Over the last 4 years, I’ve worked 100+ hours per week.
During that time, I’ve built:
- This newsletter
- YouTube channel
- LinkedIn following
- Blogging business
- Coaching business
I’ve done all of that, while also:
- Buying a house
- Studying a degree
- Taking 10+ holidays
- Making investments
- Regularly socializing
- Cooking healthy meals
- Moving country 4 times
- Exercising 2 hours per day
I’m not superhuman. But I’ve got a high tolerance for overwhelm.
Because most people get stressed out when spinning so many plates.
They can’t deal with so much going on, and they react by:
- Not responding to messages
- Avoiding doing hard things
- Procrastinating on Netflix
- Drinking and eating crap
But this is the worst way to deal with overwhelm.
Because situations get out of control, and you make no progress.
So, this behavior leads to:
- Overweight
- No customers
- Low self-esteem
- Not enough money
- Damaged relationships
Trust me, I’ve been there.
I spent my 20’s being overwhelmed by life.
I left school at 18 with no qualifications. I found the job market (and life) overwhelming.
So I did what most people do:
- Avoid hard work
- No ambitious goals
- Loads of crappy jobs
- Always skip workouts
- Get drunk on the weekend
- 4 hours of video games per day
- Blame everyone else for my problems
But that behavior made me anxious.
I knew I was wasting my life. But the thought of fixing it was overwhelming.
I got out of that situation by switching my mindset.
I decided that I: “Don’t do overwhelm”.
Because overwhelm is a feeling. You are in control. You can choose to feel it or not.
So today, you have a choice. Are you going to:
a) Go into overwhelm and hide from your responsibilities.
or
b) Refuse to be overwhelmed and be limitless.
The choice is yours.
Oh, and here’s a bonus tip:
Live one day at a time.
If you look at a huge list of things you need to do, it’s going to be overwhelming.
So make a plan for each day, with a list of tasks you need to do, and stick to it.
Forget tomorrow. Just focus on today.
P.s. one more thing:
If you want to develop a strong mindset so you can:
- Be focused
- Get in shape
- Be consistent
- Be disciplined
- Build resilience
- Build a business
- Crush your goals
