Why You Are Overwhelmed
“Has anyone seen my brain? It ran off screaming about being overwhelmed… I’d really like to have it back”.
Overwhelm can feel like a 25-foot unstoppable wave 🌊 sweeping your thoughts and emotions all over the place, leaving you with no sense of direction.
In today's modern world, that overwhelming feeling is extremely common.
Everybody is always crazy busy!
You probably find yourself thinking “How am I going to get all of these things done? This is crazy!”
Most people go through their crazy day then go to sleep only to wake up the next morning and repeat the process 🔁
What is causing me to feel overwhelmed?
On the surface, that overwhelmed feeling is just a reaction to difficult circumstances, a burden you feel you can’t handle.
Still, 🧠 our psyche can make this all so much worse than it needs to be, so let’s dig deep here, to the root of what causes the feeling.
Overwhelm is the lack of a clear-cut objective.
In simpler words;
If you don’t know exactly what you’re going to do, and by when you’re going to do it, you are going to feel overwhelmed.
You get up and go into the modern world and there are a million things bombarding you, begging for your attention.
There’s your personal responsibilities, your professional responsibilities, your goals, the notifications on your phone, you need to check your social media and make sure to post that photo…
“Ahhhh I’m so overwhelmed!” 🤯
📍 There’s no clear-cut objective.
🗓 There’s no schedule.
🗺 There’s no direction.
Of course, you’re going to feel overwhelmed!
Here’s the average overwhelmed person’s morning:
“I’m going to get up and go to work and do things, then I’m going to come home and relax and go to sleep”.
You can’t do that! That is exactly what’s hurting you!
Here’s what it should sound like:
“I’m going to get up and I’m going to have X done by X time.”
Start by setting one clear-cut goal that you will have achieved by a clearly-defined time.
🏗 Now build on it.
Build productive days by setting clear-cut goals by clearly-defined times… and watch that overwhelm begin to disappear from your life.
