Quick Tips to Try When You're Feeling Overwhelmed [Ask Lisa]
Text your thoughts and questions!
According to Gretchen Rubin’s Four Tendencies, I am a questioner by nature. In addition to constantly asking why, I also love answering questions too. I appreciate the challenge and the encouragement to reflect, which is probably why I love coaching. That’s why when I received a couple of related questions surrounding the topic of overwhelm, I wanted to take the time to answer them on the podcast, as I think my responses can be helpful for all of us. This week, episode 233 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about quick tips to try when you’re feeling overwhelmed.
In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I’m giving you practical advice when dealing with various types of overwhelm, how to manage your energy, and how to find the systems that make your life easier.
I cover the following topics:
- How you can begin sorting through everything when you’re overwhelmed (after taking care of yourself first).
- Advice for finding, learning, and actually using new systems that work for YOU.
- Tips for overcoming the paralyzing feelings of overwhelm and depression that creep up.
Keep in mind that even when the overwhelm differs, the approach to help it is very similar. Take a moment to care for yourself, approach the situation with self-compassion, and make space to focus so you can decide what’s next.
