HOW OVERWHEM HAPPENS

Busyness

Comparison

Unrealistic expectations

Distraction and lack of focus on what matters

THE STRATEGIES I USE TO MANAGE OVERWHELM

1. Beautiful to-do lists
2. Gratitude journal
3. Worship music
4. Intentional margin
5. Cutting down on my list (keeping life simple and sweet)
6. Verbalizing what matters
7. Identifying my A/B/C priorities
8. Adding to my “champagne moments” journal
9. More quality time with my husband and family
10. Exercise
11. Hyper-focus on baby steps (stop overcomplicating things)
12. Doing something that scares me daily (typically this is just what I am avoiding)
13. The de-clutter method – 15-minutes of focused cleansing

LISTENER OF THE EPISODE:

Hi Trish,

I’ve discovered your podcasts about 3 months ago and I really love listening to them. I think you are doing an amazing job and I feel so identified in the younger you.

I am 21 and I rationally know I have an amazing life. I am attending the University of my dreams, I am healthy and I have a great and supportive family. Yet, I cant be happy and enjoy it because I am (and edpecially feel) fat. Ive been having food issues and low self esteem for 3 years now and I would really love to beat this and just be happy.

I was wondering if you could make some more podcasts about loving yourself and liking what you see in the mirror.. I know your story and the advice you can give us are maybe can become similar but I think it is so really important to hear one more time. And again. So that whenever we feel like quitting because something went wrong, you remind us that there is hope.

It happens to me to feel like a lost cause and by listening to your podcasts I feel motivated again I feel like I can do it. I hope I will really make it one day. Actually more than hoping I have to take this commitment and be brave and do not give up.

I just wanted to thank you again for sharing your story and make me believe that everything is possibile and there is always hope.

Sincerly,

Erica Conversano
