What if, instead of constantly feeling overwhelmed, you were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and celebrate your success?

 

What if, rather than never feeling like you have enough time to do something just for yourself, you actually had “me” time to refresh and rejuvenate?

 

Imagine a life where you finally felt like you were in control, you could sit back and celebrate your achievements, and life didn’t feel so….overwhelming.

 

If that sounds great, but you’re thinking “that’ll never be me,” then today’s episode is just the fuel you need to spark change in your life.

 

For high achievers, overwhelm seems like it’s just par for the course, but normalizing consistent cycles of overwhelm isn’t the answer. Rather than settling for a quick fix, real change means getting to the root of the problem. But often, we can’t see it because we’re lacking the tools (and the time) to make such a big shift on our own.

 

Today, Blake asks you to think about what it would feel like if you were in control. What would it feel like if you woke up every day with peace of mind and truly felt accomplished? In this episode, you’ll learn the effects that overwhelm can have on your life, and the false assumption you might be holding on to about why you can’t reduce the responsibility that you’re carrying. She also shares an exercise with 5 tips that will help you identify what would need to happen in order to create change.

 

It’s time to recognize that something needs to change and you can do something about it.
