64 \\ 3 Ways to Help Decrease Overwhelm

Overwhelm and stress are sneaky, and will always try to work themselves into our life. Although we can't completely avoid them, having the tools to recognize and quickly work through them is powerful. Healthy habits are for more than just nutrition and fitness, but working to have a high EQ (emotional intelligence) for yourself and others and being intentional with your choices to work through hard times will help you to feel calmer, more in control, and maintain a healthy balance of stress in your life.

Being "always on" or available is not healthy. People love it because it serves them, but I would argue it does more harm than good - for others and yourself. You need to know it's ok to have healthy boundaries, and the more you level-up and stop people-pleasing, the more you will be able to perform at a high level because you are taking time for you.

Control is a powerful tool that is practiced, respected, and used properly can accomplish amazing things. Many of us try to control people and situations out of fear and / or selfishness, but what we really need to practice controlling is ourselves. If you've ever felt out of control and not sure what to do or how to move forward, this episode is for you. The sooner we can take control in a healthy way, the sooner we can move forward, grow, and experience true, healthy change.

None of us are perfect, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't work on improving. Change is uncomfortable, but it is within your control - which is exciting, and also scary. If you want to see your life and relationships improve, you need to commit to being uncomfortable to work on your blind spots. When we improve our life, it improves others' as well. It's another way of loving the people in our life, but modeling what's possible and becoming better - for ourselves, and them too.
