Dealing with Overwhelm and Anxiety

Coach James Short Podcast

Coach James Shorty discusses strategies for managing overwhelm and anxiety, particularly after returning from holidays or breaks. He emphasises the importance of recognising and addressing these feelings to maintain confidence and momentum in achieving goals. He shares a client story to illustrate the seven steps he recommends for dealing with overwhelm and anxiety. The steps include: 1) Taking a physical break by going for a walk, 2) Focusing on breathing to calm the mind, 3) Conducting a brain dump to externalise thoughts, 4) Categorising tasks to bring clarity, 5) Prioritising tasks to identify the most important, 6) Selecting the top three priorities to focus on, and 7) Taking action on those priorities. By following these steps, individuals can transition from feelings of overwhelm and anxiety to confidence and momentum in their tasks and goals. #stressrelief #overwhelm #anxiety #mentalhealth
