35: 5 Strategies for Managing Overwhelm

Today’s solocast is inspired by my experience of newly becoming a father. Being a father is an absolutely incredible experience and it also presents new challenges and moments of overwhelm. This feeling of overwhelm is something I’ve been very present to and I want to share my experience with it as well as the tactics I’ve used to develop a better relationship with it. These are tools that you can use to calm chaotic times in life, feel more supported, and develop a greater level of capacity to manage overwhelm.

Today on The Path Podcast:

• Identifying what’s in our circle of control
• The importance of sleep in being a more capable human
• 3 tools for strengthening discernment
• How to create a support system
• Action dispels overwhelm
• Reflecting on the fight, flight, freeze, and facade responses to stress
• Creating benchmarks in times of overwhelm
