I read this to the Yogis last night - this is so common and yet so many of us have no idea that the foundation of overwhelm lies in how we live.
Prolonged computer and phone use, along with a bombardment of information being hurled at us, affects your energy levels through both physical strain and cognitive load, leading to a state often described as "wired and tired" not only mentally disturbing us with the content and the speed with which its relayed, however creating an inner state of overwhelm as the brain struggles to process and break down our daily tasks into manageable tasks
For me, I talk to myself with the most trusted voice for my subconscious mind, telling myself 'one step at a time Gaynor, one step" - immediately I can feel my nervous system calming down, allowing for the mind to quieten - my brain is then able to process what needs to be done in an orderly manner without the noise of the monkey chatter of a struggling, noisy mind creating overwhelm and distraction.
Enjoy Terrific Tuesday Yogis - be as terrific as the day one step at a time!!
