586: 5 Ways to Decrease Overwhelm (Mindset & Self-Care)


Listen Later

In this episode, we're going to talk about 5 ways to manage feelings of overwhelm in entrepreneurship.

If you are an entrepreneur long enough, you are bound to experience times when you have to evolve or you can't go on. Often, when you're in a state of complete overwhelm, it's a signal that something needs to change. I think most of us want to stay passionate about what we do but we don't want to get buried by to do lists and business projects. Here are 5 ways I manage overwhelm and keep a positive outlook.

Action Plan:

1 - Time Tracking: Track everything you do for a minimum of 3 days, preferably 7 days. Comb through the data to identify where you're spending your time and make changes to reduce draining activities.

2 - Exercise and Self-Care: Commit to a daily habit of exercise, even if it's just 10 minutes and engage in self-care activities like meditation war spending time in nature, reading, or creative pursuits.

3 - Take a Break: Listen to your gut and take a break, whether it's a 30-minute break during the day or a longer, week-long or month-long break from your business. Giving yourself this time off can help reset and reduce overwhelm.

4 - Limit Tech and Social Media: Reduce the time you spend on your phone, computer, and social media platforms. The constant connectivity can contribute to feelings of anxiety and overwhelm.

5 - Laugh and Love: Surround yourself with situations and people that bring you joy, laughter, and love. Spend time with friends, family, or pets, and engage in activities that make you smile.
