3 Tips to stop being overwhelmed

When life is having a strong emotional effect on you, to the point where you begin to feel buried, discourages or temporarily dazed and confused, its the perfect moment to read these three tips:

1. Prioritize

Make a detailed list of everything you are doing so you have a clearer idea where your limits are and what you feel comfortable delegating.  This may require setting up a meeting with people, seeking professional advice or counsel to discuss or explore.

2. Brainstorm strategy 

Once you have the information directly in front of you, this is the moment to brainstorm or mindmap a way to better handle the situation (or many situations) you may have come to juggle.

3. Take steps to believe in yourself

Whether you are a leader who's role involves inspiring team players to value their unique contributions and develop confidence or, whether you are simply ready to get your own life in order, take steps to build your own confidence. Where the will exists, a way can be found.

Living authentically now

Many people come to seek fulfillment outside of themselves and forget the feeling that arises from being true to the self, from living authentically now.

This is the moment to step back and take a whole new look at how you respond to the world you create for yourself.  Before going further, its imperative to take responsibility for all you choose to experience.

Step back. Be honest. Notice whether you are a proactive go getter or, a more passive responder to your surroundings. Its never too late to choose a new way to view yourself, the world and how you can proceed together.  Effective listening changes everything. Tune into your own signs and signals.
