Overwhelm or Clarity - Which are You Choosing

Feeling overwhelmed? Like there’s never enough hours in the day to get everything done you need to get done? At work you’re trying to get new clients, serving current clients, chasing payments, networking, using or getting to grips with social media. And if it’s not work, it’s the children, it’s the shopping, it’s your house, your partner, your friend, your mum, the dog, the babysitter, and so on and so on and so on!!!

No wonder as women we get tired or stressed. We’ve collectively bought into the job description of Superwoman, but Superwoman by her very nature is not like us, she’s super human and it’s impossible for us to live up to this ideal.

But that doesn’t stop us trying! We try to push through, we struggle or fight, we persist and try to stay determined, or we just pretend everything’s fine.

But when we do this we have to deal with the consequences. Consequences I’ve suffered from myself, and consequences I see women grappling with everyday e.g. always feeling the need for more – more money, more clients, or relationships; spending lots of money in your business for little or no return; or being at the point of burning out or giving up.

If this is you then don’t despair because truthfully, overwhelm is not about a lack of time. It’s about a lack of productivity, which comes from trying to do too much, from doing the important AND the unimportant things. From underestimating how much time these will take, and the emotional, physical or mental toll these will take on you. And in my opinion all of these stem from a lack of clarity.

So what might you be unclear about? Find out here and get my top tips to deal with them….
