Here are two basic ideas that can help you ease/eliminate the symptoms: * Quiet the Mental Chatter: That sense of overwhelm isn't just about the tasks at hand – it's also about our minds running wild. So, take a breather. Find a comfy spot, close your eyes, and let your thoughts unwind. Give your brain some downtime. Or… dont close your eyes. But just understand and accept, that a biggest part of being overwhelmed, is caused by the mind. * Be in the Now: Ever caught yourself worrying about things that aren't even happening? Like, you're driving, but your mind's busy folding laundry. Well, our minds are typically not able to solve problems that are not occurring right now. So Redirect your focus to what's happening right now. When driving, focus on the drive. Worried about forgetting stuff? Jot down a list. That way, your mind stays focused on the present action.
