Breakthrough Now with the Releasing Overwhelm CD

Do you ever find yourself wondering how long you can cope with the amount and quantity of ongoing Stress in your life? Whether it’s managing your workload, or the volume of information you are supposed to be on top of - or the combined demands of work and family and social life - you find yourself so completely exhausted at the end of the day - you feel numb. You may even feel angry, or exhausted or deeply frustrated.

If you are overwhelmed, like I used to be - you probably stew over how to fix your situation for good. In an attempt to feel better you may work harder, avoid the fact that a situation is really disturbing you, and swallow your feelings and reactions, or explode them on the easiest target. Maybe your health is showing signs of disturbance, or you are absent from your relationships. Your life or parts of it - can feel like one unmanageable heap of chaos.

Bottom line is you're stuck and frustrated and perhaps you need some tools and encouragement. Congratulations! You are open to believing there is the possibility of handling things differently. Opening up to receiving a new way of coping is the beginning of change - and you can change anything with an open mind and strong intention.

What are the symptoms of Overwhelm?

Overwhelm is the result of sustained and prolonged levels of stress and frustration. It means that you have become physically, emotionally, and mentally exposed to the effects of outside stressors that have left you feeling drained and not in charge of your faculties.
You don’t feel a sense of clarity and self-direction. When everyone and everything seems to demand something of you to the point that you have little of yourself left - you end up feeling overwhelmed. I know because until I learned two of the secrets of taking back my power – which I have shared with my corporate and individual clients over the past eleven years, I was constantly living with “I’ll be okay when…” and never getting there.

If you want to move beyond this you can with a little examination and some proactive strategies.

Do These Mental Stresses Apply to You or your Employees?

Frequently judge myself for not being the way I’d like to be/Or how my life could be?
Often blame or resent others if things don’t go well?
Cant’ shut my mind off and relax?
Worry about the future or the past and often distracted?

If you answered “yes” to these then most likely you could use some help in feeling more in the Flow of Your life. Perhaps you’d like to feel more energized and motivated and live with a greater certainty that you can really enjoy your life and not just survive it. You CAN be more EFFECTIVE.
