How to Beat Overwhelm Feeling overwhelmed? Welcome to the club! Feeling regularly overwhelmed is something most people struggle with, and it can negatively impact your quality of life. Over the years, I've helped my clients regain their sanity, organization, and boundaries to beat the constant feelings of overwhelm. Here are my top 5 tips to beat overwhelm that have worked for my clients for YEARS! 1. Stop speaking it into existence! Watch your words. Instead of saying things like "I am so overwhelmed," say, "I got this!" Remember, the words you speak are creating your future reality. The more you talk about and focus on being overwhelmed, the less in control you’ll feel, and the more life will throw at you to exacerbate that feeling. It becomes an endless cycle. So, to break the cycle, start speaking into existence the new reality you wish to create, one where you feel calm, in control, and efficient. Here are some affirmations to help you do that... 2. Use affirmations to break the cycle. Every day, tell yourself these things, and repeat them several times while taking three deep breaths during moments when you feel overwhelmed. - I am capable. - I am able to get things done quickly and efficiently. - I no longer take on more than I can handle. - I know my limits, my capabilities, and strengths. I plan accordingly. - I am focused and organized. - I get shit done! - I am getting ___________ off my plate now! - I am proud of how far I’ve come. I’m getting better at this! - I am calm and in control of my emotions. - I am controlling what’s within my power and letting the rest GO! - I can do this! 3. Set yourself up for success. Keeping your daily task goals manageable is key. Make a master list of all the things you’re working on and what needs to get done to help you see the big picture and stay organized. Keep it handy, but every morning, write down just 3 things you KNOW you can accomplish today. Keeping that daily list small is the key. We want to create a culture of WINNING that encourages us to stay focused and accomplish what needs to be done. Keep it simple and keep your promise to yourself to get those 3 things checked off no matter what. This will build your confidence in your ability to follow through and achieve your goals. 4. Clean up your plate! Start saying no to things you know you can't commit to or deliver on time. If your plate is full, it's full. Period. Stop saying yes to everything! Stop volunteering for things you don’t need to raise your hand for. Understanding your current obligation load and managing your time is key. This will help you avoid taking on more than you can deliver and get things off your plate that you don’t NEED to be committed to. Simplify wherever possible. Just because you've always done something or forced a task or activity into your schedule doesn’t mean it’s healthy for you to continue doing it. Reevaluate your priorities and focus on those exclusively until you have realistic openings on your plate. 5. Calm your mind. Meditation is key to a healthy, calm mind and a fulfilled life. Its benefits have been proven for decades (or longer). Start using a tool that has been PROVEN to work for some of the most successful people on the planet (LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Oprah, etc.). It’s one of the best ways to combat mental overload and overwhelm. Commit to doing a 10-minute meditation every day—it’s simple and easy. Pick a guided meditation for any topic that fits how you’re feeling that day. There are ones for calming your mind, healing, energy cleansing (my favorite), abundance, and much more. When you start your day in a place of calm, gratitude, and by saying your affirmations, you’re setting yourself up for success. If you found this post helpful, please share!

Tips for Handling Adversity. How to positively handle adversity and overcome obstacles. This morning I did Live coaching in my Facebook   group about  how to get through adversity  and I thought I'd share a few tips with you as well. Hopefully, you are NOT facing any setbacks or obstacles right now, but in case you are these might help.  I've certainly faced my share of all the above on my quest to create my dream life and I've learned from each one. Though it's never easy to go through difficult times, there are ways you can make it easier and less of a setback, and over time, you can make them less frequent as well by learning from the past and making new decisions moving forward. Here are a few of my tips for handling adversity and how to move through the hard times as quickly as possible. How to positively handle adversity: Get some perspective. This is the first thing I try to do when I'm really going through a tough time or have just experienced a setback. I ask myself: "Is this gonna kill me? Can I survive it? Will I even remember facing it a year from now?" These questions help me remember that all adversity is temporary, and keeps me from making permanent decisions based on a temporary setback.  How badly do I want it? This is a great time to get re-focused on why I'm doing it in the first place. What is my dream? Why does it matter? Why do I want it? What will it feel like when I'm living it? All those questions get me back on track and help me start focusing on what I want, instead of dwelling on the current situation. Get that end-vision CLEAR!  Take accountability. This is a great time to ask yourself some tough questions, like "Did I manifest this?" What was I doing, thinking and saying previously that could have brought this into my life?" "What actions did I take, or choices did I make that got me to this point?" This is hard to do I know, but trust me it will help you steer clear of playing the victim, which is never productive.  What's the lesson? I always use tough times to search for the lesson. What is this experience trying to teach me? What is it preparing me for? What should I be learning now, so that I can be more prepared for my next breakthrough? I've learned that almost always, the tough times are getting us ready for our next level of success.  Do one small thing. Sometimes when we've faced a tough disappointment it's hard to "get back on the horse." We want to just quit, and so we stop doing the things we know we must do to reach our goals. Fight this by doing just one small thing each day for a few days. The last thing you want is momentum to come to a halt and you need the energy to shift back in your favor, so keep moving forward, one small step at a time. The more you learn from these situations the better you will be at navigating and avoiding them in the future. Of course, we can't control everything in life, and these moments are not entirely avoidable, that's just life, BUT we do have far more control over them than we may believe.  I believe that our thoughts predict our words, and our words predict our actions and those actions deliver results, so... if you don't like your results, or if you've repeated a pattern that gives you outcomes you dislike, it's time to change the root cause.  Negative thoughts produce negative outcomes. Thoughts of doubt and fear produce the feared result. Thoughts of lack, manifest more lack. Thoughts of unworthiness produce low self-confidence and self-sabotaging behavior.  Do an inventory of your thoughts over the past year or two and ask yourself, is what I'm going through related to what I've been thinking? If the answer is yes, then you know where to begin to start getting change!  If you need help learning how to change your thoughts... Read my books Hustle Believe Receive and  #FutureBoards . If you wanna go deeper into the work they suggest, get their companion workbooks . There is no reason to live a life you don't love. There's nothing preventing you from creating a life you DO love.
