Feeling Overwhelmed? 12 Solutions To Change Your Life

Feeling overwhelmed? 

Do you have more to do - and less and less hours? 

Here´s the solution. 

What to do when feeling overwhelmed with life 

I’m going to reveal how to eliminate your feeling of overwhelming. 

Because I've been there. 

So I will give you the right solution. 

It’s the same strategies I used with dozens of clients to stop feeling overwhelmed. 

Now you feel overwhelmed because you have too many tasks. You feel you can’t handle the circumstances. This collapses your brain and prevents you from being productive. 

And you complain: "I should, I should, I should... !"

And it can go worse causing breathing difficulties, heart palpitations, or headaches.

Now:

Enough of being prisoner of feeling overwhelmed!

Feeling overwhelmed and depressed? Here is the SOLUTION:

If you’re a chronic “non-finisher,” you will discover how to change that. Just imagine how it would feel to:

• Eliminate your stress
• Get organized
• Sleep better

But first good news for you. 

Once I stop being a perfecionist I wrote more.

And I made more imperfect videos.

I produced more!

And they were perfect enough!

4. Inspiration is for amateurs

Don’t depend on inspiration.

You can wake up every morning smiling. Perfect. But do it for you, only to feel well.

But understand that to achieve your dreams, you need a system. You can’t wait for inspiration.

And this is what you must do to achieve your objectives:

Focus two hours every morning on your most important project.

Cut down interruptions.

Plan in advance, you will save dozens of hours every month so.

Nothing to do with inspiration.

So please don’t wait for inspiration.

And the key is simply realizing that every experience is priceless. And the bad ones will teach you much more.

So embrace the feeling of stress.  Don’t try to suppress it artificially. Simply think it’s a normal situation. It will pass and you will get smarter. And you´ll achieve peace of mind.

And get richer.

It’s only emotions. And you CAN control your emotions.

So whenever you feel overwhelmed, be an observer. It wasn’t the first time.

We always have the same problems. We are not so special as we think. It’s always the same worries and the same remembering of bad past scenes.

So see it as something normal. It was always so.

Once you see that feeling overwhelmed is a natural part of your life, you will conquer any feeling that holds you back.

7. Feel your body (The spiritual solution to feeling overwhelmed)

Be in the present.

So easy? Simply feeling the present?

Yes. It works.

Try this:

The next time you go to your kitchen to take a coffee simply feel. Stop thinking in the future.

Stop reviewing your past.

Stop hearing music.

You are consumed with what may or may not happen; office politics, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, the money…

Stop the noise!

Focus on your body.

Feel your clothes, your hands, and your chest. 

Feel.

This will relax you.

And it will clean your mind to be more productive.

And of course, yoga and meditation will also help you (even done the newbie way).

It exceeds the scope of this article speaking of the benefits of yoga and meditation. But try simply 5 daily minutes of meditation.

You will hear from professionals you need more time.

Nonsense.

Only 5 minutes of meditation!

Don’t move for 5 minutes.

Even 5 minutes will work wonders!

Trying to put your mind in blank is efficiency on steroids. Even if you do it wrong (and you will do it many times). You will notice incredible benefits in the long term. Even if all kinds of thoughts interrupt your meditation.

Simply sit alone with your back straight and try not to think.

Want to know the best part?

The benefits will be incredible. And after some time you will enlarge it to 10 or more minutes.

But even only five minutes will change your life.

So easy?

Yes, so easy.

8.  Eliminate unrealistic expectations (The X3 Strategy)

We plan wrongly.

It’s always the same, you want this and that and you establish a deadline.

But then you NEVER finish on time.

And it’s not because you are inefficient. You aren’t unproductive. No.

What´s the bottom line then?

It´s because you plan wrongly.

And the key to productivity is planning right.

Yet we are over-optimistic 99% of the time. Because you don’t realize that:

Everything takes 3 TIMES longer

 then what you planned initially.

So to avoid feeling overwhelmed because you didn’t reach the deadline, realize it’s because you were too optimistic when planning. (Usually it was an inspired moment where everything seemed bright).

But if you plan well you can change this. I’m sure you’ve heard that “You are too optimistic about what you can achieve in a year, but too pessimistic about what you can achieve in five.”

So therefore use the X3 Strategy.

The X3 Strategy

From now on whenever you plan something, even if you think you took everything into account

 MULTIPLY BY 3 the days you think it will take.

So you will eliminate tons of bad moments of overwhelming.

And finally you will kill the unpredictability that rules your life today.

I insist, it’s about planning right. And it’s as easy as multiplying X3 your initial calculations.

You will feel immediately better.

9.  The “Is this really so bad?” strategy

Your problems aren’t as bad as you think.

(If in doubt go to your nearest hospital and take a walk through the waiting rooms.)

One of the easiest ways to stop worrying about your life is doing something nice for someone who is in a worse situation than you. -And believe me, you have lots of people around you in a worse situation.-

So do something for someone. Give him or her a call. Say how you appreciate something they did in the past.

This is more valuable than money.

Once you begin thinking about others, your problems take another perspective. “Are my problems really so bad?” you think. And you will feel relieved.

It’s so easy thinking that everyone is in a better situation than you. But no, you are in a very good position.

In fact, if you are reading this, you belong to a chosen minority of 10% of people who want to improve. The best positioned in every field. It´s also the best way to overcome adversity.

So give your energy to others and this energy will go back to you. Multiplied.

It’s something karmic. Don’t ask me why.   

10. The old-fashioned “taking action”

Things change fast when you start doing something.

Imagine feeling overwhelmed with a big project in front of you. You will never finish it! And you begin to paint the worst scenario in your mind.

Enough! Stop thinking. Thinking is good, do it one hour every day.

But the rest of the moments take action.

If you need advice to get self-discipline click here.

Invest 5 minutes in the project that most “oppress” you. Something small is enough. But never try to do it everything at a time, because then the overwhelming symptoms appear.

Look, a big project is uncontrollable. But don’t let this distract you. You can only focus on one thing at a time.

You are already much better than 90% of people who never try.

So the key is starting small and building momentum.

And there is a second benefit of acting. In just that moment:

You won’t feel overwhelmed. Because you won’t think.

That’s why you hear that working is good for your health.

The key is always starting small and building momentum. For everything. For your habits and for your productivity.

So think, what big project makes you feel overwhelmed? And then take a small step. Only 5 minutes.

This will change everything.

The moment you think you have too much work, it’s the moment to do little work. Simply 5 minutes attacking your big project.

Everything changes when you start doing something.

The ones that go far aren’t those who attack the big projects like crazy. It’s the ones who attack in small bites.

Because it’s the ones that never surrender.

And they won’t feel overwhelmed, they know they are doing their best and every day they see an improvement.

11. The 5 deep breaths solution. (The fast one)

You can solve tons of problems simply breathing deeply.

When you breathe profoundly your body relaxes immediately. You inject oxygen into your cells and feel relieved.

And it gets better.

In the long term, this will prevent cancer, heart attacks, and other diseases.

Try it now! Simply take a deep breath. NOW.

Don’t you feel better?

Your brain in peace and your muscles more relaxed. (Which at the same time calms your brain even more). Feel it.

Everything is also the same benefits as a good diet.

So if you want to benefit from more benefits of breathing ALWAYS, follow this exercise daily:

Take 5 deep breaths 3 times per day.

With 5 deep breaths, you will recover your energy. Yet do it 3 times per day and your energy will go to the roof.

Try it now:

• Breathe in slowly through the nose (3 seconds)
• Let your belly expanded (3 seconds)
• Exhale slowly from your mouth  (3 seconds)

Your new breathing exercise will eliminate feeling overwhelmed and make you much more productive.

And healthy.

12. Your Arsenal of Past Successes

You have an insatiable desire for more. It’s an ancient mechanism of your brain to survive. It’s good so.

But so you don’t appreciate everything you have now.

So turn it around.

Be grateful.

You did more than you think.

And therefore go to your past achievements. Remember

• that skill you managed
• or that brilliant sentence you said.

And you will feel immediately better.

The problem is, you’re too busy to get inspired trying to remember past successes.

And therefore you need an

ARSENAL OF PAST SUCCESSES

And you have them.

Come on! Stop feeling overwhelmed. There are lots of things you did well (otherwise you wouldn’t read this).

Be creative, there were good books you read and advice you gave to others. Remembering such things will inspire you.

Be grateful for what you have. And therefore make your inventory. Have your ARSENAL OF PAST SUCCESSES.

You must review the things you did well and the good skills you have now.

You need them to continue improving.

It´s the best self-growth strategy.

If you want more self-growth strategies here they are:

And there are many things you did well, believe me.

Your arsenal of past successes is the cool version of a gratitude journal. Yet you don’t need to write that. Simply keep them in mind. And your subconscious will do the rest.

It’s good pursuing big goals, but there are moments where you have to stop and be aware of what you did. It’s an error people do, not remembering the good things.

So if you now don’t remember your past successes, think for five minutes on 3 past achievements. No matter how big or small.

Look in your past and you will find brilliant moments where you passed that test, exercised hard, helped somebody, or make a great joke without trying.

With such an arsenal you will win mental power whenever you need it.
