Welcome to these overcome overwhelm affirmations.

Overwhelm happens when we are overloaded,

Doing too much,

Thinking too much,

Planning too far ahead,

Solving problems that aren't ours to solve.

It can feel like your brain is on fire,

Like you can't cope.

Overwhelm can trigger your brain's fight flight freeze response.

It can be useful to remember that this response developed in early humans in response to urgently life threatening situations,

Like being chased by a large predator.

Put simply,

If your life is not at risk,

Stress is an overreaction.

Know that you are just one person,

In one place,

Here,

At one time,

Now.

Now pause,

Breathe in,

Hold the breath,

And exhale.

Let's begin.

I am calm.

I am centered.

I am focused.

I calmly do one thing at a time.

I do the things that matter.

There is always enough time to do what is important.
