Ep #28: 5 Steps to Overcoming Overwhelm

Overwhelm is an all too familiar feeling for us overthinkers. This week, I’m talking about it specifically in terms of when overwhelm comes from a streak of bad news, or when it feels like everything is going sideways all at once. Sometimes it’s a series of little things that build up, and it just seems like your day is getting more and more dire by the second.

What starts out as a metaphoric paper cut in the morning can turn into feeling like you’re drowning in concern by the end of the day. Our spiral of negative thoughts turn quickly into overwhelm, and we have a tendency to think the whole world is conspiring against us. So, how do we take back our control in these moments?

Join me this week as I offer a five-step sequence that will help you unlock your paralysis and break the cycle of overwhelm. I’m showing you how to untangle your thoughts and feelings when you feel emotionally out of control, and how to take charge of your life, no matter how bad your day might be going.
