Build Clarity & Conquer Overwhelm
The best way to conquer self-doubt, beat overwhelm, and build clarity is not as difficult as you might think it is. After working with hundreds of ambitious and incredibly passionate clients, I realize a lot of us have ONE major thing in common. Want to learn how to ditch overwhelm, and start living your best life? Who am I kidding - of course you do! Keep reading!
3 Steps on how to Build Clarity & Beat Overwhelm:
#1. Chose the path of least resistance. Taking action and engaging in the work is the best form of building clarity. What steps can you take to get you out of the “frozen” or “stuck” state? Often times, my clients come up with these windy and extremely complex solutions to their problems. Yes, these solutions might work, but what about the easiest route? No bells and whistles, just small wins, small solutions.
#2. Avoidance is holding you back. So many of us avoid hard and difficult questions. We think avoiding the topic might get better over the long term, but, ultimately, avoidance is a tough trigger. You can’t therapize or coach yourself into knowing what you want, and avoiding the topic makes it worst. Hard truth: no one can help you figure out what you want – only you can!
When you try something new out, here are questions to reflect on and ask yourself:
1. Did this work for me?
2. What worked about this attempt?
3. What did not work about this process?
4. What will I do differently next time?
5. Is this the lifestyle I want for myself and for my family?
It all starts with baby steps. Literally one foot in front of the other.
#3. Be specific about what you want to eliminate. Write down what you want to eliminate from your workplace or life. Review your calendar & reflect on your To Do list, too. Based on your future goals, what do you need to eliminate that is irrelevant to your future goals? Pay close attention to things that are regularly part of your schedule. Perhaps there was a period of time when you committed to a task or a project, but you might have outgrown that task. What are you willing to give up so you can do more of something else?
The #1 thing holding you back is yourself.
We often get in our own way and overcomplicate the few steps that are required to breakdown clarity and beat overwhelm. Step aside from your overwhelm for a moment, and make sure to focus on steps #1-#3 above…. you got this!!!
