You know the word: “OVERWHELM!”
I mean how could you NOT be overwhelmed today, you may be thinking.
I used to say the word a lot, but one day I was talking to a friend about the state of my very justifiable overwhelm, and then I OUTLINED in DETAIL all the many reasons I was overwhelmed. Afterwards, I just felt depressed. Talking about it just made it so much worse. It certainly didn’t inspire me to get to what I needed to do. Talk about NOT being fired up!
One client decided to eradicate the word from her vocabulary. But it proved to be more challenging than she thought. What can we say instead? Here are some thoughts: “I have challenges I want to talk to you about.” Or “I need to prioritize some things.” Or “I am making choices.” In other words, it’s about shifting from being a victim of “too much to do,” to being pro-active, prioritizing, and making decisions about what works for you. That’s much more empowering!
Of course, this really is reflective of a deeper issue: how do we manage our energy? Studies are consistently showing that managing our energy is far more effective than managing our time, and I’ll talk more about that later!
BUT, IF YOU’RE IN THE SOUTH BAY AREA OF SO. CAL, COME TALK TO ME LIVE!!
STOP BY THE GRAND OPENING OF “CLUB ELEMENTUM,” THIS SUNDAY, 3/23/25from 12-3 at 1312 Aviation Blvd. This is the newest local Health and Wellness Center and I’ll be there. The owners are awesome practitioners – saved my life – and invited 15-20 local health and wellness to have tables in their parking lot and I’ll have new information to enhance your energy and free drawings!
Ample parking on both sides of Aviation as well as additional on the side.
Hope to see some of you there!!
