Overwhelm often comes from thoughts like…

I have so much to do. I don't know what to do. I'm so behind.

I don't know where to start. I'll never get this all done. I suck.

These are just thoughts. They are sentences in your head. They aren't necessarily true.

But thinking them can lead you to become overwhelmed and self-critical.

Sometimes the simple act of writing all the things down that are in your head can help you feel less overwhelmed.

In this episode I’m walking you through a simple exercise called “The Holiday Thought Dump”

Doing a holiday thought dump helps you clear out all of the jumble of junk in your mind, leaving space for your brain to work out solutions.

Sometimes the key to overwhelm is just about giving your brain one task to solve at a time.

The other cool thing I teach you in today’s episode is the YES list.

What happens when you dump out all the things you “have” to do, is that you can start thinking about the things you want to do!

Kick off December 2022 with hope and clarity, instead of overwhelm and grumpiness.

✅ Where overwhelm comes from

✅ How a holiday thought dump helps give you clarity

✅ Prompts to get you thinking about what you WANT to do this holiday
