Tips To Stop Overwhelm
Overwhelm is not an emotion!
Overwhelm is a result of a habit that stops you from creating health.
Overwhelmed is the symptom of a habit. It is not an emotion. Let's unpack that. I'm going to say it again. It's simple, but you have to wrap your head around it.
Overwhelm is not an emotion. It is the symptom of a habit. Now I have a question for you. How many times have you been overwhelmed? I know my husband used to have a running joke, and he'd say, if I had a dollar for every time you said, I'm so overwhelmed, I'd be a multimillionaire.
That was my number one emotion that would come up. Now, you might experience overwhelm. Also, if you do, it stops you from creating health or creating anything else in your life, for that matter. So let's go to some facts.
Fact number one:
Your subconscious wants to keep you exactly the same as you are right now.
Exactly the same. It does not want you to change because it is safe right now. And so it wants to keep you exactly the same. But we say we want something better, right?
We want to be healthy. Well, if we want something different than what we have right now, we have to do something different, which means we have to push against the subconscious. Now, if you have had that experience of overwhelm, it's the habit of not being present.
It's the habit of looking at all of the things you have to do instead of taking action on one thing...
So to stop the overwhelm, we have to be in the present, not looking at all the things in the future that we have to do. The more we cave to the overwhelm, the stronger our subconscious rules us and the harder it is to create health.
So start taking micro-actions... Taking action on something, even if it is small, makes all the difference.
Overwhelm is not an emotion. Say it with me. Overwhelm is not an emotion. It's the product of a habit. And the habit is looking at everything.
It's so simple. Overwhelm is not an emotion. It's the product of habit building. That muscle takes daily action.
We start our morning with the sun, we end our day with the sunset. Sunrise, sunset.
