Phew! I am feeling this transition, and it’s really overwhelming. So, I wanted to share some things I do to help me through the overwhelm during what can feel like big transitions.
First, I focus on allowing myself to move as slowly as possible. I do my best to prioritize the important things.
Second, no matter how slow I allow myself to go, I still have responsibilities, but I give myself more breaks than normal. I don’t power through overwhelm; I pace myself through it. I feel my way through it and I take note because it’s great writing material. check check
Third, I check in with friends and loved ones. They make me happy, and I love to make them happy when I can as well.
Fourth, I have no choice but to be extremely mindful of my inner self-talk. This cap rising does not like a slow pace. This cap rising wants to get shit done! So I have to remind myself that there are times when I’m a f*cking unstoppable machine, and there are times when I’m a tortoise in the hot desert sun. So cap, I need your order and your drive, but let’s focus it on my hair for the week instead of building empires.
Fifth, I write.
Those are the top 5 things. That about sums it up here in a few words, but let me tell you, the hard part is putting it to work and defending it.
