how to get out of your own head when you’re overwhelmed & anxious

how to slow down + be kinder to yourself when you feel overwhelmed, anxious & stressed

Feeling overwhelmed + anxious can be frustrating in a world where we're taught we constantly need to feel our best in order to be productive. I'm now realizing that when I'm overwhelmed, it's usually my body's way of telling me that I need to slow down and be kinder to myself (something I'm not great at doing). In this video, I'm sharing with you guys some coping methods I turn to in order to slow down and figure out what's going on when I feel like things are too much.

Life is a marathon, not a sprint. We need to develop healthy relaxation activities to recharge during down time. Also what we do when we up plays a super important role. We need to stick to healthy eating, daily exercising, cutting off negativity and negative people and we need to feed our selves with substance and not the crap the world feeds us. Be in control of what we can so that we can live well mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Too many people lately have been feeling on the edge. I feel like social media has a lot to do with how we distract ourselves and don't face our problems head on. Now that I'm off instagram mainly, suddenly I'm noticing sooo many things about myself and it's really overwhelming.

The universe works in mysterious ways. I was just thinking this morning on a way I can get through this intense anxiety I’ve been feeling, and I suddenly come across this in my subscription box. I need to start listening to the universe. Thank you, Lynette

You look so lovely in PURPLE, it is definitely one of your colors! I love cleaning when I'm feeling overwhelmed, it lends me a sense of control and I find it a very meditative form of self care.

totally agree with how yoga classes felt like a chore! now that i'm doing intuitive stretching i really feel the benefits and find that i'm connecting with my body more. : ) this vid was great, feeling in sync with u!

how convenient for this video to pop up as i was literally starting to feel overwhelmed and anxious 😭😭

[coachnickens]

You’re right…treating yourself like someone your taking care of is a different level of self love ☺️

You out here speaking facts! I really needed this. Meditation is so peaceful 🧘🏾‍♀️ when I meditate I release things I’m holding into and speak affirmations, love and light into my soul.

I just went through this. you articulated the "why" very well. I know its good to identify your emotions and why you're feeling that way. There's nothing wrong with having bad days, we need to allow ourselves to feel even when that means feeling sad. I often struggle with feeling lost but I must remember that there is so much out in the world and I will find my way.

Omg I'm first! 😁 Love your videos!!

[alexgroves]

Time and space to go within. Definitely a great investment. This video resonated on multiple levels at this time. I appreciate your transparency.

[JonathanSorunke]

Really good advice! Sometimes it can be difficult to do this especially if you’re a workaholic like me but it so important. Great video as always!

I have been sooo anxious and overwhelmed lately idk what it is. I am an introvert as well and when I’m overwhelmed I cannot talk or be around people if I have other things I need to get done.

This came at the best time thank you love your videos so much

I love the way you explain your relationship with yourself in terms of anxiety, it gave me a new perspective. Thank you!

Today is my first day of college and this is exactly what I needed I can’t stress enough how perfect timing this was for me thank you

[itscrystalstevens]

your vids are always right on time. I had a difficult past few days and I felt just like this : anxious and overwhelmed. I ended up sleeping 12+ hours, something I don’t allow myself to indulge in often. And it felt good giving my body that rest and not berating myself into feeling better. I let myself feel it out and treated myself with kindness. It’s nice to know I’m not alone on this journey, thanks for sharing 💓

[bethanyjade]

Your timing is perfect. I needed this today. Thank you 🙌❤

Thank you for making this video. I started yoga a week ago and it’s been really helpful I also meditate, and journal. I am the only one in my circle who does these practices to cope I am also the only one who goes to therapy and does this internal healing work. So I feel understood when I watch your videos. ❤️

think of meditating as watching your thoughts slowly flying by like clouds..its about awareness not repression, watch them pass by and then try to refocus on ur breathe to bring yourself back to the present ☁️ 🧘‍♀️
