EP174 Eight ways to move out of overwhelm when everything feels exhausting
What happens when even looking at your to-do list makes you want to shut down? How do you get yourself re-energized when basic adulting feels like too much?
I've found it empowering to have a menu of choices — or a toolbox — I can go to when I experience those feelings. It's a collection of strategies I can pick from which have worked in the past, so I can choose whichever one feels easiest to me at the time.
In this episode, I'm sharing 8 approaches that work for me:
- Give yourself permission to stop doing and thinking
- Choose self-comfort or self-care
- Get out of your head and regain perspective
- Tap into your vision, legacy, and long term goals
- Dump the stress by planning and batching tasks
- Eliminate tasks and go back to basics
- Ease your way into productivity mode with quick wins
- Tackle the task that's creating the most anxiety
