In this episode of The Overwhelm Cure, I'm diving deep into understanding what overwhelm truly is, the signs and symptoms, and how we can manage it when we recognize it.
Drawing on insights from Brené Brown's 'Atlas of the Heart,' I explain the distinction between stress and overwhelm (there's a difference!)
I highlight the value of pausing before responding, having generous assumptions about others, and practicing self-awareness to break the cycle of chronic stress.
In this week's episode of The Overwhelm Cure, you'll hear about...
How stress can tip us into being overwhelmed
How a simple mindset change can help us stay calm and take control over our stress
Practical tips on pausing, reflecting before responding, and maintaining integrity in stressful situations
Managing your stress and ultimately improving your overall well-being
Plus, a personal story of my own overwhelm when I lost my wallet in Australia
