Unlocking the Feeling of Overwhelm

Today we will  talk about  the feeling of Overwhelm.  I think it is a fair thing to say that we have all experienced this feeling at times.  The feeling you get when you think that there is too much to do and not enough time to do it all.  Where you feel like you are constantly running faster and faster to finish, but there is always more to do.  Does this sound familar? We are going to discuss where this overwhelm may be coming from and what reacting to it might look like for you.   Then I will give you some tools  that will help you start to unlock your own feelings of overwhelm.  This is one of the areas that I coach with my clients on regularly.

I will be asking a lot of questions for you to think about.  I find it helpful to write my answers down where I can really look at what is happening in my brain.  Since it isn't very practical to pause the podcast in order to write your answer, I have included the questions here in the show notes for you.  If you are feeling stuck in the feeling of overwhelm, I can help.  I have open slots in my calendar next week specifically for those of you who are feeling overwhelmed.  Follow the link below and set up a Free coaching session with me.  We can take a look at the specific area in your life that is causing the most overwhelm for you and work on it together to help you to understand where it is coming from and how you can feel unstuck.
