Let's live life to the fullest
without going into overwhelm
mode.
Do You Sometimes Feel Overwhelmed?
Ric and I decided to switch our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system at the beginning of the year. I signed up in January for a training program in April in Denver - I figured it is often slow right before the tax deadline...so it would be a good time to go. 

However, things this year are a bit different and we are busy. The trainings in Denver were very long days (Thursday was 12 hours and Friday 10 hours). Friday when I got back to my room and listened to phone messages, I found out my mom's health was worse than I thought, and decisions had to be made. 

Ric called me later that night to check in and see how I was doing. I was ready to burst in to tears and felt exhausted. I can usually handle things pretty well, but this really hit me, and I was completely overwhelmed.

When I'm confronted with an issue and need help, I usually Google it. I came across this website ( https://www.calmclinic.com/anxiety/symptoms/feeling-overwhelmed  ) and thought I'd share with you what I read:
How to Stop Feeling Overwhelmed
It is possible to control this feeling, although it comes in parts. Ideally, the best way to stop feeling overwhelmed from anxiety is to control your anxiety. But in the interim, here are several tips for overcoming these strong physical and mental symptoms:
  • Find Distractions Obviously for something to feel overwhelming, distracting yourself is difficult. But there are some strategies that can still be effective. One that many people find beneficial is to simply call someone on your cell phone. Talking on a phone is hard for the mind to do while still focusing on your anxiety, thus stopping your anxiety from getting too out of control.
  • Go For a Walk Like talking on the phone, walking itself can make it harder for your mind and body to be as overwhelmed. When you walk, you take in lots of new information. You see things, you feel things, and you smell things with each step that you take. Walking also helps move blood around your body and is a good tool for controlling your breathing and heart rate.
  • Controlled Breathing The reason controlling your breathing is important is because anxiety symptoms can actually create new anxiety symptoms. A great example of this is hyperventilation, a common anxiety symptom that occurs during anxiety attacks. Hyperventilation occurs when you don't allow your body to create enough carbon dioxide because you breathe it out too quickly, resulting in feelings of faint, chest pains, and lightheadedness. Hyperventilation also makes it feel as though you need to take deeper breaths which ultimately make it worse. So controlled breathing (breathing in very slowly, breathing out very slowly) is a great way to control this experience.
  • Journaling When your thoughts are too overwhelming, another effective thing to try is journaling. Writing out your thoughts in a permanent place has been shown to have a very powerful effect on your mind. It's as though your mind relaxes about the thoughts because they're on paper. So if thoughts are overwhelming, write them down more to experience some relief.
  • Exercise Exercise is also a powerful tool to combat feeling overwhelmed for two reasons. First, it tires out your muscles and improves your breathing so that your symptoms are not as severe. Secondly, it floods relaxing neurotransmitters into your brain and tires your mind so that you can't have as many overwhelming thoughts. Exercise is not just for your physical health and can be a powerful tool to combat anxiety.
  • Once you have your anxiety more under control, you can also start trying various anxiety reduction strategies.

 

I am doing much better now. On the plane I listened to a book on tape (distraction), at home I went on a nice (walk) and to the gym (exercise), mediated (controlled breathing), was home with my dog (distraction) and I have the love of family and friends (not on the list).
 
If you find yourself in overwhelm mode, remember the tips I found online.
I wish you much Joy!
Hugs, Christie
