Hey there, enthusiasts for a more cooperative world. My name is Monisha and thank you for spending some time with me today.

The topic of today’s vlog is I’m sure a hot one, because most people in life that are playing a big game tend to feel this emotion. It is the emotion of overwhelm. I cannot tell you how many people I’ve worked with that just continually find themselves in a place of overwhelm.

I’m going to give you three things to do when you find yourself gearing into that mode. The first is to just pause and ask, “What do you need?” Literally stop what you’re doing, close your eyes and tap into that internal guideness that is there for you. The more you do this, the more it’ll be there for you, and simply ask what you need. Maybe your nervous system’s hyping up because you just haven’t eaten, or maybe you need to take a deep breath or maybe you need to drink some water. It might just be something that simple that can help root you back in, instead of feeling that heightened sense of overwhelm.

The second thing you can do is get into a practice of gratitude. It is literally amazing what this does. Sometimes when we’re moving so quickly and we have so many things to do and all these balls are in the air, if you can just slow down and focus on the things that you’re grateful for, it is amazing what that will do for your energy level. It truly ups the game. I really, really, really encourage that.

The third thing is really simple. Just move your body. That overwhelm feeling just feels so awful, but if you just take five minutes to go outside and take a little jog or sit under a tree or whatever it may be, just to shift the environment a little bit, that also creates more space in your field. Three easy things, give it a shot, see how it works for you.
