We all are required to juggle multiple projects and tasks at any given time. But there comes a time when everything that's on our to-do plate may just become too much causing mental anxiety. At a time when we need to be at our best, we all but shut down. So how do you pick up the pieces again? Listen as I share my methods for carrying on after being brought to my knees.

This week I've been on a bit of a whirlwind. Between the headaches, the tiredness, the nausea, and some serious emotional turmoil, it has been hard to stay present to say the least.

The key to overcoming these knee-jerk responses is by first learning how to recognize when they're happening.
