It’s best to avoid overwhelm but at points in our lives we are all faced with it and it manifests itself differently in everyone.

Gordon shares some great content on the different ways overwhelm can manifest itself and the signs to look out for and great advice on what to do to get back to a place of status quo in your life when you have reached a point of overwhelm.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you are someone who likes to make rapid decisions then a slowing down of the decision-making process can be an indicator of overwhelm
• If you are someone who likes to be at the centre of things you may be feeling overwhelmed if you start to move away from others
• For those who are steady in moving forward overwhelm may manifest itself as a change of pace, either speeding up or slowing down
• If you are someone who is a safe pair of hands, with every decision calculated overwhelm may manifest as rushed decision making
• When you feel overwhelmed you can take steps to return to completing only your core routines along with eating healthy and exercising
• You need to find something that helps you quieten your mind
• Take a step back analyse the situation and take actions that will get you back to the status quo
• Try and reduce the overwhelm as soon as you start to feel it
• You need to do what works for you to return to a balance without overwhelm
