The question of the week is: "How do I stop feeling overwhelmed?"

Executive Coaches Danielle and Maikel talk about what it means to feel overwhelmed and provide tips on how to move out of the "feeling Overwhelmed" to "feeling calm and focus". 

Let's define what it means to feel overwhelmed: it is defined as being overcome or overpowered by force or numbers by thought or feelings. This feeling bubbles over us and we feel crushed under the pressure. But it does not have to be that way. Life will always get in the way. Learn how you can create a habit of moving quickly from feeling overwhelmed to feeling calm and focused. You can start immediately and experience a new way to pursue your goals. 

The first tip is so counterintuitive, you won't believe it...until you try it for yourself! Imagine an athlete in a biathlon whose goal is to not only win the race, but she must also stop and shot at a target. She can't continue racing until she has hit the target, only to move on to the next target where she has to stop again. Your instinct would be to hurry, to go as fast as you can so you can win the race. But, you must slow down, you must slow your breathing so you can take the shot. The same thing happens for your goals. When you are racing to the next thing. It might be worth trying to slow down, to slow your breathing so you can take the shot. Applying this technique when you feel overwhelmed is a game changer!

There are four things you can do immediately to help get out of the habit of feeling overwhelmed.
