  • Well Planned: Overwhelm vs. Laziness

    Could you discuss the difference between the feeling of overwhelm of taking on too much versus just being lazy and needing to get up and get stuff done?

    On this episode of the Plan Simple Meals Podcast, I’m back with my friend Megan Flatt for Well Planned, the series where we answer your questions about planning. Megan is a business coach who focuses on business growth strategies for female entrepreneurs — specifically mama entrepreneurs—women who are running thriving businesses while still maintaining the “home fire” so to speak. She Post-it notes and planning as much as I do.


    Today we have a question from Maggie, a mom of four small kids who has one side business with her husband and is trying to start another one. She asks about the difference between overwhelm and taking on too much versus just feeling lazy about getting stuff done.


    First we want to take out the idea of being lazy. As a mom you are taking care of people, that’s not lazy. Megan reframed the issue as: Is this a situation where I need to get my act together and put a plan in place and take action—or am I overwhelmed because I just have too much going on? So often we tell ourselves we need to be better at time management or be more productive, but really we just literally have too many things happening.


    We dive into getting clearer on what you feel and why, plus tools for dealing with the feeling that you just can’t get stuff done. We talk about:


    • Checking in with your body and trusting your intuition



    • Knowing your stress or overwhelm triggers



    • The power of doing a brain dump, but not making it your to do list



    • Getting really clear on the end goal so we know why we’re pushing to do something—and how this helps us take down time (which by the way doesn’t mean you are being lazy!)



    • How to use Post-it notes to stay focused on our end goal (or as Megan likes to say, Do less better)



    • Checking in on basic self-care like sleep, food, hydration



    • Not letting overwhelm be a habit

    You will get prompted to record your question and we’ll try to answer it.


    Megan Flatt is a Mama CEO and a business growth strategist. She’s been working with clients for years to create strategic growth plans in their business that allow them to scale while still being present for the important moments in their families’ lives. She shows Mama CEOs with big vision and great ideas how to get those big CEO ideas into a day-by-day plan where they actually happen.

What really caused you to feel that way? Were you over tired? Had you skipped lunch or had too much coffee? Were you afraid you were forgetting something? Was your to do list too long? Had you been bombarded with needs as soon as you walked in the door? Was a messy space causing you stress? Knowing what causes you stress helps you find the tools to defuse it.

Megan gets stressed when she feels like she might be forgetting something or doesn’t know all the things she needs to do, so she does a big brain dump. Somebody else might get stressed when they skip exercise, so they know they need to get to the gym or go for a run when things start pressing down on them.
     
    CHECK IN ON BASIC SELF CARE. There are a lot of things that come under the umbrella of self care, but soo many times we miss the basics. Next time you are feeling overwhelmed or like you just can’t motivate to do something, check in on the basics. Ask yourself: Have I slept? Have I eaten? Have I had enough water? Have I moved my body today?
     
    POST-IT NOTE PLANNING. Try Megan’s practice for doing less better with Post-it notes. Start by defining the results you want. I could be the amount of revenue you want to earn from a launch or how you want to feel at the end of the weekend with your family. Think of three things that need to happen to get you to that result. Then do a brain dump putting each idea on a separate Post-in. Once you have all your ideas down, you start to organize them under your three ideas. If any of your Post-its don’t fit, put them to the side. These are things that you may want to eliminate, delegate, or save for another time.

  • Doable Change: Create a Smoothie Lifestyle
    Remember that every single green drink you create is an investment in your quality of life — now and always. ~Kris Carr, Crazy Sexy Juice
    It is no secret that I LOVE smoothies!
    Here is the deal. I do not love to cook by nature. I have figured out how to find joy in the kitchen because I love to feel good, and I discovered that what I eat can make me feel great or pretty bad. The think about smoothies is they are a fast and yummy way to get my fruits and veggies, super foods, and hydration.
    I use smoothies to start the day off well, during the 3pm slump instead of coffee or a cookie, and before going out.
    Because the food is blended, I feel it differently, and it is so much easier to digest!
    Smoothies are a great tool for a family trying to live a healthy and vibrant life. I want to make sure you have the resources you need to make this change in your life.
    In order to make this a lifestyle change, my suggestion is just to focus on this one thing for a week. Commit to a smoothie lifestyle, plan for it, prep for it, and have fun fitting smoothies into you days in different ways.
    At the end of a week, you will have some new smoothie practices, and hopefully feel great!
    Here are some things you might consider:
    Look up some great recipes. There are recipes in the FREE SMOOTHIE PLANNING PACKET, and our friends at Simple Green Smoothies have some great ideas.
    Designate a day of the week where smoothies will be the family snack.
    Designate a day of the week where you will send a smoothie to school.
    Create your own morning green smoothie practice.
    Build your pantry with smoothie ingredients.
    Build your freezer with smoothie ingredients.
    Find a friend and swop smoothies throughout the week. Accountability is a great thing when trying to create a new habit!
    Buy straws, to-go cups, ball jars or thermoses to make drinking smoothies more portable or fun.
    Find a protein powder you love. Remember to make sure it is whole food vs. isolated protein. I love Juice Plus Complete.
    Get a high-speed blender. Here is a link for a refurbished 5200 with free shipping… which is what I recommend.
    Don’t have the funds for a high-speed blender? Create a Vitamix plan. Can you set money aside each month? Is there someone (or a group of people) who always get you gifts you don’t use… can they help?
    Come share what you create and ask Qs on Instagram! Use the hashtag #plansimplemeals so we can see you, or just come join the smoothie conversation wherever you see a smoothie image!
    Here are the links I shared in this episode…

  • Compassion by Design with Jennifer Bronsnick

    On this episode of the Plan Simple Meals Podcast, I’m really excited to talk with Jennifer Bronsnick, a mom coach and human design specialist. Not sure what human design is? I didn’t know either, but it’s pretty amazing.

    We actually start by Jennifer explaining human design. She says it’s pretty straightforward: “How can you get out of your head and tune into your intuition and tap into your gut, that inner knowing, that inner voice so that your life path unfolds just how it should be.” Human design is a tool that helps you find out what you’re here to do, what your life purpose is. And helps you make decisions that are in alignment with your soul rather than doing what we think we are supposed to do.


    She talks about the different types within human design. In the links below you can see how to get your chart read to figure out your type. Jennifer talks about how running charts for family members provides insight into family dynamics and how people work together.


    We talk about:


    • Sleep to help prevent burnout and how different Human Design types need different sleep



    • Knowing your own early burnout cues



    • Understanding our own nutritional needs, based on bio-individuality or listening to yourown body and what works for you



    • Mindfulness as a tool, including EFT (tapping), meditation, and guided self-hypnosis



    • The option of saying no



    • A reminder that you are enough: “You are not alone, you’re doing a good job, you are strong and you are enough”



    BIO


    Jennifer Bronsnick, MSW, LCSW is passionate about supporting individuals to heal from burnout and families to be resilient. As a mother of three daughters under 9 and a survivor of postpartum depression and anxiety, Jennifer knows exactly how challenging life can be. She also knows that there is hope for all of us and with accurate information, support and inspiration that everyone has the capacity to thrive.


    Jennifer’s years of clinical experience as a social worker, her training in Mindfulness, Human Design, EFT and other healing modalities gives her the unique ability to guide individuals on their path to health and wellness. You can also learn more about Jennifer at www.themindfulfamily.com.

    WORK WITH YOUR TYPE. Your Human Design type can give you so much insight into your purpose and what you need. I’m fascinated by the idea that different types have different sleep needs! While it isn’t the answer to everything, it’s another tool to help you make decisions in alignment. Check out Jennifer’s website or the link she suggested to get your chart read and learn about your type.
    TRY TAPPING. EFT is a healing tool that uses tapping on certain points in the body. If you’ve never tried it, consider adding it to your tool box. Use the links above to get the basics on tapping. Then commit to tapping every day for a week. If you’ve tried tapping in the past, but let it fall away, try adding it back into your day.
    LEARN TO SAY NO. Jennifer talks about how different types are better able to respond to different types of questions. Generators work better with yes or no questions while projectors work better with invitations. Either way, listening to your gut and practicing saying No to things that you don’t want to do is a powerful way to avoid overwhelm. This week, practice noticing how you feel about a request, question, or invitation and then respond accordingly, whether the answer is Yes or No – indecision is exhausting!

  • Well Planned—Dealing with Overwhelm with Megan Flatt
    It’s another part of our Well Planned series on the Plan Simple Podcast. I’m talking again my friend Megan Flatt, a business coach to Mama CEOs and pro at planning. We’re taking on a question from the audience today. Angela is getting back into her business and blog and feeling really overwhelmed — and like she needs to be making some money.
    Megan and I agree that getting all your ideas out on paper helps when you’re facing overwhelm. Once it’s down on paper, you stop worrying about the things you might forget. Plus you can start to make sense of things—figure out what has to happen now (hint: It’s not everything), what you can hold off on, delegate, or let go of all together.
    We dive into getting past overwhelm, dealing with breaking back in after a break, and both practical and mindset approaches to the money piece.
    We talk about:
    Writing down the stories in your head and seeing if they are even true
    Using a brain dump to get out all your ideas and a 90-day plan to make sense them
    Starting with the results you want
    The importance of grounding yourself so that you can listen to your intuition
    Making the right next decision instead of getting paralyzed by all the steps
    Doubling down on what works

    Doable Changes from this episode:
    KNOW THE RESULTS YOU WANT. Before you take the next step or even create a plan, think about what results you want. If you know where you are headed, you can make better decisions about how you choose to spend time, money, and other resources. So right now, get clear on your results.
    MAKE THE RIGHT NEXT MOVE. Are paralyzed by all the things you could do or feel like you should do, or by all the steps to get to your goal? Make one decision. What is the one next thing you need to do? Decide that and do it today. Then repeat.
    LISTEN TO YOURSELF. Most of the time, even when you are overwhelmed or feeling really uncertain, you know what you want and need to do. We offer a few of ways listen to yourself. Try getting really quiet. This might mean meditating or going for a walk or doing a big braindump and then covering it up so you can breathe into the space in your head. Listen to what your intuition tells you. Say what you are going to do and notice how your body feels—do you tense up or light up? That’s a clue. Or literally listen to yourself. Megan suggests talking to a good friend, one who can listen without advising, because sometimes just hearing yourself say an idea aloud gives you clarity. Pick one of these tools and try listening to yourself the next time you feel overwhelmed.
