@Amber- I hear you- in the middle of overwhelm is the last time we think to take a break- but it really does help.
@Susanne- Love the one minute meditation. I can see how this regular practice would definitely help keep overwhelm at bay.

Liz - what a great post! I can SO identify!! Recently, I found a great solution to overwhelm: the One-Minute Meditation. It really helps when you recognize you're eyeball deep in overwhelm, but helps even more to forestall overwhelm to begin with!

This rings so many bells for me. I was really hit by overwhelm last night. Sweaty palms, fast breathing, feelings of panic. My soundtrack saying, over and over, “It’s too much! I can never finish it all! I just want out!”

Taking a break is what helps me most. It sometimes seems counter-intuitive to stop when you have so much on your plate. But I can’t work when I’m panicking. So taking even a few minutes away leaves me refreshed and ready to start again.
