"I can't do this any more", "This is too much", "Life is too hard" and "I want out". 

What can we do when we start to feel this way? 

What can you do when life just seems too intense? 

I talk about 5 ways of dealing with these feelings. 

1. Come back to the basics - the fundamentals of eating, moving and sleeping
2. Work with the traffic light system of Brian Cain. Am I good and feeling good or is it red and time to shift how I feel? 
3. Put your phone down. We are often overwhelmed by the amount of data we are bombarded with. Turn your phone off at 6pm and turn back on at 9am 
4. Iceberg Technique. See your younger wounded self. Where have you felt this same feeling before. 
5. Inner critic. Listen to the words you are telling yourself. Is it kind and benevolent words like, "You can do this!" "You've got this!" or "You're a piece of crap!" I share a technique I use for changing the voice around.
