligence can help you to feel less overwhelmed, but we are really skimming the surface here. So, let’s rewind.
“I Get Overwhelmed So Easily”
If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed easily, it is usually not because of one incident but a slow avalanche effect that has piled up around you over time. Do you have too much on your plate? Are you struggling to figure out how in the world you are going to get everything done? Are you skipping out on self-care, personal time, and activities that you enjoy because you don’t have the time? It’s overwhelming, and we’ve all been there!
If you’re one of the many people who are feeling the effects of overwhelm, you’re not alone, and you’re not stuck. You can get through this, set yourself up for a happier, less stressful lifestyle, and breathe again – I promise.
What to Do When You Feel Overwhelmed
On this episode of the Love, Happiness and Success podcast, I discuss what to do when you feel overwhelmed – and what you can do to feel more in control of your life (and stress-free). I’ll walk you through five practical, real-world strategies that I teach my clients (that I use personally) that you can start using today to feel more peaceful and productive, and regain your inner peace.
Go ahead and listen; I can almost promise you’ll learn something new!
