In this podcast episode, the host explores the concept of overwhelm, its underlying causes, and effective ways to tackle it. He emphasizes that overwhelm isn't just about having too many tasks; it's more about our mental and emotional reactions to them. By shifting our mindset from "it's making me overwhelmed" to "I'm creating my own overwhelm," we can regain control. The episode presents seven practical strategies: practice deep breathing to calm your nervous system; prioritize tasks and tackle them one at a time; create a focused to-do list; cut back on commitments; engage in activities you love; build stress resilience through intense exercise and recovery; and maintain a stress journal to recognize patterns and triggers.
