Description

Have you ever been in need to make a decision, but been so overwhelmed that the decision feels impossible to make? Maybe standing in front of the toothpaste aile in the grocery store, unable to choose one of all the options? Or looking at your to-do list, unable to choose what to start with? Not to mention the decision of what to eat for dinner. Or do you have activities that you know you should do to feel better, but just doing them feels impossible? Today I want to share 2 tools that I use to reduce my overwhelm in those everyday situations, and make everyday life easier and run more smoothly.


 


Key takeaways


Every decision we make requires energy and willpower. The more decisions we make, the more energy is used, and eventually there is no energy left. By making as many decisions as possibbly into routines, you need to take fewer decisions, get energy over for better things and get rid of that overwhelm. 


Seccond guessing your healing process all the time gives doubt, fear and stress, which put the brain into high alert, worsening your symptoms like brain fog and overwhelm. By building a process to follow, trust it and stick with that, you can lower the stress on your brain, increasing your symptoms.
