IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR WHEN IT’S VERY EASY TO BECOME OVERWHELMED.
You know that slightly sick feeling when you’ve no idea how you’re going to get through everything.
And there’s a lot of everything.
Then, of course, there’s Overwhelm’s youngest sibling - Underwhelm.
What a pair.
Where’s Levelwhelm? The middle child. The one that’s chilled.
Fancy a bit more balance?
HERE ARE FOUR THINGS YOU CAN DO TO FIND MORE LEVELWHELM:
-
Get one thing over the line.
The very best way to tackle overwhelm is to finish one thing.
Just one.
Here’s a tip, make the one thing, an easy one. -
If people, places or things are underwhelming, lower your expectations.
They will be more ‘whelming.’ -
Laugh at the ridiculousness of your underwhelm.
This is the perfect follow on from lower your expectations.
-
Remember, no one cares.
One of my favourite people is the brilliant Patrick Kielty.
When I interviewed him for TEAM17 he reminded me of something he said I taught him during one of our coaching sessions.
He uses it all the time.
No one cares.- Burnt the sprouts – no one cares.
- Christmas card is late – no one cares.
- Present isn’t perfectly wrapped – no one cares.
- Tree doesn’t go up until Christmas Eve – no one cares.
WHAT ARE YOUR TIPS TO FIND LEVELWHELM?
