Are you waking up overwhelmed, depleted, or just...blah? It's time to break those patterns! Join us as we dig into how to start your day with greater awareness, overcome that feeling of being overwhelmed, and prioritize self-care so you can make the most of every moment.

Understanding Your Wake-Up State

• Awareness is Key: Pay attention to how you're feeling when you wake up. Explore both your physical and emotional state.
• Body Check-in: Listen to your body's signals. Are you feeling depleted (physically or mentally), overwhelmed, or other sensations?
• Mind, Body, Spirit Triangle: Assess all three areas; don't just focus on your mental state.

Overcoming Overwhelm and Depletion

• Recognize Your Patterns: Notice the behaviors that might be exacerbating the problem (grabbing your phone, overthinking, neglecting self-care).
• The Power of the Pause: When overwhelmed, slow down or even momentarily stop to reset your system.
• Proactive vs. Reactive Toolkit: Have strategies in place for both when you're feeling grounded and when you're in a depleted state.
• Authentic Self-Care: It might be the very thing you don't want to do, but it's the most important. Push through the resistance for lasting benefits.
• Boundaries are Essential: Set healthy boundaries to protect your time, energy, and well-being.

Tools and Strategies

• Mind, Body, Spirit Check-Ins: Regularly take inventory of your overall well-being.
• "I Did" List: Celebrate accomplishments, big and small, to counter the scarcity mindset.
• Impact Effort Matrix: Strategize your activities based on effort and impact:
• High Impact, Low Effort: Prioritize these for quick wins when energy is low.
• High Impact, High Effort: Tackle these when you have more energy.
• Low Impact: Minimize or delegate these to conserve energy.
• "What Do I Need More Of?": Focus on expanding your resources and support network for greater resilience.

Remember:

• Self-awareness is a journey, not a destination. It's about recognizing patterns over time
• Be compassionate with yourself; you're human, not a robot
• Seek support – coaches, therapists, trusted friends – when needed.
